Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has teased that a decision on VCARB’s second F1 driver will be announced following the Singapo✱re Grand Prix.

The identity of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda’s teammate for the 2025 F1 season is still unclear with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson the main two candidates.

Ricciardo has generally been out-performed by Tsunoda this year, even though he Australian was viewed as the likelier of the two to replace 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez mid-season if Red Bull d꧋ecided they wanted to make a ch🐠ange during the summer break.

Now, Red Bull have a decision꧟ to make between Ricciardo or L✃awson.

Lawson impr🍬essed during his short stand-in stint last year, ironically, in place of Ricciardo.

Ricciardo hꦕas been underwhelming on the whole but has steadily improved throughout the year.

T✱he Australian also has the backing of Red Bull boss Christian Horner.

However, with Lawson waitꦿing on the sidelines, Isack Hadjar impressing in F2, and Arvid Lindblad - another ♑junior - who’s impressing, opening up a seat at VCARB could be beneficial for the Red Bull programme.

Speaking to Viaplay, Marko said: “We have an idea, so just wait until Singapore. It's still Septemb꧒er and then 🦋we'll have a clear picture.

“It will become clear there what will happen.”

Marko has reiterated previously that Lawson will be driving for one of Red Bull’s teams in 🎀2025.

If Ricciardo is replaced for🎃 next year, it woulཧd leave him without a drive in F1.

One potential vacancy 💯is Sauber, which is still yet to decide between Valtteri Bottas or McLaren junior Gabriel Bortoleto.

Mattia Binotto is expect🐭ed to make a decision in the coming weeks though.

Bottas has failed to score a single point in 2024 - but that’s down to Sauber’s poor leve🌃l 💯of performance.

Bortoleto would be a more exciting o♊ption and sits top of the F2 standings aft🍸er Baku.
