On the paper, the Veristapian is the Red Bill driver next year and beyond. A Red Bill spokesman said: “Max has a 2028 contract.”
At the same time, Virtan and its administration have talked with Mercedes about the possibility of moving there next year. And it is likely that if Versestapin really wanted, he could find a way to get out of his Red Bill deal.
Red Bill Motorport Advisor Helmet Marco said in April he had said that he had “Big concern” The team had its performance about the future of Virtanopine. And in March he told BBC Sports: “We know that if we don’t supply Max, all high drivers have performance clauses in the contract.”
For versatapins, there are obvious reasons why the Red Bill can look attractive to Mercedes.
He has made the titles of four consecutive drivers with his current team, but in the past 18 months, the Red Bill has slipped from its competitive pedestal.
Virtanopin won such a big lead in the first half of the last season that he managed to face the late challenge with a relative with MacLaran and Lando Noor.
But McLaren started this season strictly, and the Red Bill could not increase the challenge.
Versistapen has won two, but they have come to a similar circuit – those who are basically sharp corners. On balance, MacLaran is a sharp car.
It has lost Sobar to Sobar, and longer sporting director Jonathan Whitley in the context of losing to Austin Martin, the legend of his design legend of Red Bill.
Former Red Bill Driver Sergio Perez, dismissed the end of the season but was able to negotiate the deal that forced the team to pay for two years of its contract, a podcast this week said that the Red Bill’s departure was directly from the fall.
It would not be a surprise, if in these situations, the confidence in the ability to design the full competitive car of the Red Bill of the Red Bill of Virtan was knocked.
Then next year, F -1 has new rules, which represent a major change in both cars and engines. The engine change is especially large. This increases the total performance ratio of the engine provided by the electrical components to 50 %.
The Red Bill has set up a new company to produce and build its engine. It was always a difficult task, and the widespread belief within the F1 at the moment is that Mercedes is leading the performance with new engines, and that the Red Bill is struggling.
After that, Virtan is looking at a situation where he has a serious question mark about the future prospects of the Red Bill, and every reason to believe Mercedes can provide him with a more competitive car next season.
