Jos Verstappen has shared the team-mate he would prefer to see alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull in 2025 – in contrast to his son’s choice.

The team’s current lineup consists of the three-time world champion and Sergio Perez, who is currently contracted with Red Bull through to 2026.

However, the Mexican’s failure to deliver this season has resulted in not only McLaren, but also Ferrari toppling Red Bull in the constructors’ standings.

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner was spotted leaving Williams’ motorhome at the Brazilian GP, and reports have since suggested that the team are interested in signing Franco Colapinto for 2025.

The Argentine has impressed since his F1 debut, but will have to make way for Carlos Sainz who joins Williams in 2025.

VCARB driver and Daniel Ricciardo’s replacement Liam Lawson could also be in line for a promotion to Red Bull if his performances impress in the final three races, with Verstappen’s father throwing support behind the Kiwi.
