Verstappen`s Future and Red Bull`s 2024 Struggles

Verstappen`s Future and Red Bull`s 2024 Struggles


As the 2024 Formula 1 season comes to a close, several key developments are shaping the future of the sport. Max Verstappen, the four-time World Champion, has been at the center of significant discussions.

Verstappen has revealed that several top teams, including Mercedes, Ferrari, and Aston Martin, have expressed interest in working with him, not just for Formula 1 but also for potential endurance racing ventures like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This interest highlights Verstappen's versatility and appeal beyond the F1 grid[1].

Despite his success in securing his fourth consecutive World Championship, the 2024 season was not without its challenges for Red Bull. The team faced a period of struggle mid-season, which Verstappen himself helped to diagnose. By analyzing team data, Verstappen identified a key problem that had been affecting the car's performance. This insight led to significant improvements, particularly after the Miami Grand Prix, where McLaren introduced an impressive upgrade package that initially outpaced Red Bull. Verstappen's analysis helped the team regain their competitive edge, leading to victories in Brazil and Qatar and ultimately securing the championship in Las Vegas[2].

In another notable development, Martin Brundle has pointed out that Lando Norris's off-track friendship with Verstappen may have led to an on-track underestimation. Norris's strong performance with McLaren, especially after their upgrade package in Miami, posed a significant challenge to Verstappen's dominance. However, Brundle believes that Norris still has much to learn about the difference between chasing and being chased, a lesson that could be crucial in future championships[3].

Additionally, the upcoming 2025 season is set to see a major shake-up with Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari. Juan Pablo Montoya is confident that Hamilton's move to Ferrari, similar to his previous move from McLaren to Mercedes, could lead to another championship title. Hamilton's arrival at Ferrari is seen as timely, given the team's recent improvements and their close finish to the 2024 season[4].
