Helmut Marko has suggested he wants a Red Bull junior as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s teammate for the 2025 F1 season.

The i🔯dentity of Verstappen’s teammates in 2025 continues to be a hot topic.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s form generally in 2024 has beenꦏ underwhelming, but he’s survived the axe.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo was thought to be the ideal candidate to replace the Mexica🃏n until he was replaced by Liam Lawson.

It’s believed that Red Bᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚull will now evaluate Lawson in the final six races to assess whether he could race alongside Verstappen next year.

Speaking to Austrian TV station ORF, Marko said: “I don't k💙now in how many races he [Lawson] was faster than Yuki, but that's why we decided that now is the time to make a comparison with Yuki. Who of the two is the fastest?

“Admittedly, Yuki has improved a lot. He has his emotions under control better. He was sometimes very bad on the radio.ꦚ Those tirades also slowed him down.

“In other words, he lost his speed. That bothered me🔴 the most.𒁏 But that's gone now. He's fast and consistent on all circuits.”

Marko noted that riva♔l F1 teams are opting forꦅ youth.

Haas have replaced Kevin Magnussen with Oliver Bearman, while 18-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s replacement at Mercedes.

Fr♊anco Colapinto has also impressed during his short stint at Williams, potentially putting him in the framꦜe for a drive next year with Sauber.

“Youth is the trend again,” he added. “What we 𓆏used to do, is now being done by Mercedes with Antonelli, Haas with Bearman, and I also hope thatColapinto will end up somewhere.

“He was thrown in at the deep end 🌞and has delivered three greaꦚt races.”

When pressed on his hopes for Verstappen’s teammate in 2025, he 🅠concluded: “Ideally with a junior fꦯrom our own junior programme.”
