Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz has put the spotlight on technical chief Pierre Wache after Red Bull’s underwhelming start to the 2025 F1 season.

While 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen sits second in 🌄the F1 drivers’ standings after two races, Red Bull have had the fourth-fastest car after the opening two ra♑ces.

In China, V✤erstappe🗹n spent most of the race in a distant sixth place, running behind the two Ferraris.

Verstappen jumped 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, who switched to a two-stop strategy, and with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc strug🥂gling with tyre degradation due to his front wing damage, moved up to fourth in the𓂃 closing laps.

Red Bull have struggled considerably with car d😼evelopment since the middle of last year, winning just tꦗwo of the previous 16 races.

Red Bull’s poor form coincided with Adrian 𒁏Newey’s departure from the team.

Newey’s exit was announced during the Miami Grand Prix weekend, ෴with t๊he F1 design genius making the switch to Aston Martin for 2025.

, Kravitz questioned whether Wache - who's responsible for the RB21 - can make the improvements needed to take on McLaren.

“Let’s see if they’re really serious about winn🐻ing the constructors’ because swapping drivers after two races suggests you’re only after the drivers’ and clearly if they win the drivers’ this year that would be a massive win wouldn’t it?” Kravitz said.

“Against Lando and Oscar in a much better Mclaren, that woul🃏d be clearly the best of Max’s of what would be five in a row so let’s see if they’re serious abouꦬt winning constructors’.

“Let🐼’s see if Piꦗerre Wache is any good. It’s his car. It’s slower than the McLaren at the moment.

“Adrian Newey hasn’t touched this car. Cܫan he fix it? Can they fix it? Let’s wait and find out.”

Red Bull’s mass exodus

Red Bull are suffering from their own success.

In recent ye🌜ars, they’ve lost a number of high-profile team personn✤el.

Rob Marshall leftꦕ the team for McLaren in 2023 - and is widely res🀅ponsible for the latter’s upturn in form recently.

Jonathan Wheatley is Sauber’s new team principal after a le⛄ngthy stint at Red Bull.

Newey bowed out of Red Bull in the middle of last year to take up a role𝔍 at As🐼ton Martin as their managing technical partner.

Without Verstappen’s on-track brillianc♋e, things would look much worse for Red Bull and Christian Horner.

Horner and Helmut M🃏arko’s leadership has been scrutinised again after their brutal decision to drop L🍃iam Lawson after just two rounds in 2025.

Yuki Tsunoda will take his place at Red Bull alongside Verstappen from this weekend’s Japa💃nese Grand Prix.
