A remarkable prediction for Red Bull’s 2025 F1 driver line-up has left Sergi🐓o Perez as the senior driver.

Max Verstappen will be out of the team, it has bee🔥n claimed, yet Perez will prove his doubters wrong and earn a new co𒉰ntract.

As for Verstappen’s replacement?

L’Equipe journalist Fred🦹 Ferret was asked on the podcast be😼fore the F1 Australian Grand Prix to predict Red Bull’s driver duo next year, and answered: “I would bet on Liam Lawson and Checo Perez!”

Versta💎ppen is contracted to Red Bull until 2028 but a contract claus♕e reportedly allows him to leave, if Helmut Marko departs the team. Although Verstappen has pledged loyalty to Red Bull.

Mercedes have been flirting with the idea oꦛf recruiting their rival to replace Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton in 2025.

Perez, meanwhile, faces a year of scrutiny to earn an extension to his Red Bull contract wh🌞ich expires at the end of this year.

And the talented prospect Lawson, who impressed as a replacement for the injured Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri last season, has been sensationally predicted as a replacement forꦗ Verstappen.

Natalie 🦹Pin༒kham reacted to the shock prediction: “It's all about the dynamic.

“Iꦛ can see that you have to be strategic with this, if you are second to Max. That's frankly what you will be, if you join the team and he is still there.

“You've got to be strategic in terms of your career. We've seen so many fall by the wayside who hav⛄e partnered him.

“You𓆏 shouldn't be lured by the attraction of going to what is clearly the fastest car, at the moment, if you're go꧅ing to get crushed by Verstappen.

“I believ꧒e Ma♍x will be there. But stranger things have happened.

“And, if he is still there, I can see them putting in a young and inexperienced driver alon🔥gside them.”

But Pinkham’s pick for Red Bull’s 2025 line-up𒁏 is Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.

“You kn♉ow I'd l🐠ove Daniel to be back in the Red Bull,” she said.

“I think he's at a stage of his career wher♛e he could absolutely handle it.

“Ironically I think Daniel could put up a better performance in a Red Bu�😼�ll than he is now in an RB.

“He knows that car. It s🍌uits him. He's proven himself in it🐎.

“Form is temporary, talent is permanent.

“Why wouldn't you wa﷽nt to close out your career at the best team?

“I do think he'd be a good fit for Max. He's m𝕴ature and experienced, he wouldn't be phased by Max in the same way. Hღe'd be prepared to play the team game.”
