      ‘He’s going to call it a day’ – Ex-Red Bull mechanic claims Max Verstappen will quit F1 THIS YEAR

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN has been sensationally tipped to QUIT Red Bull at the end of the season by a former team mechanic.The Dutchman has won four drivers’ titles in a row and is hunting for a fifth this year – which would see him match a feat only achieved by Michael Schumacher in Formula One history.Max Verstappen has been tipped to win a fifth F1 title and then call it quitsCredit: Shutterstock EditorialThe call comes from ex-Red Bull mechanic Calum NicholasCredit: GettyHowever, Verstappen has fallen 49 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri amid huge performance struggles with the Red Bull machinery this season.Verstappen has continued winning races despite the issues and even the power struggle which hit the team last year.He has been linked with an exit from the Racing Bulls, with a team transfer to the likes of Mercedes or Aston Martin.But ex-Red Bull mechanic Calum Nicholas believes Verstappen – who became a dad for the first time last month – could QUIT F1 entirely, if he wins a fifth World Drivers Championship.READ MORE IN F1Speaking on Lucas Stewart’s YouTube channel as he played a round of golf, Nicholas was asked how many titles Verstappen would win in his career. He gave his answer before revealing what he thought lay ahead for the 27-year-old.Nicolas said: “Five. I think Max is going to win the Drivers’ this year, and then I think he’s going to call it a day.”Despite his answer, the mechanic insisted he didn’t “know anything” extra about Verstappen’s career plans.Most read in MotorsportBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKNicholas added: “To not back Max is just like lunacy, I think. The guy is just really really good.”Not in terms of just his technical skill and his talent, but I’ve watched Max grow into this guy that can do everything. Lewis Hamilton hit with grid penalty at Monaco Grand Prix after blunder saw him forced to apologise to Verstappen”He does everything well now.”Verstappen’s last race win this season came at the Imola Grand Prix on May 18.He finished fourth at the Monaco Grand Prix a week later before inexplicably ramming his car into George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.That earned him a 10-second penalty – demoting him from P5 to P10 – and three penalty points on his licence to put him on the brink of a race ban.Verstappen has 11 out of 12 points needed to earn a race ban across the 12-month rolling system for the penalty points.He will need to be on his best behaviour at the Canadian and Austrian Grand Prix to avoid a ban in the following race before he sees two penalty points expire on June 30. Read More on The SunSunSport looked at five potential replacements for Verstappen if he is banned from competing for one weekend.Names include impressive F1 rookie Isack Hadjar, Red Bull flop Liam Lawson and F2 prodigy Arvid Lindblad, who recently raced against Leeds United stars on the Elland Road pitch.

      Five contenders to replace Max Verstappen at Red Bull including shock return with star man at risk of F1 ban

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN is just one point away from a race ban after ramming into George Russell in the Spanish Grand Prix last time out. The Dutchman must be on his best behaviour in the next two races in Canada and Austria before two points are wiped from his license. Verstappen admitted ramming into Russell during the Spanish Grand Prix was “not right”Credit: PAHe was slapped with his first two penalty points in the current rolling 12-month period after last year’s Austrian Grand Prix on June 30.He collided with Norris on 30 June, and even after those points expire this year he will still be three points away from suspension. Verstappen will be teetering on the edge of a ban until after the Mexican Grand Prix on 27 October having pushed Norris off the track in last year’s race there. There has been wide speculation over who will step into the Red Bull hot seat if the Dutchman is suspended, so SunSport gives you everything you need to know on the potential candidates. Isack Hadjar has finished in the points in five of the nine races this seasonCredit: AlamyISACK HADJAR The French-Algerian 20-year-old has impressed in his rookie campaign for Racing Bulls. He has enjoyed a meteoric rise from being left in tears in the season opener in Melbourne after crashing in the rain on the formation lap. BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKSince then he has finished in the points in five of the nine races this season and and secured a glittering fifth in qualifying in the Monaco show piece.The last rookie to achieve that feat was seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.Most read in MotorsportIt is early days yet but Hadjar’s aggressive driving style has been compared to Verstappen’s fierce approach. He also tested the 2024 car and found it “comfortable” rather than tricky like many others who have sat in the Red Bull cockpit.Max Verstappen snaps at Sky Sports broadcaster as he addresses Red Bull futureWhen Red Bull boss Christian Horner was asked about Hadjar, he said: “I think he’s been the most outstanding rookie. He’s exceeded all of our expectations.”He’s been fast, consistent, and constantly delivered. His future, if he keeps performing as he is, is very bright.”Liam Lawson was axed as Red Bull’s No2 driver after just two races this seasonCredit: GettyLIAM LAWSON The Kiwi 23-year-old isn’t completely off the radar despite suffering a woeful TWO-RACE stint as a Red Bull driver at the start of this season.He suffered three early exits in all three qualifying sessions, including the sprint, and didn’t bag a single point before being turfed out to Racing Bulls for Yuki Tsunoda. However, Lawson has experience with this season’s car and that could boost his credentials when weighing up the options for a one-off race. Things are looking up for the Racing Bulls driver too with him securing his first points in Monaco. Daniel Ricciardo was bought back into the Red Bull family in 2023 to race for their junior teamCredit: EPADANIEL RICCIARDO This is a huge blast from the past but Aussie maestro Ricciardo, 35, is a wild shout to fill in for Verstappen. Afterall, he is an experienced, senior head in the paddock, remains a favourite of Horner and has bags of experience with the team. Ricciardo knows the team inside and out, having spent two seasons with the junior side before enjoying five years as a Red Bull driver.He won seven grands prix racing alongside both Red Bull legends Sebastian Vettel and Verstappen.Horner bought him back into the Red Bull family at the end of 2023 with the then-junior team Alpha Tauri before he was dropped for Liam Lawson the following year.Japanese driver Ayumu Iwasa filled in for Verstappen in FP1 in Bahrain this yearCredit: RexAYUMU IWASA The Japanese Super Formula driver has been part of the team’s junior drivers’ programme since 2021. Marko said at the start of the season: “We have Ayumu Iwasa as our reserve driver” with the 23-year-old an F3 and F2 race winner. It is a big shout for him to replace Verstappen for a one-off race though with his more likely destination being a stand in driver for Racing Bulls. He filled in for Verstappen in FP1 at this year’s Bahrain Grand Prix, and made his Racing Bulls debut in practise in Suzuka last year. Brit driver Arvid Lindblad has been making waves in Red Bull’s junior programmeCredit: GettyARVID LINDBLAD The 17-year-old Brit is a future star of Red Bull, having been with the team for four-years. He continues to make waves this season, making his debut in F2 for Camps Racing, as part of Red Bull’s junior team. He stood on top of the podium this season for the Saudi Arabian sprint race and in Spain last time out. It would still be a huge step up to be thrust into the Red Bull seat and his age is also a barrier. The FIA announced in 2016 that an F1 driver must be at least 18 unless they are “judged to have recently and consistently demonstrated outstanding ability and maturity in single-seater formula car competition”.Read More on The SunEarlier this year Helmut Marko revealed they had applied for an exemption from the FIA’s ruling that drivers under the age of 18 are not eligible to receive a super license.They want to promote Lindblad to official reserve driver status so he may be well be on the F1 grid soon.

      Premier League side risk ruining pitch as stars race RED BULL F1 CAR in their stadium

      by

      LEEDS only just won the Championship title race – but have already found themselves in a new one.Players raced against a FORMULA ONE CAR at Elland Road – but the stunt risked ruining their pitch ahead of their return to the Premier League.Three Leeds players raced a Red Bull F1 car on the Elland Road pitchCredit: Red BullWilly Gnonto, Largie Ramazani and Isaac Schmidt took on F2 driver Arvid LindbladCredit: Red BullLeeds are sponsored by Red Bull, whose sporting ventures also include the F1 team.And in an unlikely collaboration, club chiefs allowed the RB7 motor on the playing surface to compete in a drag race against three of Leeds’ fastest stars. The idea came about at last year’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone – with the players thinking they had a chance of beating the mega engine with a few obstacles.So Willy Gnonto, Largie Ramazani and Isaac Schmidt took on F2 driver Arvid Lindblad in the unique challenge.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLThe footballers and racing car started on the edge of the penalty box and had to go around mannequins on the 18-yard line at the other end of the pitch and come back to the starting point to finish. Lindblad suffered a nightmare start as he struggled to get the wheels going on the grass.The four involved were pretty much dead level approaching the mannequins. And the car’s turning circle meant the footballers regained their lead going into the second half of the race. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSBut as they began to tire – or tyre – the car closed the gap and eventually roared past to win by about 30 yards. F1 fan Largie Ramazani said of the publicity stunt: “This was a great experience, the only thing better would be getting in the car.Inside Leeds stars’ wild title celebrations as Bamford and Ampadu ‘leave Burnley fanbase in meltdown’ with karaoke song“Before the race I was scared, but I was confident too. I think we did great, but in the end the car was just too quick. “Dan James was involved in the idea but unfortunately he’s been injured.”But I’d back my team-mate over that car any day – DJ would smoke this car.”Driver Lindblad added: “Ahead of the race I was a bit nervous. “I’d never driven on grass and had no idea how it would go.”The car has a ton of horsepower and there is not much grip on grass, so I wasn’t sure if I could go full throttle and turn the car properly.”Read More on The SunThe spectacle also featured a slalom ‘dribbling’ challenge – and it was no wonder the car left tyre marks across the pitch.No doubt the groundstaff were not best pleased… although the pitch will likely be ripped up and replaced for the Premier League campaign after winning the 2024-25 Championship under Daniel Farke.
