How Max Verstappen’s title charge may have harmed Red Bull’s future<\/p>\n

\nRed Bull F1 team principal Laurent Mekies<\/a> has suggested that the pursuit of a fifth world championship title for Max Verstappen in 2025 may cost the team heading into next season. <\/p>\n

\nVerstappen had fallen as far as 104 points away from the top of the championship at one stage of the season, but he and Red Bull produced a stunning fightback in the latter third of the season, eventually finishing within two points of champion Lando Norris.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\nRed Bull continued to develop their car throughout that period, however, something Mekies believes could have a knock on affect for next year. <\/p>\n
