While Max Verstappen has impressed this season, in a Red Bull that is much less dominant than previous seasons, both of his teammates have been stragglers at matching his pace, and at some points, the rest of the grid.<\/p>\n

Liam Lawson was unable to pick up any points from the two races he was afforded, while his replacement Yuki Tsunoda has a highest finishing place of sixth \u2014 at the Miami Grand Prix Sprint Race.<\/p>\n

There is sure to be movement surrounding the drivers at Red Bull and sister team Racing Bulls for next season, with one hopeful ruling himself out<\/a>, but the question of who still remains.<\/p>\n

Alan Permane states that drivers in the Red Bull family must ‘deliver’ before decision is made\"The<\/p>\n

Speaking to F1 TV<\/a> regarding the future of Red Bull second driver Yuki Tsunoda and Racing Bulls’ rookie sensation Isack Hadjar, RB’s team principal Alan Permaine said this:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere isn\u2019t a timeline [for any announcement]. The decision, as far as I know, will be made later in the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Permane further stated that it will be based on how the drivers perform for the rest of the season, instead of making an impulsive decision iright now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe drivers need to deliver and produce the best result – so that when we get to that decision point, we will have a lot more information, and it will be a much easier decision to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

Permane, on potential driver swapWho has the best chance at a move to Red Bull?\"Isack<\/p>\n

The possibility of 20-year-old Frenchman Isack Hadjar making a move up to Red Bull for 2026 seems the most likely outcome, as the youngster is ninth in the championship and recently picked up a shock podium<\/a> at Zandvoort.<\/p>\n

Hadjar has already confessed to wanting a move to Red Bull, saying in the Thursday press conference before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, “\u201cThe goal has always been to be a Red Bull driver since I signed with Red Bull, with the Red Bull Junior Team, so I think [my intentions are] quite clear.”<\/p>\n

As for Liam Lawson, the other Racing Bulls driver, his shot at a Red Bull seat is unlikely as he was dropped from the team after the Chinese Grand Prix at the start of the year. Speaking on his brief stint as a Red Bull driver, Lawson said “For me it’s hard… to look back on… because it was just the two races… I prepared, I tried to do everything I could.”<\/p>\n
