Last hour: The new director of Red Bull would have prepared a plan to fire Max Verstappen and replace him with two young promising pilots. It should be noted that Verstappen’s wife has also spoken to confirm her husband’s future.

In the world of formula 1, few news causes both stir and the rumors that involve the great champions. In the last hours, international media have reported that the new director of Red Bull Racing would have designed a concrete plan to end the Max Verstappen stage in the team, opening the way to a new generation of pilots.

According to this information, the Austrian team would seriously evaluate the possibility of replacing the three times world champion with two young talents who have shown an extraordinary potential in the lower categories. Although the names have not been officially confirmed, various sources suggest that Red Bull has already held initial conversations with their possible substitutes.

What seemed a simple rumor took more strength when Kelly Piquet, wife of Verstappen, broke the silence and spoke about her husband’s future. “We are evaluating all the options and thinking about what is better for him and for our family,” he said in an exclusive interview. His words, far from calming the situation, further fueled the speculation about a possible exit from the Dutch of the team that saw him consecrate himself as one of the greatest stars of modern motoring.

The arrival of the new director of Red Bull has been a change of course in the team’s strategy. Nearby sources say that it seeks to rejuvenate the template and project a long -term competitive team, although this implies drastic decisions that, at another time, would have been unthinkable. The hypothetical departure from Verstappen would not only mean the end of an era of successes, but also a sports and commercial risk for the brand.

For their part, fans have reacted with divided opinions. While some consider that it is time to give new promises opportunity, others believe that saying goodbye to a pilot with the Verstappen palmraés would be a monumental error.

In a championship where the internal policy of teams and personal relationships play a role as important as the speed on the track, this story promises to continue giving what to talk about. If the rumors are confirmed, we would be facing one of the most shocking movements in the recent history of Formula 1.
