The team is about to collapse. This is no longer possible.

The Formula -1 World is in turmoil. Now Jos Verstappen, father and mentor of the reigning world champion Max Verstappen, has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation at Red Bull Racing. The recent performance of the team, in particular the RB21 car, has led to a wave of criticism and speculation about the future of Max Verstappen in the Austrian team. Jos Verstappen has determined difficult requirements: There must be major changes in his son’s contract, especially in the area of technical improvements. Without these adjustments, the team continues to face a competition in which Ferrari and Mercedes are currently tone.

The season began to promise Red Bull, with Max Verstappen, who continued his dominant form of recent years. In the course of the races, however, it became clear that the RB21 had to deal with serious defects. The car lacks speed and reliability, consistently to compete with the improved cars from Ferrari and Mercedes. Where Red Bull previously dominated race with a combination of aerodynamic superiority and strategic finesse, the team now seems to have under the first three problems. This has led to frustrations, not only among the drivers, but also among fans and within the team management.

Jos Verstappen, who has always been a pronounced figure in his son’s career, was not a magazine. It particularly indicates the technical deficit of the RB21. According to him, the car cannot keep an eye on the competition, which not only hinders Max’s performance, but also endangers its chances of a fourth world championship title. “If Red Bull does not quickly go hand in hand with solutions, the team will recently collapse,” said Jos. He emphasized that Max, who is still considered one of the best drivers on the net, cannot get the best out of his talent with a lower car.

The call to contractual changes is not just a question of technical upgrades. Jos Verstappen has proposed that clauses have to be included in Max’s contract, in which the team conducts significant improvements within a certain period of time. This would be unprecedented in Formula 1, in which contracts usually bind the drivers to a team without these specific technical requirements. It shows how great the worries in Kamp Verstappen are about the future of the Red Bull Racing.

The tension can be felt in Red Bull itself. Team boss Christian Horner has admitted that the team has to fight, but he remains optimistic about the opportunity to solve the problems. “We are aware of the challenges and work day and night to make the RB21 more competitive,” said Horner. However, the confidence of the transfers in the team seems to fall. There are even rumors that Max could possibly switch to another team if the situation does not improve, although his contract with Red Bull will continue until 2028.

In the meantime, the competition looks with interest. Ferrari has already won several races with a strong line -up and an improved car this season and seems ready to throw Red Bull off the throne. Mercedes, which is back in top shape after a difficult time, is also a serious threat. For Red Bull, the pressure on performance is higher than ever, especially now that Jos Verstappen criticism puts the team’s internal problems in the spotlight.

The situation at Red Bull Racing ended at a critical point. Jos Verstappen has made it clear that he will not accept that his son should be satisfied with a car that cannot take part in the fight for the world title. The ball is now at Red Bull to show that you can improve the RB21 and maintain your star driver’s trust. Without quick and effective changes, the team threatens to continue to sink into the ranking, which not only has consequences for this season, but also for the future of one of the most dominant team in the recent history of Formula 1.
