Red Bull are attracted by Lando Norris’ star power partly because of doubts over Max Verstappen’s longevity, claims Sky’s David Croft.
championship this season amid Red Bull’s dominance which shows no signs of slowing down before the regulations change in 2026, has regularly hinted he may retire early.
Should their superstar depart, then Red Bull would want a replacement with comparable fame, which brings Norris into the equation, Crofty believes.
Yet doubts persist over his teammate Sergio Perez, the only other driver to win a race this year, whose form dipped just as Verstappen’s dominance grew. Perez is contracted for next season but, with Daniel Ricciardo openly admitting his desire for the 2025 Red Bull seat, his position is coveted.“When Sergio’s contract comes to an end, unless he is performing in the way that Red Bull want, they will look outside,” Crofty said.
“Unless Yuki Tsunoda, Liam Lawson or Daniel Ricciardo prove they can win races consistently, and be that big team challenge to Verstappen.”
