Red Bull's Verstappen Insurance Plan: Oscar Piastri in Sights
The Austrian team is hedging its bets as the driver market opens, with Piastri emerging as a potential successor.
Red Bull has identified as its preferred contingency option should depart, according to sources in the Miami paddock. Motorsport understands the team is exploring alternatives, though Verstappen remains contractually committed through 2025 and Red Bull publicly maintains its confidence in the four-time world champion's future with the outfit. The move signals uncertainty about Verstappen's long-term commitment despite denials, and shows Piastri's stock is rising as potential successor at a top team.
