Verstappen's Potential Ban: Who Will Replace Him in Red Bull?

Formula 1: Who Could Replace Verstappen if Banned? Red Bull Faces Crucial Decision The recent Spanish Grand Prix saw Max Verstappen involved in a controversial incident that could lead to a race ban. This raises a critical question for Red Bull Racing: who would replace the reigning world champion? Several names are in the running, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Isack Hadjar, a 20-year-old rookie, has shown exceptional promise this season, even qualifying P5 in Monaco. "Isack Hadjar is the obvious pick," says RaceFTW in a recent YouTube video analyzing the situation. His strong performance makes him a compelling contender. However, Liam Lawson, despite his experience with Red Bull, has struggled this season. His early season difficulties could count against him. Other potential candidates include Ayumu Iwasa, who is excelling in Super Formula, and Daniel Ricciardo, a former Red Bull driver whose return would be popular but faces challenges given his time away from the sport. The decision facing Red Bull is complex, balancing the need for experience with the potential of younger talent. The outcome will significantly impact the team's performance in the remainder of the season.
