Verstappen taunts Vettel and Gasly

“Everyone can come back and try again, but they won’t be successful,” the Dutchman told the news agency Reuters in a video interview before the Formula 1 Tuscan Grand Prix in Mugello.

Verstappen is committed to Red Bull Racing for the long term, and Gasly is driving for the second Formula 1 team AlphaTauri, managed by the drinks company, this year. Last season, the Frenchman couldn't get along with the Red Bull car at all and was replaced by the Thai Alexander Albon after the summer break and due to mediocre performances. Before that he drove for the sister team Toro Rosso, which is now called AlphaTauri. Is Gasly moving back to Red Bull? Because Albon can't even come close to keeping up with Verstappen this year, while Gasly is doing very well, there have recently been voices advising Red Bull to swap drivers again. Accordingly, Gasly should be promoted back into the Red Bull cockpit and Albon should go the opposite way. But that won't happen in the near future, the team bosses involved confirmed in Mugello after Gasly had not categorically ruled out a return to Red Bull this week.

According to AlphaTauri boss Franz Tost, the decision on who will drive for Red Bull alongside Verstappen next season will be made in October or November. The Austrian practically ruled out a quick move from Gasly back to the team from Milton Keynes this year. “I don’t assume that,” he said in the interview ORF -television.

In any case, Verstappen doesn't seem to worry too much about who his teammate is and what their performance is like. “At the moment we’re not fighting for the World Cup so it doesn’t really matter,” said the 22-year-old.

“I don’t expect Seb to be much faster than Sergio” Max Verstappen The Dutchman also has a clear opinion about the imminent driver change at Racing Point, where Ferrari latecomer Sebastian Vettel will replace the Mexican Sergio Perez after the season and the team will be reborn as Aston Martin. “I don’t expect Seb to be much faster than Sergio,” emphasized the Silverstone winner.
