The Race F1 Podcast · Verstappen + Antonelli? Our take on F1's next big driver moves · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

I think they are quite clearly behind...

in terms of deployment, in terms of cooling, in terms of a lot of things that are engine related behind Mercedes.

And that's not a fun position to be in for them.

I think he should be a little worried.

On the other hand, there is no Helmut Marko there to kick him out early, so he will get more time.

On the other hand, I'm a little worried because I know you do this as well, but

To listen to his onboard radio is traumatic even if you're not his race engineer.

There is an issue there.

I have tremendous respect for him.

I thought he did immensely well last year.

He's done well this year, but...

my God, is he highly strung.

And it might be a little problematic there.

And it's something to keep an eye on because what is Red Bull, what is the Red Bull organization going to do anyway with Solov?

And his position may be the shakiest somehow because I think Lawson and Limblad are doing an exceptional job at the moment with the material they have.

And what is going to happen as the pressure mounts, if Verstappen gets...

more and more competitive, more and more dialed in himself.

You could see him get interested as soon as the car got super competitive.

Does this mean that a weekend like this is now the new normal and how is he going to deal with that?

And what does that do for his position within the Red Bull family?
