Carlos Sainz has made himself a prime Red Bull contender with his impressive performances this season.
Max Verstappen will not allow a driver like Carlos Sainz to join the Red Bull team which is “wrapped around his finger”, claims BBC F1 commentator Harry Benjamin.
With Benjamin claiming that the Red Bull team is firmly built around Verstappen, he feels the three-time World Champion would sense “trouble” with either Spaniard, and so will not allow Red Bull to make Sainz his 2025 team-mate.“We’d all love to see two drivers fighting it out, Senna, Prost-style, and even Rosberg, Hamilton-style most recently,” said Benjamin.
“Everything they do is for him and for his benefit. He is that team, he’s got it wrapped around his finger. And the power that he and his father Jos Verstappen hold is massive. “Sainz and Verstappen were team-mates at Toro Rosso when they both came into Formula 1 together, and there were fireworks between them then, and that was when they were racing over ninth and tenth. What’s it going to be like if they end up racing for a race win?Verstappen is chasing his fourth successive World Championship in F1 2024, which would see him equal Sebastian Vettel’s title-winning run with Red Bull between 2010-13.
