George Russell and Max Verstappen are definitely not the best of friends and it doesn't look like things will get any better in 2025. Even…
The year has barely begun, and Russell has already dropped a serious bombshell on his rival's turf, which will certainly not go unpunished.
According to Brit Verstappen, his outbursts are driving a quarter of Red Bull Racing's engineers to Mercedes, and the rest to other teams...
"I don't doubt his abilities, his driving style, but the moment he no longer has the fastest car, or if he collides with Lewis Hamilton, for example, at that moment everyone will be immediately guilty, but not him. He will explode and blame his entire team, and he will lose ground... Then what happened after the Hungarian Grand Prix, when almost immediately after that, 25 percent of their engineering team's CVs went to Mercedes, but many people also applied to McLaren and Aston Martin. He is not capable of working with a guy like that!
Christian Horner has categorically rejected Russell's claim, pointing out that Red Bull has long-term contracts with its key engineers, making the idea a shambles. He also warned George Russell that he would be best served by looking after himself.
Get ready Max Verstappen…
