BREAKING: McLaren WARNS Red Bull Verstappen after…read more.
In a surprising development ahead of the next Grand Prix, McLaren has expressed doubts over Max Verstappen’s ability to maintain his grip on the 2025 Formula 1 title race. The three-time world champion, who has been a dominant force in recent seasons, is now facing mounting pressure as rivals close the gap.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella raised eyebrows during a media briefing, suggesting that Red Bull’s recent dip in performance could open the door for other teams to capitalize. “We’ve seen a few cracks in their armor,” Stella said. “If things don’t improve quickly, Verstappen could find himself in a real fight not just with us, but with Ferrari and Mercedes too.”
Red Bull’s performance has indeed shown signs of vulnerability in recent races, with Verstappen finishing off the podium in two of the last three events. Mechanical issues and strategic missteps have allowed competitors like Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc to gain valuable points.
McLaren’s resurgence this season has been one of the standout stories, with consistent podium finishes and improved race pace. Their warning to Red Bull is not just mind games it’s based on real momentum and data-backed confidence.
As the season intensifies, all eyes will be on how Verstappen and his team respond. With more than half the calendar still to go, the title race is far from over, but the pressure is clearly mounting on the reigning champion.
