Red Bull CONFIRM Order to Replace Verstappen at Canadian GP After Co…read more
In a sensational twist ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing have CONFIRMED plans to replace Max Verstappen — IF the reigning World Champion faces a one-race ban due to his growing penalty points.
😱 What’s Going On?
Verstappen is on the edge of suspension, sitting on 11 penalty points on his FIA Super Licence — just one point away from an automatic race ban.
With the Canadian GP fast approaching, Red Bull aren’t taking any chances. The team has officially put a replacement plan in motion should Verstappen’s total tick over the 12-point threshold.
🧨 Who Could Step In?
Red Bull has a shortlist of drivers ready to jump in at a moment’s notice, including:
- Isack Hadjar – A rising star from the Racing Bulls team, already making waves in the junior ranks.
- Liam Lawson – A proven talent who previously subbed in for AlphaTauri (now Racing Bulls) and impressed the paddock.
Insiders suggest Hadjar is first in line if a last-minute switch is needed — but Lawson remains a strong contender if Red Bull want experience.
🔥 Team Reaction
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed:
“We are prepared. We have options. If Max is suspended, we’ll act immediately.”
Team principal Christian Horner also weighed in, reportedly warning Verstappen to stay clean this weekend to avoid triggering the ban.
🏆 What’s at Stake?
- A one-race suspension for Verstappen would shake up the championship battle.
- Red Bull could lose crucial Constructors’ points at a vital moment in the season.
Fans are already bracing for potential chaos in Montreal — and wondering: Could this open the door for Ferrari or McLaren to pounce?
