Red Bull CEO Clashes with Ralf Schumacher Over Max Verstappen Remarks
The tension between Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff and former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has reached new heights as Schumacher continues to make bold predictions about Max Verstappen’s future with the team. Mintzlaff recently revealed that he had a conversation with Schumacher regarding his one-sided comments, emphasizing that while they don’t lose sleep over it, the remarks are being noticed.
Despite Red Bull’s historical dominance in Formula 1, recent challenges have raised doubts about their ability to maintain the top spot. With only one win in the first five races of the 2025 season, the pressure is on for Verstappen to secure his fifth consecutive World Championship title.
Schumacher’s outspoken opinions about Verstappen potentially leaving Red Bull for teams like Alpine have not gone unnoticed by Mintzlaff, who made it clear that such remarks do not go unaddressed. Mintzlaff highlighted Red Bull’s impressive track record in the sport, with six out of eight possible World Championship titles in recent years.
While the public feud between Mintzlaff and Schumacher continues to unfold, the focus remains on Red Bull’s performance on the track. As both parties strive for success and recognition, the dynamics within the F1 community are undoubtedly heating up.
