Red Bull Teetering on Brink: Mark Webber’s Dire Warning of Impending Crisis

Former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber has issued a stark warning to Red Bull Racing, drawing a comparison between Max Verstappen and MotoGP legend Marc Marquez. Webber suggests that Red Bull could be heading towards a crisis situation if they don’t address the issues within the team.

Webber highlighted the potential risk Red Bull faces when Verstappen eventually leaves, comparing it to the challenges Honda encountered when Marquez departed for Gresini Ducati. The Australian driver expressed concerns about the team’s ability to provide a competitive car for drivers other than Verstappen.

The recent decision by Red Bull to replace Liam Lawson with Yuki Tsunoda after just two races has raised eyebrows in the racing community. It appears that the RB21 car is proving to be a tough machine to handle, with even the reigning champion struggling to unlock its full potential this season.

In a podcast appearance, Webber emphasized the importance of maximizing the car’s performance beyond just Verstappen. He likened the situation to Marquez’s tenure at Honda, where the Spanish rider was integral in developing the bike to suit his riding style.

Webber criticized the performance gap between Verstappen and Lawson as “unacceptable,” stating that Verstappen is essentially carrying the team on his shoulders. The decision to replace Lawson so early in the season underscores the challenges Red Bull is facing to field a competitive lineup.

The Australian driver suggested that Red Bull needs to ensure the car is usable for more than just one driver, pointing out that Sergio Perez, who joined the team last year, is also struggling to match Verstappen’s pace.

With Verstappen showcasing exceptional talent in extracting performance from the car, comparisons to Marquez’s dominance in MotoGP have surfaced. Both drivers have demonstrated a killer instinct and a relentless drive to win races.

As Red Bull navigates through internal challenges and strives to maintain competitiveness in Formula 1, Webber’s warning serves as a wake-up call for the team to address the issues plaguing their lineup and car performance.
