Former "Formula 1" driver Ralf Schumacher spoke about the future of "Red Bull" driver Max Verstappen.
Idman.Biz reports that there have been media reports about Verstappen leaving the tournament.
"I think we just have to be honest now that "Red Bull" doesn't look like a particularly attractive option in its current state. It's still a long-term project. Engine development is the main focus, and by the way, they're doing a good job of it. But the team itself is currently in a bit of chaos; everything is going in different directions. There is no clear communication with the outside world. And there is no figure who can give direction like Helmut Marko."
If Verstappen leaves, it will be difficult for them. In fact, the team was mainly built around him, and that makes sense given his success. But I still don't think he's going to leave. Leaving when the team isn't working and the car isn't performing... that would look like running away. That's not in his character. On the contrary, I think it is important for him to bring the team back to the top," RacingNews365 quotes Schumacher as saying.
