Max Verstappen has made it clear that a critical change is needed for the RB20 at Red Bull Racing, sending a stern message to the team’s engineers. As the current season unfolds, Verstappen has expressed his dissatisfaction with the car’s performance and hinted that if improvements aren’t made, he might consider drastic actions.
In a recent meeting with Red Bull’s engineering team, Verstappen reportedly stafited, “This is what i feel, and this is what I need. It’s up to you guys. Just build another car in the next two weeks.” The Dutch driver emphasized the urgency of the situation, acknowledging the challenges posed by the cost cap but making it clear that changes are non-negotiable for him to continue competing at the highest level.
This statement has sent shockwaves through the Red Bull camp, as the team now faces mounting pressure to address the issues with the RB20 before their season derails. Verstappen’s ultimatum suggests that his patience is wearing thin, and without immediate action, his future at the team could be in question.
