Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz has put the spotlight on technical chief Pierre Wache after Red Bull’s underwhelming start to the 2025 F1 season.

While 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen sits second in the F1 drivers’ standingꦬs after two races, Red Bull have had t✃he fourth-fastest car after the opening two races.

In China, Verstappen spent most of the race in a distant sixth plaℱce, running behind the two Ferraris.

Verstappen jumped 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, who switched to a two-stop strategy, and with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc struggling with tyre degradation due to his front wing damage, move🧜d up to fourth in the closing laps.

Red Bull have struggled considerably with car development since the middle of las🐽t year, winning just two of the previous 16 races.

Red Bull’s poor form coincided with Adrian Newey’s departure from the🍒 team.

Newey’s exit was announced during the Mi꧋ami Grand Prix weekend, with the F1 de⛎sign genius making the switch to Aston Martin for 2025.

, Kravitz questioned whether Wache - who's responsible for the RB21 - can make the improvements needed to take on McLaren.

“Let’s see if they’re really serious about winning the constructors’ because swapping drivers after two races suggests you’re only after the driversꦫ’ and clearly if they win the drivers’ this year that would be a massive win wouldn’t it?” Kravitz said.

“❀Against Lando and Oscar in a much better Mclaren, that would be clearly the best of Max’s of what would be five in a row so let’s see if t𒊎hey’re serious about winning constructors’.

“Let’s see if P🅠ierre Wache is any good. It’s his car. It’s slower than the McLaren at 🍸the moment.

“Adrian Newey hasn’t touched this car. Can he fix it? Can they fix it?❀ Let’s wait and find out.”

Red Bull’s mass exodus

Red Bull are suffering from their own success.

In recent years, they⛎’ve lost a number of high-profile team personnel.

Rob Marshall left the team for McLaren in 2023 - and is widely responsible for the latter’s upturn in 🍌form recently.

Jona🍬than Wheatley is Sauber’🌌s new team principal after a lengthy stint at Red Bull.

Newey bowed out of Re𝄹d Bull in the middle of last year to take up a role at Aston Martin as their managing technical partner.

Withou🍷t Verstappen’s on-track brilliance, things would look much worse for Red Bull and Christian Horner.

Horner and Helmut Marko’s leadership has been scrutinised again af♔ter their brutal decision to drop Liam Lawson after just two rounds in 2025.

Yuki Tsunoda will take his place at Red Bull alongside Verstappen from this weekend’s Japanese Grand Pri🐻x.
