BBC F1 Expert: Max Verstappen Likely to Oppose Carlos Sainz Red Bull Arrival

BBC F1 commentator Harry Benjamin suggests that Max Verstappen would not welcome drivers like Carlos Sainz joining the Red Bull team as he believes Verstappen holds significant influence within the team and wouldn’t want potential rivals as teammates. Benjamin highlights Verstappen strong position within Red Bull and doubts whether the team would risk upsetting their star driver by signing another top-tier driver like Sainz or Fernando Alonso.

Benjamin argues that Verstappen dominance within the team, coupled with his and his father Jos Verstappen influence, would likely prevent Red Bull from considering such signings. Verstappen, currently pursuing his fourth consecutive World Championship in F1 2024 is seen as the central figure around whom Red Bull revolves making it unlikely for them to introduce potential challengers into the team.
