A poll was conducted to vote on Max Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate for 2025, and the fans made a bold and clear choice.
A poll was conducted asking readers who should join Max Verstappen at Red Bull in 2025, and the overwhelming favorite was Yuki Tsunoda. Voters were given four options: current teammate Sergio Perez, Carlos Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo, and Tsunoda. The results were clear: fans want Tsunoda.
Despite Red Bull’s inclination to extend Perez’s contract for a fifth season, his recent underwhelming performances at Imola and Monaco, where he managed only four points, have put his future in question. Red Bull has emphasized the need for Perez to improve, especially with increased competition from McLaren and Ferrari. However, it appears likely that Perez will remain Verstappen’s teammate for the next season.
On the other hand, Tsunoda has been impressive this season, significantly outshining his teammate Daniel Ricciardo. Tsunoda has scored 18 points, including two seventh-place finishes in Australia and Miami, while Ricciardo has yet to score any. Despite Tsunoda’s strong performance and his current 10th place in the Drivers’ standings, Red Bull does not seem inclined to favor him for a future seat. Tsunoda may need to look for opportunities elsewhere if he wishes to move up from Red Bull.
As fans eagerly await Red Bull’s final decision, Tsunoda’s strong showing this season makes him a fan favorite and a driver to watch.
