Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher said that Red Bull Racing is considering Fernando Alonso for 2025, according to his information. A similar move could be possible if Max Verstappen decides to change teams at the end of the season.
“Not only Max, but also the team is thinking about alternative options, and now there are completely new rumors,” Ralf Schumacher told Germany’s Sky. – Christian Horner has always been a big fan of Fernando Alonso. There are plans to put Fernando behind the wheel next year, so that there will be a strong driver in the team when Max Verstappen leaves.
It is clear that Fernando would like to move to Red Bull at the end of his career because he has a car with which he can win. This weekend he showed again how fast he is and did not let George Russell overtake him. I think Fernando knows what he wants and that the Red Bull option suits him perfectly.”
Ralf Schumacher thinks Verstappen could move to Mercedes to replace Lewis Hamilton: “Max speaks German, and Mercedes will be a very good alternative for him. He will fit into the team perfectly, but no decisions have been made yet.
In theory, Max should be the first to be released from his Red Bull contract, just like Helmut Marko, as his contract is clearly linked to Max’s. I don’t think Red Bull will stand in his way if he wants to leave.”
