Max Verstappen is locked in for another four and a half years with Red Bull, a monumental move hailed by team boss Laurent Mekies as a vote of confidence for the entire sport. With the new regulations throwing Red Bull into a tough season start, securing Verstappen’s future lets them focus on building a winning cycle around him. Meanwhile, Isack Hadjar misses the Dutch GP with a wrist injury, paving the way for Liam Lawson’s return — a well-earned comeback after his strong recent performances. Yuki Tsunoda also gets a chance to race again, rewarded for his patience. Though Red Bull still hasn’t reclaimed dominance, they’ve closed the gap significantly, and Mekies insists any top team can win on a strong weekend.
