BREAKING: “With deep sorrow in my heart, I’d like to announce to you my resignation from Ferrari” Lewis Hamilton says in press conference…

Eric Boullier, former team principal of McLaren and Lotus, has issued a cautionary statement regarding Red Bull Racing’s current situation, highlighting that the team could be trea

ding on dangerous ground. According to Boullier, Red Bull’s extraordinary reliance on Max Verstappen, their star driver and three-time World Champion, is creating a significant vulnerability. Verstappen is now perilously close to a race suspension, and Boullier believes the

team may not be fully prepared to cope without him.Verstappen’s dominance in Formula 1 over the past few seasons has been a crucial factor in Red Bull’s ongoing success

. His unmatched consistency, aggressive driving style, and ability to extract the maximum from the car have solidified his status as the backbone of the team. However, that very aggressiveness has come at a cost. Verstappen is now just one penalty point away from an automatic race ban under the FIA’s disciplinary system, which imposes a one-race suspension on drivers who accumulate twelve penalty points within a twelve-mont

h period.This situation has raised significant alarm bells, particularly among those with deep experience in F1 team management. Boullier, in particular, emphasized that Red Bull’s almost singular dependence on Verstappen could prove catastrophic if the driver is forced to miss a race. In his view, the team has built its strategy, car development, and race execution so tightly around Verstappen’s style and feedback that they may struggle to adapt quickly if he were to be sideline

.“Max is clearly an exceptional talent and Red Bull has capitalized on that perfectly,” Boullier explained. “But when you build so much around one person, you inevitably expose yourself to risk if that person is suddenly out of the picture, even temporarily. The penalty point system is a real threat now. Just one small mistake or controversial incident could see Max sitting out a race, and the question is—can Red Bull still deliver without him?”

Currently, Verstappen’s teammate, Sergio Perez, has had a mixed season with performances that, while competent, have not consistently matched Verstappen’s extraordinary pace. This further compounds Red Bull’s reliance
