How Red Bull's 2025 season has played out so far

Red Bull faces a challenging 2025 season, currently fourth in the Constructors' standings, a significant 365 points behind McLaren. Despite Max Verstappen's continued brilliance, including victories in Japan and Imola, the team struggles with inconsistent car performance and a lack of reliable points from the second seat, currently occupied by Yuki Tsunoda after Liam Lawson's early demotion. Adding to the changes, Laurent Mekies took over as Team Principal from Christian Horner in July. While Verstappen has committed his future to Red Bull, the team's priority is to rediscover their championship-winning form for 2026 and resolve the ongoing second driver dilemma, as Tsunoda strives to prove his worth.
