Christian Horner, Red Bull’s team principal, seems cautious about bringing in another dominant driver like Fernando Alonso alongside Max Verstappen. Rumors have been circulating that Alonso might replace Sergio Perez, whose contract with Red Bull goes until the end of next season.
Perez’s recent performance, especially his Fernando Alonsoclash with Charles Leclerc at the Mexican Grand Prix, has raised doubts about his future with the team. Meanwhile, Alonso, currently with Aston Martin, is amidst speculation about a possible move as the team struggles with their performance.
Horner believes in maintaining a balanced team dynamic. He stresses that having two highly aggressive drivers like Verstappen and Alonso could disrupt team harmony. Horner told Sky Sports that two extremely dominant drivers in a team could cause internal conflicts, emphasizing the importance of achieving the right balance for a productive team.
As the Brazilian Grand Prix approaches, the rumors are heating up. Whether Alonso will make a switch or not remains to be seen, but it seems Red Bull is carefully considering its next steps.
