The anticipation for the 2025 Formula 1 season is already heating up, with speculations swirling around Red Bull’s potential lineup.
Ex-F1 team owner, Eddie Jordan, has thrown a curveball into the mix, suggesting that Red Bull re-sign Alex Albon to team up with the current world champion Max Verstappen.
As the talks intensify about who will share the track with Verstappen in 2025, Sergio Pérez finds himself at a pivotal juncture. With his contract expiring at the end of 2024 and a string of performances under scrutiny, Pérez faces the heat to retain his seat.
A Seat in Jeopardy?
Whispers in the racing community suggest that Red Bull might be exploring other options.
Daniel Ricciardo, eager for another chance at Red Bull, is patiently waiting for the call. Despite an impressive return to F1 with AlphaTauri, the spotlight remains on whether he can outshine the competition.
Amidst the contenders, Alex Albon emerges as a surprising prospect. Having raced for Red Bull in 2019 and 2020, Albon faced setbacks but has since impressed with Williams. Jordan, speaking on the Formula for Success podcast, believes Albon deserves another shot.
Jordan’s Call
Eddie Jordan, expressing a soft spot for Albon, envisions a powerful duo with Max Verstappen. Despite Albon’s previous departure after a challenging season, Jordan sees potential, especially given the right circumstances.
“I have a real soft spot for Albon. I just think that given the right situations I think he could really, really be mustard. I would like to see at some stage that he be given the chance alongside Max because I think he might be a big surprise.”

As the racing world holds its breath, the question of who will share the cockpit with Verstappen in 2025 remains unanswered.
Will it be Perez proving his mettle, Ricciardo making a triumphant return or Albon seizing a redemption opportunity?
