Are Max Verstappen & Red Bull 'UNDERDOGS' In 2025?!

Could 2025 be the year that Max Verstappen's era of dominance come to end? That is the question that we try to answer in this episode. We talk how Red Bull unraveled from their dominance in 2024 which exposed them as a brilliant team, but not an unbeatable one. We discuss how Max could once again be the difference maker in 2025 if Red Bull once again find themselves without the fastest car. We also discuss the impact of replacing Sergio Perez with Liam Lawson in the Red Bull 2nd seat, and why perhaps they were wrong to once again ignore Yuki Tsunoda's credentials.
