Red Bull may postpone the decision on the lineup until Abu Dhabi.

      Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko said that the decision on the line-ups of Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls would be made after the Mexican Grand Prix. However, now the head of the "senior" team Laurent Mekies suggested that the decision might be postponed until the season finale in Abu Dhabi.

      Laurent Mekies: "In qualifying in Mexico Yuki Tsunoda was very close to Max Verstappen. In the second session the gap between them was two tenths. In the race Yuki had a very good first stint on the Medium, in which he was behind Max by two to three tenths. However, at the pit stop we made a slight mistake, and because of that he lost time and the chance to score deserved points.

      Such a performance is one of the reasons why we want to give ourselves more time before making a decision on the line-up. Yuki is progressing, but our other drivers are also taking steps forward. As a result we have no reason to rush, so we will give ourselves a little more time to reflect.

      We understand that everyone would like to hear our decision, but we are not hurrying and will take the necessary time. We want to give the guys as much time as possible to show their best qualities on track. We are fortunate to be free in our choice and will be able to make the decision when it is necessary."
