Brundle: At Red Bull they are currently deciding whether to take the risk.

      Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sport F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes the decision on who will be Max Verstappen’s teammate next year will not be an easy one…

      Martin Brundle: "Yuki had a chance to stay, but obviously Honda is distancing itself from Red Bull, and the team needs to look to the future.

      The problem is that next year we face such radical changes to power units and chassis, the biggest in the history of Formula 1, that experience and knowledge will be needed to work with them. And in this situation, in my opinion, a more suitable option for Red Bull Racing could be Liam Lawson.

      They shouldn't rush to call Isack Hadjar up to the main team. He should spend another year in the second team to gain experience; then there's a better chance he can fulfil his potential in a top team.

      Inviting Arvid Lindblad to Formula 1, who turned 18 in August, is another potentially risky step for Red Bull. Lindblad is very good, but isn't it too early? Of course they'll answer: 'We bring young guys into Formula 1, and if they are as good as Verstappen and Vettel, they'll cope.'

      I suppose there are heated discussions at Red Bull right now about whether it's worth the risk of promoting Hadjar to the main team and Lindblad to the Racing Bulls."
