Red Bull se equivocó al prescindir de Lawson en 2025 — Verstappen

      Estás arruinando esa oportunidad en un equipo de primer nivel

      Max Verstappen dice que Red Bull Racing actuó demasiado pronto al apartar a Liam Lawson tras apenas dos carreras al inicio de la temporada 2025.

      "Dos carreras para un compañero de equipo, por supuesto no estuve de acuerdo con eso en su momento", dijo el cuádruple campeón mundial a Viaplay.

      Lawson —entonces aún novato— había sido ascendido al equipo titular para reemplazar a Sergio Pérez, pero fue rápidamente devuelto a Racing Bulls debido a la forma en que tuvo dificultades en Australia y China.

      Verstappen continuó: "Porque, en última instancia, alguien está renunciando a su oportunidad. Entonces estás arruinando esa oportunidad en un equipo de primer nivel", añadió.

      "Tengo que decir que Liam lo ha hecho bien en Racing Bulls. También podrías decir, 'Déjalo pasar, ya no me importa', pero dos carreras son demasiado pronto para tomar una decisión. Al final, Yuki (Tsunoda) entró, y eso muestra lo difícil que fue."

      Mientras que Tsunoda ha sido descartado por completo, Lawson permanecerá con Racing Bulls en 2026 y ha acogido con agrado la oportunidad de una preparación completa durante el invierno.

      Con Christian Horner y ahora también el Dr. Helmut Marko fuera, el CEO de Red Bull, Oliver Mintzlaff, dice que la familia de Red Bull en la F1 ahora está bien posicionada en el frente de los pilotos.

      "Dos pilotos jóvenes en el equipo de talento", dijo, refiriéndose a Lawson y al novato Arvid Lindblad en Racing Bulls para 2026. "Isack Hadjar obtiene una oportunidad junto a Max", añadió Mintzlaf.

      "Esto le conviene a Red Bull: encontramos los mejores talentos para las mejores posiciones. Creo que, en general, lo hemos hecho bastante bien en eso en los últimos 21 años."

It appears that car prices continue to increase, yet one legendary roadster has quietly become more affordable than ever when considering inflation. According to reports, the prices of the NA and NB generations now exceed $39,000 when adjusted for inflation, while the ND generation remains the least expensive option when adjusted. It's well-known that car prices typically don't decrease, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata has certainly followed this trend. When the Miata debuted in 1989 as a 1990 model, it had a starting price of $13,800. Today, purchasing a new model will set you back at least $29,830. Upon closer examination, however, the data suggests a different narrative. A recent study indicates that when adjusted for inflation, the cost of owning a Miata has actually declined over time. Analysis of historical pricing shows that during the NA generation's presence in the U.S. from 1989 to 1997, the price increased gradually from $13,800 to $19,125. The second-generation NB was introduced in 1998 and carried the model into the early 2000s, ultimately reaching a price of $22,098 before transitioning to the NC. The NC started with a base price of $20,435 and concluded its production years at $25,595. Similarly, the current fourth-generation ND began at $25,735 in 2015, with prices rising since then. Nevertheless, when Hagerty adjusted the base price for inflation, it became clear that Miata prices have varied significantly. When adjusted for inflation, the costs of the NA and NB generations exceed $39,000 in today's currency. In contrast, the NC ranges between $32,000 and $36,000, depending on the model year and inflation rates. The latest ND generation is significantly more affordable and has been cheaper than all preceding Miata models in real terms since 2022. This is quite surprising, especially considering that many enthusiasts regard the current ND as the best Miata ever produced. To gain a clearer understanding beyond Hagerty's statistics, we created our own list of original Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRPs) and adjusted them using the official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator. Using the introductory price from the actual debut production year of each generation (not the model year), we adjusted everything to reflect November 2025 dollars. The resulting table facilitates a more straightforward comparison of how the real-world cost of the base model has evolved. What's on the horizon for the MX-5? Mazda is reportedly developing a new generation of the Miata, expected to launch in 2027. Although official information is limited, early reports indicate it will be equipped with the company’s 2.5-liter SkyActiv Z engine, likely producing just over 200 horsepower. Additionally, an interesting aspect is Mazda's target weight. The company aims to keep the next-generation vehicle under 2,205 pounds (1,000 kg), making it lighter than the current ND. It remains to be seen if they can achieve this goal while maintaining the price.
