Bernie Collins and Ted Kravitz are the latest guests on the Sky Sports F1 Podcast as they discuss Max Verstappen’s future at Red Bull and analyse the evolution of the 2025 grid.
Along with host Matt Baker, the trio look at how the 2025 grid is shaping up after Red Bull decided to hand Sergio Perez a new contract, before their sister team RB took up an option to extend Yuki Tsunoda’s deal by a further year.
The biggest question remaining for 2025 is where Carlos Sainz will end up with Lewis Hamilton taking his seat at Ferrari.
The initial team reportedly looking to sign Sainz was Sauber, which will become Audi’s factory team in 2026, with the German manufacturer keen to have Sainz as its lead driver.
However, Williams are also said to be interested, with Sainz’s choice becoming a real key to how the grid looks next season.

Baker, Kravitz and Collins also look at Verstappen’s career trajectory. The reigning world champion is signed to Red Bull until 2028, but Kravitz and Collins wonder whether he’ll see out his contract, leave early or make a surprise Hamilton-style move once his deal is up.
The trio also discuss what the 2026 regulation changes will look like for teams and their cars.
