Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer emphasized the urgency for new team boss Laurent Mekies to secure Verstappen's future with the team. Speaking on the F1 Nation podcast, Palmer remarked: “There are really big things he needs to address immediately, and the driver line-up is obviously one of them.” “And Max Verstappen's contract and all the rumours, falls in the same time as Christian is ousted from the team. So I think that's one thing that Laurent, with the hierarchy of Red Bull, needs to try and knuckle down. Can they keep their star driver? Because Max, at the moment, seems to be the glue that's just holding this whole team together right now.” — Palmer further noted Verstappen's pivotal role in the team despite significant changes in management, including the departure of key figures: “If you take out Max from Red Bull… They've lost all the old management – Helmut Marko is still there in an advisory capacity – but a lot of the race team have gone from senior positions, yet Max is still able to deliver pole position at Silverstone. He's still able to direct the team.” “GP [Gianpiero Lambiase, Red Bull's head of racing and Verstappen's race engineer] is obviously now going to be a central figure as well, who's got a great relationship with Max.” — Palmer pointed out the need for Mekies to address the second driver's performance, drawing on his experience with drivers like Yuki Tsunoda: “But, the other driver is a big question mark as well, and that's where Laurent has got some great experience working with Yuki Tsunoda before, and others, to try and sort out what's going on there. But the whole dynamic of the drivers is probably his first thing to try and get on top of.” #maxverstappen 🇳🇱 #redbullracing 🇦🇹 #formula1 #f12025 VIA: [PLANET F1]  XXX engagements  **Related Topics** [red bull](/topic/red-bull) [f1](/topic/f1) [red bull racing](/topic/red-bull-racing) [max verstappen](/topic/max-verstappen) [formula 1](/topic/formula-1) [Post Link](https://x.com/ThisIsFormu1a1/status/1947148375851462846)
