Red Bull Racing 2024 season review: Verstappen's future in question

Red Bull's season review is really a reckoning — a team that dominated so completely now being measured against its own standard, and falling short in ways that matter contractually as much as competitively. Verstappen's future becoming a live question is the direct consequence of the car losing its edge; a driver of his standing doesn't stay where the machinery can't match his ambition. What the review likely lays bare is whether the team's struggles are a correctable dip or something more structural, because that distinction is exactly what shapes a driver's decision-making. The fact that this conversation is happening at all tells you how much the competitive order shifted across the season.
