Red Bull has insisted that the team hasn’t adopted a “defeatist” approach towards the F1 title in 2025, despite a scheduled meeting about the gap to McLaren.

    It’s been quite close a couple of times. Keke Rosberg famously won only a single race when he got his championship, and Kimi Räikkönen was only 2 points away from doing the same in 2003.

      I fuckin miss Kimi. Max is slowly turning into him, but I don’t know if anyone else will ever be able to reach Kimi levels of not giving a shit ever again.

      I hope Robin does well and we can have another Räikkönen in the paddock one day.

        Yeah same. Kimi is my favorite driver, even though I think it’s pretty clear his levels of not giving a shit got in the way of him realizing his true potential. But you know what? I don’t think he gives a shit about that either.

        I don’t really get the same energy from Max, personally, but I get what you mean in a sense. I actually think I get more Kimi vibes from Oscar, though? He’s definitely got the unfazed-ness down, even if he’s a little too media friendly to be a true heir.

        I think Robin is doing pretty well in karting thus far so it’s looking promising. Still a couple of years away from getting a shot in single seaters though.
