Red Bull has had tentative preliminary contact with Williams driver Franco Colapinto as the team looks to build a future beyond Sergio Perez. The Austrian team is currently going through a very tricky period where there is a lack of clarity of how it wants to proceed with its driver line-up.
The senior team has both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez on long-term contracts, but it does appear that the future of both those drivers is far from clear. On one side, Verstappen's father Jos has been quite public in his disdain of Christian Horner, and that particular relationship appears to be slightly frosty. On the other hand, Perez himself has performed poorly for a while now.
It appears that Sergio Perez's succession plan is being prepared with young talents like Liam Lawson and Franco Colapinto, who are the ones Red Bull is looking to promote.
