Sebastian Vettel has advised 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and Red Bull to♑ “stick together” amid their inconsistent start to the 2025 F1 season.

After five rounds, Verstappen sits just 12 points behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri in the F1 drivers’ championship.

The Dutchman narrowly mi✤ssed out on a second win of the ܫseason last time out in Saudi Arabia.

Verstappen starred in qualifying, taking pole position, before finishing sec꧒ond in the race.

Verstappen ultimately lost the race af𒉰ter receiving a five-second time penalty for going off the track when trying to keep the position when battling Piastri on Lap 1.

Even though Verstappen is in F1 title ꦗcontention, his future 💯has been a hot topic.

Verstappen has been heavily linked with a move♉ to Aston Martin, while Mercedes expressed serious interest in him last year as they looked for a Lewis Hamilton replacement.

Vettel, who faced a similar dilemma in 2014 at Red Bull, offered his view on Ve☂rs♛tappen’s future.

“I think it’s 🐲the time when you really bond. It’s the time, after so many years, you are so close to each other,” Vettel told Sky Sports in Saudi Arabia.

“Some people left and some people came, but whether you win championships🅠 or not is happening anyways, it’s the nature of F1.

“But now is tꦡhe time where you stick together and you have the ch🐭ance to bounce back.”

2025 “a decisive year” for Verstappen

Vettel praised Verst🔯appen,🧜 describing him as “the strongest at the moment” on the 2025 F1 grid.

While Red Bull have generally been behi𝓡nd McLaren in performance terms over the last year, no other driver has won m𒉰ore races than Verstappen in the last 12 months.

“Max has incredible talent, he has matured so much over the last couple of years,” Vetteꦉl explained.

“I think the way he’s constructing his races now is different to the past. It’s m🌌uch smarter. The progression he’s made, it's not the lap time or total performance.

“It’s more the consistency, the reliability that he’s there every time. The time he’s taking sometimes to do the move, waiting for when it’s the right time to wait. He se🤪es the race in front, the opportunities he gets. If he doesn’t🐻 get the opportunity, then he’s back to the aggression.

“He has very good control of himself, and that makes him the strongest at the moment in the gridꦍ.

“Mixing those t𒆙wo, the aggression and the experience, together with the natural speed. it’s great to watch and obviously a decisive year for him.”
