Max Verstappen is one penalty point away from being handed a one-race suspension by the FIA and Red Bull have decided to apply for a superlicense for their young star

Helmut Marko has written off Red Bull's hopes of winning the Constructors' Championship title in a worrying sign for Max Verstappen. It has been a difficult campaign for the six-time champions, who have slipped down the order with McLaren steaming ahead of the chasing pack.

Verstappen is not looking like he is going to be able to challenge for the drivers' championship this year either, with Red Bull's lack of pace seeing the Dutchman fall 49 points behind standings leader Oscar Piastri after the first nine rounds of the season.
