Max Verstappen will have his third different team mate in four rounds next weekend after Red Bull’s extraordinary announcement this week.
Having replaced Sergio Perez with Liam Lawson for the new season, now they’ve brought Yuki Tsunoda in to replace him.
All of that lay in the future when this Red Bull family photograph was taken at the Mexican Grand Prix last year. Can you come up with the best caption for this picture?

Max drew the short straw and had to stand next to Marko. Christian ain’t looking too hot either.

I’m not sure borrowing one of Ginger Spices costumes helps. Helmut, in the middle, looks like he’s the soul of the party.

“Equipo de los Muertos”
That’s the obvious one, given the day that’s in it (both the photo and what has been happening).
Still hope to see Liam back in a Red Bull. Won’t hold my breath, though.

So, after the next two race, we’ll get to see the first female F1 driver since ages.
Unless she beats Max, she’ll be replaced after yet another two races, despite her butterfly racing suit and special helmet.

I love the dead before they’re cold
Their bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see…Nothing…
I love the dead before they rise
No farwells, No goodbyes
I never even knew your rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, Darling!

New drivers now only dare to join Red Bull’s young driver programme incognito and are only willing to drive RB in Stig mode.
