Our verdict on Red Bull dysfunction, Verstappen to Aston and early F1 2025 predictions

How different would Daniel Ricciardo’s F1 career be had he not left Red Bull at the end of 2018, or joined Ferrari instead of McLaren when Sebastian Vettel moved to Aston Martin in 2021?
This is just one of the many topics addressed in our latest ‘you ask the questions’ video, featuring Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm and host Ben Anderson.
We asked members of our YouTube Community to submit their F1 questions to our panel while F1 is on its extended autumn hiatus.
As well as Ricciardo's career, F1 prospects and the futures of the drivers he left behind at Red Bull, our panel tackles infighting at the highest levels of that team, whether Max Verstappen might be lured away by an Adrian Newey inspired Aston Martin-Honda project, the emerging intra-team McLaren rivalry between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, and some early 2025 predictions.
