Red Bull mechanic: “If Max wins again this year, he will retire”

2025-06-10 Red Bull mechanic: “If Max wins again this year, he will retire”

Calum Nicholas is not just a simple mechanic, he was a chief mechanic, but he has also become a significant social media figure and recently a brand ambassador. After a long time, he said goodbye to the world of motorsport and F1, but he left us with a nice little gossip...

Which, by the way, would very much align with what Max Verstappen has been saying for years:

"I am firmly convinced that if Max wins the individual world championship again, he will retire at the end of the season. The team is where it is because Max Verstappen's abilities brought it there. Only because of his outstanding skills can Red Bull Racing still be mentioned among the contenders this year. Everything else is nonsense; the cars are the same, they are not exclusively developed for him, as many seem to believe. There is really nothing to see here; the guy is truly that incredibly good a driver, and not just in terms of technical knowledge and talent. I have seen how this driver has evolved into what he is now, someone who can do everything, someone who does everything right. I wouldn’t want to be his teammate." - Calum Nicholas described the expected scenario and Verstappen's class.
