Red Bull Racing is the current dominant team in Formula 1, having broken multiple records just this year with their star driver, Max Verstappen. However, they have a long history of creating a very toxic environment for their second drivers, with multiple instances of sub-optimal strategy, unwarranted pressure, threats of breaking contracts, demotion, and blatant favoritism. There are multiple drivers on the grid who have been subject to this treatment and have switched teams. Rumor has it that the next driver to be scouted to be Red Bull's second is Lando Norris, a driver from McLaren with an above-average career track. A former second driver has warned Lando against taking the seat.
