Why time is running out on Red Bull's "big goal" for Verstappen
Red Bull promoted Max Verstappen to the upper echelons of Formula 1 with the target of making him the category's youngest ever world champion. But as he gets ready to turn 23, time is short to complete the mission
Six months ago - in what now seems like a different world, almost a different life - Max Verstappen and Christian Horner sat in Red Bull's trendy UK headquarters in London's Covent Garden and talked up their chances for the new season.
Horner described Red Bull being "in a position to challenge Mercedes"; Verstappen said: "We really want to mount a challenge to Mercedes and I think we can do that." Now, in a championship and world turned upside down by coronavirus, Red Bull's prospects look very different.
