5 reasons why Ricciardo's Renault move is good for F1

#3 Does Max get to be the main driver at Red Bull?

Surely, Max is not 'wingman' material at Red Bull

It's interesting that how a single move spells multiple possibilities for the rest. With Ricciardo confirmed to drive for the French team starting 2019, one wonders what might happen inside the Red Bull garage?

While multiple rumours have already started doing the rounds, rumour-mongers going as far as suggesting Kimi might join the Christian Horner-led outfit, there's a great possibility to find Max being the team's mainstay.

With Ricciardo no longer being part of the racing marquee, there's hardly a doubt regarding who the focal point of attention is at Infinity Red Bull Racing.

It's that man often hailed as "Mad Max." Interestingly, Verstappen has demonstrated a penchant for stellar improvement ever since the forgettable Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where a controversial collision, arguably caused by the Dutchman in Lap 40, ended the race for him and his current teammate.

Having had an incredible win under his belt, his maiden win at the Red Bull Ring at Spielberg, Verstappen's confidence is on an all-time high. He'd want to demonstrate to his team that he's capable of mounting an impressive comeback at Spa-Francorchamps, once racing resumes after the mid-season break. A strong finish at a track where he gets great support, the "Orange Army" filling in the grandstands will also work wonders for his confidence.
