Red Bull is reportedly considering GT3 sensation Franz Hermann as Verstappen’s teammate in 2026, citing “raw pace” and “remarkable chemistry with Max.”

Despite looking, sounding, and driving exactly like Verstappen, the team insists Hermann is a separate and promising young German talent.

“Franz brings everything we want in a number two,” Horner stated. “He’s quick, fearless, and best of all, Max already trusts him completely.”

Max declined to comment, though sources confirmed both men have never been seen in the same room.
