Red Bull has confirmed that discussions have taken place between their representatives and the Irish teenager, Alex Dunne, regarding a potential future role within their Formula One structure.
The 19-year-old is currently competing in the Formula Two standings and is positioned fifth overall with two race weekends remaining in the 2025 season.
The confirmation of talks is significant given that Dunne’s contract as a junior driver was terminated ahead of the current season, but his performance on the track has clearly captured the attention of the Red Bull hierarchy.
Red Bull’s interest is part of the ongoing movement of talent within F1, with teams continually eyeing exciting prospects for future seats.
The talks confirm the Irish teenager is a serious contender on the radar of one of the sport's top teams, despite the earlier termination of his junior contract.
Red Bull has a strong reputation for developing and promoting young talent, and Dunne’s speed and consistency in Formula Two have clearly marked him as a driver with high potential.
His rise comes amid other movements within the F1 sphere, including former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner’s search for a new role across the paddock.
