Verstappen.com Racing secures the Sprint Cup Gold Cup title in Valencia.
We had only one goal when we entered the circuit, says Vermeulen. We had a trouble‑free race, but also a boring race, he adds. Lulham’s launch created immediate margin.
The result reflects operational discipline from a young crew aligned with Emil Frey Racing, whose support structure underpins preparation, pit work, and reliability.
Vermeulen thanks both organisations for the backing. Lulham admits the title felt unlikely at season start, underscoring the programme’s development curve. I am super happy!
“We had only one goal when we entered the circuit.” — Thierry Vermeulen
For Verstappen, the Sprint Cup success validates his management bandwidth within a multi‑series programme, strengthening pathways across the wider types of motorsports ecosystem.
On track, Verstappen dominates in Baku, taking pole, fastest lap, and leading every lap for a sixth career grand chelem on the street circuit.
Sixth grand chelem in Baku underlines Verstappen’s pace and execution.
He sits third in the 2025 standings on 255 points, behind Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, with Red Bull evolving its package for present gains and its 2026 programme plans.
The title fight compresses behind McLaren, with Mercedes and Ferrari influencing strategy windows and tyre offsets. Execution under pressure remains decisive as venues and conditions vary.
A busy run through Singapore and the United States tests resources and planning. Verstappen’s dual role is proven, aligning ambition with broader motorsport industry trends across teams.
