    Well yeah but what’s the alternative for Red Bull? Danny Ric ain’t it so far. Liam won’t get a chance yet.

    If it was up to me, I’d ditch Perez and get Sainz on board. Then the RB team can focus on getting a better car so that they can actually nurture talent.

      Sainz is either going to Mercedes or Redbull. And my money is on Redbull.

      Hate to say it, but hopefully they replace Ricciardo with Lawson at RB.

      Given he’s already partnered with Max for a season or so it’d be good to see him there.

    I honestly don’t know what more Tsunoda can do? When the AlphaTauri was quick, he was quick but inconsistent. Now they’re slow but he’s often put his car in positions it’s had no right to be. He’s humbled de Vries and Ricciardo who are both much older. Sure de Vries was a rookie but he had at least had years of experience around Formula One.

      Lawson did run away from Tsunoda during his RB stint. Lawson is the better option than both Daniel and Yuki, put him in for a longer duration and see what they have in him.

        Lawson did run away from Tsunoda during his RB stint.

        Stop twisting facts. Lawson did no such thing. Tsunoda was impeded and crashed into in the Singapore weekend by both red bulls. In suzuka, tsunoda out qualified Lawson handsomely, then had a bad start and ended up scraping with Lawson the whole race. Lawson was impressively close to Yuki but nowhere near beating him

        Edit - don’t even get me started on zandovoort where Yuki was driving great and in the points in that dog of an alpha tauri before getting fucked by the masterminds at AT

    At this point Marko and red bull are just dangling the RBR seat in front of tsunoda to keep him motivated while having no intention of ever giving him that seat. Has Yuki even driven the red bull till now. Because the other drivers from the RB academy have

    If I were Red Bull I would go with Sainz next to Max and Lawson next to Yuki next year. I like both Perez and Ricciardo, but both are slower than their team mates by quite a margin, so I don’t think Red Bull will keep them around much longer. Sainz has proven himself by aging like a fine wine and is at the age where you hit peak performance and Liam has proven to be quick as hell last year.
