On one hand, I can’t wait for his empire to crumble and on another hand, I don’t want to see this many Elon/X/Tesla links about something so seemingly useless.

That collision looks more like a racing incident but a time penalty AND 2 penalty points is way too harsh… especially under wet conditions. Stewards have to really get their shit together.

Stop, stop! De Vries is already dead!

Enjoy your M2 for what you’re using it for but you’ll have to accept that you’ll never be able to keep up.

With that said, my M1 is still way more than I need.

The fact that he’s stayed 2nd in the championship shows how dominant the Red Bull was in the beginning of the season and how dominant it still is. One thing for sure is that he’s not meeting his targets in qualifying or races. Which is either pole position/winning or being runner up. Top 6 is not where his Red Bull should be. It should be in the top 2. By being in the top 6, he’s letting Aston, Ferrari, and Mercedes pick up constructor points.

You have to evaluate his performance against his past performance this season. If he’s capable of pole positions and race wins in 2023, why is he missing out on Q3 and finishing in the Top 6?

Checo is not performing well at the moment.

I thought he was a Mercedes Jr. during his F3 career… but maybe I’m remembering wrong.

Sainz got snubbed for the Red Bull seat even though he felt he out performed Max. Red Bull loaned him to Renault and once he was there, Sainz tried to make the move permanent. I just remembered that at the time, RB did not want to let Sainz off the RB team.

No way RB puts another outside driver in the seat. Marko even said that Mateschitz threatened to pull funding for RB Junior if Perez gets the seat because all RB drivers are supposed to come in from RBJ (he gave in, obviously).

Sainz - He worked like hell to get out of RB. Even if it was an option, I can’t see him going back to be a second driver behind Max. We already see how much he hates being deprioritized behind Leclerc.

Hulk - He’s a Mercedes Jr, never had backing from Red Bull. I can’t see this happening.

Ricciardo - Maybe for a short stint to cover Perez if he gets dropped. I can’t see him staying long term.

My hot take is that Yuki is pretty much set to take the second RB seat pending Perez’s overall performance. If Perez continues to be abysmal, I’m sure that RB will drop him using a performance clause in his contract.

Everyone likes to rag on Yuki but since Gasly has left, Yuki stepped out tremendously. Not to mention that he’s been dragging that shit box to mid-field a handful of times. Helmut Marko even commented on Yuki’s performance and Marko never compliments anyone unless you’re Max and Vettel.

De Vries is going to get dropped to make way for Liam Lawson.

RB/AT seats is going to make silly season fun.
