It seems like it's now a race between Liam and
Yuki for 2025 Red Bull seat. With Sauber having locked Bottas, they have few young drivers available to hire next year. Hadjar, Colapinto and Bartoleto. If Liam or
Yuki moves to Red Bull, then one of these three would be target for VCARB.
With Oscar's rise and Ollie and Colapinto having demonstrated how ready the new breed is and with so many new drivers joining the grid next year, Red Bull is now forced to test their bench strength.
I absolutely agree with the last sentence.
But I am not sure if it is only
Yuki vs. Liam. I think the
Yuki case is closed...so either Liam excels and has a real chance to replace Perez, maybe mid season...or RedBull will hunt a top driver from other teams.
redbull does not want a quick driver next to Max the whole thing is a farce .we have to pretend like no one qualify for that seat .
yuki has warrant enough to legitimately earn that seat.
yuki can be fast as max in his tracks the kind of tracks with 90 degree turns that suit his style.redbull are looking for a subservient no 2 and they have that in perez and his money.liam is being put in car because that what his contract demand ,decisions that were made long time ago .ric was never part of long term. He was tasked with assessing
yuki who got his contract for 2025.if
yuki not in their plans they would have let him go to sauber , so the real question is what longterm plan do redbull have for
yuki.
