If Yuki signs for next season then one of Daniel or Perez are finished at the end of the year, as surely Lawson will come into AT for 2024 after winning SF?

I doubt it. Lawson will be sidelined again.

Would hate to see Lawson sidelined in 2024 just because all 3 of the other drivers, Yuki, Daniel and Checo are neither Wold Champion material, nor bad enough to be tossed aside.

Something has got to give.
I expect no contract announcements anytime soon. They need to evaluate all four of them further.

Marko and Horner reiterated that Perez's seat is safe through the end of his contract.

Horner also said that Ricciardo's aim would be making an impression for a RB seat in '25 and in the meantime, helping to rebuild AT from the inside.

Tsunoda now rumored be signing a contract again and they are happy with him.

I just don't see an angle for Lawson unless Perez implodes after the break.

[ME4ME]

Well obviously they'll say Perez his seat is save untill the day it isn't.

Ricciardo can have whatever aim he wants - he still has to prove himself against Yuki.
Same goes for Yuki against Daniel.

I just doubt there will be any announchements. There is no real reason to sign Yuki anytime soon.

Personally I do think the log jam will be resolved towards the end of the season with Perez ultimately being let go. But we'll see.

Tsunoda's place at AT will remain as long as Honda remains. His contracts are a formality.

His drive is the lubrication for the RB-Honda PU.

[ME4ME]

Doubt that. Honda will honor their deal with Red Bull but is fully commited to Aston Martin now. No need to please Honda further. Like I said I think it's not done and dusted and all of them have to earn their seat.

Any chance Lawson replaces Sargeant at William Red Bull for 2024?

[djos]

It wouldn’t be the first time RedBull has lent a junior driver to another team. Eg Daniel to HRT

[organic]

I don't see them replacing a junior from their own junior program with a rb junior. If they were planning on RB engines from 2026 then seems more likely, but I don't think that's in the works

Michael Italiano, who used to be Ricciardo's coach talks about the different way of training.
Ricciardo now trains alone during the week and with Pyry Salmela at weekends.

That second interview snippet was a hoot!

How people like to detract from a pilot just because he has a relationship with a company.

Yuki is doing very well, and that is what is said in the paddock

It's not an attempt to detract from his performances. He's good enough to be on the grid. Both things can be true.

De Vries reveals next move after F1 exit
Today, 09:40

The Dutchman left AlphaTauri ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Speaking to RacingNews365 at the Dutch premiere of the new Gran Turismo film and when asked if his dismissal ahead of
the Hungarian Grand Prix was tough to take, de Vries replied: "Actually not.

"I had a lot of support and it actually went very naturally. I've been playing a lot of golf since then."

Whilst there will be no rush to return to racing following the end to his short stint in F1, his experience in Formula E and endurance racing will likely endear de Vries to new projects.

But revealing his next immediate steps, he explained: "I've never studied before in my life, in fact, I didn't even finish high school.

"But in September I'm going to take a course at Harvard. Negotiation and Leadership, a little bit of studying.
More because I just like it now that I have some time and the interest to learn other things."
