I think it is nice to have him in F1....but just in case Liam matches his performance in Spore...will he keep his seat?
I mean, he was basically the Honda driver RedBull put into the car for Honda. But was this done on contractual or on good will basis?
No idea but it seems if Lawson keeps doing well it could be Yuki on the move to another team given what Bayer has said unless Lawson gets loaned out to another team, however Yuki's contract is up at the end of this year too. Then again if Perez is let go Dan could go to RBR next year. Interesting times ahead-------------------------------------------------------------------Franz Tost Indicates Yuki Tsunoda's Continued Presence in F1 for 2024 Season
Sept 2 2023
Red Bull's second team AlphaTauri is holding a 2024 seat open for Daniel Ricciardo, but his broken hand at Zandvoort has complicated the matter as rookie substitute Liam Lawson is already impressing.
Marko said Australian Ricciardo, 33, is in "good spirits" as he recovers from having some metalwork installed into his damaged hand, even though he will be out for some weeks.
"I definitely see Yuki in the team next year," said departing team boss Franz Tost. "That's more or less already fixed."

Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda will remain with Aston Martin and AlphaTauri respectively next season with
Mike Krack jokingly questioning his driver’s tennis skills while Franz Tost says his driver is “fixed”.
‘Yuki Tsunoda’s future more or less already fixed’
As for Tsunoda, there has been speculation in recent weeks that the Japanese driver’s seat is not as secure as had been thought.
It had pundits suggesting Ricciardo and Lawson could be the team’s 2024 line-up with Tsunoda left out in the cold as Red Bull also don’t consider him to be a candidate for a drive alongside Max Verstappen.
Soon-to-be-retired team boss Franz Tost has denied this, saying: “I definitely see Yuki in the team next year. That’s more or less already fixed.”
That leaves just three seats, that of Tsunoda’s teammate as well as one at Williams and one at Alfa Romeo, unconfirmed.

In conversation with Servus TV, Helmut Marko gives a little more detail about Ricciardo's injury: "It is a complicated case.
There are seven fractures. He is under the supervision of the same doctor who operated on MotoGP rider Marc Marquez.
We think it will take six weeks to recover and we have found a good replacement in Liam Lawson. We don't want to take any risks."
Full quotes here:so far, we’re in a good direction and lap time gain was much more than what I had in Silverstone simulator, so pretty big optimism.
Wow, that’s much worse we’d previously been told.Wouter wrote: ↑14 Sep 2023, 14:23https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F5-owzwXkAA ... name=smallIn conversation with Servus TV, Helmut Marko gives a little more detail about Ricciardo's injury: "It is a complicated case.

Yes you did, but no official sources confirmed your statements.
Oh ye of little faith. Based on the six weeks comments, it’s looking like he’ll be back in Japan or Qatar.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑15 Sep 2023, 03:10Even if Danny boy returns.... how will his performance be judged if it is even possible to do so. Might be too much of risk at this time of the year. I can see them running him in free practices and motoring him for the rest of the year. It is 50/50 if he runs in 2024 at this point.
