Awesome job from Yuki! Put that man in the Red Bull, NOW!!!
Why exactly? It would be like pouring gasoline onto an ongoing fire at the moment. His temper is twice as bad as the Max has.
Is Max afraid of Yuki? I don't think so, then where is the problem? You either have a "not speaking much" ultra ultra slow, error prone old driver or a well past his sell by date driver or a young fast driver with a bit of temperament.
The strategists got too caught up with the pit cycle of the soft-laden cars, which was head scratching. Perez has only one more chance to stay at RBR, and if he doesn’t deliver then Yuki should be promoted. Yuki probably was going to qualify higher than DannyRic if not for his crash on his last attempt and clearly shows more pace, so if anyone else gets promoted to RBR then it’s clear as day that Horner has some serious bias issues that is clouding his judgement.runningmanz wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 17:56Well done Yuki, but an absolutely awful strategy for Dan pitting him after just 7 laps into a DRS train behind Kmag who is in one of the fastest cars in a straight line which ruined his race. Not to mention making him do an extra pitstop. He was faster than Yuki in clean air most of the race as evidenced by also making up over half a pitstop on Yuki before getting blue flags in the last few laps of the race.
Dan was not happy on the radio and Pierre apologised. The team threw away a double points finish today.
Yuki is imho worse than Albon and Gasly and both of those drivers tanked at RedBull, so i really dont think he would be an asset with his fast temper. And he is also very prone for mistakes.
Still better option than the others.proteus wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 18:39Yuki is imho worse than Albon and Gasly and both of those drivers tanked at RedBull, so i really dont think he would be an asset with his fast temper. And he is also very prone for mistakes.
If he would drive as fast as he is ranting on the radio though, he would be ustoppable. Until then he is mediocre driver with flashes of speed.

Yuki is very, very fast, but crashing out of qualifying at critical points in the season is not going to help his cause, RBR already have a driver who does that and don’t need another one.hkbruin wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 20:40If Dan is supposed to be that good to be considered for the RBR seat then he should be mopping the floor with Yuki. The fact that he hasn’t means that Yuki is putting it together much better more consistently. from the outside it looks like Horner is intentionally leaving out Yuki because he feels miffed that Honda decided to leave and their own engine development is probably not coming along as good as hoped.
If Alonso or Hamilton for example who has a lot of experience in F1 was told to pit so early out of the blue they would have questioned it and most likely refused unless a very good reason given. Ric with over 10 years experience in F1 did not question it and refuse to pit so early? Ric went along with a 3 stop strategy on a track that is very difficult to overtake on. I think Ric needs to take some responsibility here.runningmanz wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 17:56Well done Yuki, but an absolutely awful strategy for Dan pitting him after just 7 laps into a DRS train behind Kmag who is in one of the fastest cars in a straight line which ruined his race.

Do we have any information on this tho? I can’t find any team radio for Daniel at all.Mclarensenna wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 01:51If Alonso or Hamilton for example who has a lot of experience in F1 was told to pit so early out of the blue they would have questioned it and most likely refused unless a very good reason given.
