2024 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

Helmut Marko,Christian Horner you are reading this right.
Red Bull made a mistake in promoting Liam, he who would have taken out Perez and Yuki in their own home races.

Liam doesn't deserve a potential racing winning Honda powered car, Yuki does. I hope the self destruct button on the Honda PUs work every time.

Lawson is yet to sharpen his skills, because that can come only from real life experience. Yuki has had more than enough 'soak time' in F1 (thanks to Honda) that his skill level has plateau-ed already. If Lawson finishes behind Yuki for the remaining 6 races, and for that reason alone isn't given the RedBull seat, it wouldn't be a fair assessment, because if just after half a season Lawson is suddenly driving better than Yuki, he would be wasted in the VCARB, where he could have served better in a faster Redbull instead.

I posted this slightly more than 2 months ago ; and promptly drew a lot of flak in this thread.
Now I feel vindicated. Lawson is 'raw enough' to be moulded into a 'leading pack' driver. He has that 'I wont let you pass easily' mindset already, it's natural to him. He can become 'polished' in 2025, because as far as RedBull are concerned, this is the 'gap year' before the real competition begins in 2026. That is exactly what a team like Redbull wants for the 2nd seat - a guy who will be thankful to be given the seat, a guy who will not demand anything above 2nd driver status (atleast for a few years anyway), and a guy whose 'faults' in his driving style are not set in concrete yet, and can be 'unlearned'.

As if Horner and co look at this forum, other than an intern looking for possible leaks.

Honda are not in the business of making the brand look bad by making Power Units blow up. It's clear Yuki will likely never race for Redbull. Not unless events take a different turn.

Yuki was never going to get the seat as long as Horner is boss. Yuki is at the junior team just to please Honda just enough.
Yuki will most likely will be replaced when Honda leaves RB in 2026.

The negative yin yang here really isn't a good look.

Move on

You’d be surprised… There was once actually a camera shot of someone sitting on a pit wall with the F1 technical forum page open on a Computer screen

They didn’t choose Yuki because could you imagine Max and Yuki on the radio with how much they both swear? The FIA would have sent them on community service so much that they won’t have time to race lol

I don't believe the FIA has an issue with drivers swearing on the team radio. They bleep it out and, frankly, if they had an issue with it, simply don't broadcast that radio clip.
