    I also thought the “Checo washed” comments and discussion about his seat being in jeopardy were an overreaction a few weeks ago. At this point though, I’m expecting Redbull to drop him any moment.

      I’m still thinking he’s going to end out his contract, but he’s not getting a new one

        Yeah…if he manages to keep his P2 in championship they are unlikely to drop him this year (and his race pace is good enough to get him into top 3) and i don’t think they would go for Ricardo either…not sure who though… Surely they are starting to think beyond Max, as Max stated he might not stick around in F1 and move to other series.

            Fair, although some suggested aston is focusing on next year already as they want to be winning in a year or two…others think they are stuck like merc…

          Yuki has matured a lot, and next year is as ready as he’s going to get. Either that or they put Lawson/Iwasa up against each other at AT and the winner gets promoted

            Makes sense. I should really pay more attention to. Yuki, hard to judge his performance as de vries is absolutely no where… I am glad Piastri is doing well after the whole alpine fiasco.

      The Red Bull 2nd driver position seems to be cursed.

        Aside from Perez, they’ve only been dragging up drivers with very little experience to fill the seat. The rookies probably need a couple years in Formula 1.5 before graduating to Formula 1. I’d love to see Sainz come back, they way they treat him as second class at Ferrari for no reason is ridiculous.
