What?

LOL, as in Laughing over Lawson. He thought he was hot @#$% last year and flipped off Checo when passing. Now he's finding how hard that 2nd Red Bull seat is to conquer. Sucks to be last.

Tsunoda just gets the job done.
Lawson should know what pressure feels like now. At the moment, he is not handling it well at all. I would not be surprised if WPOZZ’s prediction is correct. Liam has a bunch of growing up to do real fast.

Liam, this is Christian, box please.
I could never understand why Horner chose Lawson to promote to Red Bull.

Perez must be laughing his tail off right about now.
I believe Antonelli is the surprise rookie performer so far. |

Liam is in over his head at the moment . To be Max's teammate you need talent and nerves of steel . Right now I think Liam's nerves are getting to him . Not sure how long Red Bull can wait on a decision to make a driver swap ? The constructors championship is too important to only have Max collecting points . Very interesting qualy session .

And what is going on with Sainz and Williams? Is it the car, new team, communications? We know he can drive but Albon has his car about where it should be.

So how long until Yuki replaces Liam to be next to Max? By which race? Mid-summer break?

The real problem is no matter who is in that seat you have many issues to juggle . First off your team mate is Max . Love him or hate him he is a top notch driver . So pressure is instant . Second issue even Max has admitted the Red Bull is a bear to wrangle . A very steep learning curve . Third issue is the short fuse of Helmut Marko . He eats and spits out drivers . Instant pressure . There are no guarantees that Yuki or Hadjar or anyone else can instantly perform better . Perez had years to adapt and still struggled big time . I honestly think Red Bull need to correct the issues that make the car so edgy to drive . It is fast but seems like a very narrow performance window and not easy on tires . Like others I am interested to see how it plays out .

Congratulations to the winner . Another poor result for Liam......... tick tick tick goes the time left at Red Bull . Racing Bulls need to up their game on race strategy . Nice points for both Haas cars and Albon on his birthday gets points . On to the next one we go

The HAAS team got big time points and regained their race pace. In closing laps both cars were pressuring for a pass until it became a hang on to your tires scenario.

Interesting race. Astonishing that both Ferraris were DQ.

Some German sites are already reporting Yuki and Liam swapping at Suzuka - not sure if it’s real or for how long.. seems like on pace alone the Red Bull is a nightmare and that Verstappen is the only one gifted enough to drive around it. Every #2 at RB has suffered - I bet Yuki also does if this is real.
As for Leckerc I wonder how heavy a front wing end plate plus some more marble pickup woulda been… nobody mentioned Ocon on my feed - what a result considering there were nowhere ! Last edited by Deschodt; 03-23-2025 at 10:12 AM.. |
