Is it better or worse for Hadjar to replace Yuki in the Red Bull this season?or does Red Bull go back to Lawson?

Yuki supposedly gives excellent technical feedback to his engineer . So he knows what is going on . What is scary is Yuki told his engineer he thought he put down a good lap . And he's last ??? Big disconnect somewhere . Yuki is consistently being out qualified by Hadjar , that is not good for Yuki .
In theory the Red Bull car is superior to the Racing Bull . So Yuki should be in the top 5-6 in qualifying and race results . He's not even close . Is the pressure so great in the # 2 seat at RB that guys can't handle it ? Is the car so tailored to Max's driving style no one else can drive it ? I find it hard to believe Max is the only driver in F1 that can drive the RB fast . Lawson hasn't done great since his return to Racing Bulls as Hadjar out qualifies him most of the time and race results heavily favor Hadjar . So I don't see Lawson moving back up to RB . As good as Hadjar is I don't think he's ready for the # 2 seat at the mother ship . Maybe after this season ends but no sooner . Yuki has to get better .

I was surprised when Charles was out of the car before the end of qualifying. I'm guessing either something with the car or they needed the tires for the race.
In the interview he confirmed it was to save the tires. Lewis just didn't have the pace.

That no replacement rule: I understand, but a bit silly. You want a full field, right? Reserve drivers are usually decent, real race car drivers. It's not like the EBUG in the NHL. I suppose the question is: do you qualify the driver? Or do you qualify the car? Why not just insert the reserve driver and make him start P20 or in pit lane?

Wow just wow, strategic race, what happened to Williams? Good job for Hulk.
Max back to being super baby, and should have been blacked flagged! Whenever he knows he can’t win, it’s the tires, brakes, suspension or everyone is driving like an idiot, such a poor sport, not to mention dangerous

I am a fan of Max but that move on George was amateur at best and just stupid . Another great run by Piastri . Williams and Haas were far off the pace . Yuki did nothing . More points by Hadjar . Colapinto a dud . Hamilton not impressive for the $$$ he is making . Great run by Hulk , I doubt many fans missed Lance not starting .

One the Max and George (and other issues that require stewards): A. the team got it wrong telling him to give place back. B. The stewards take way too long to make decisions but somehow they were able to get this one fairly quickly. George was way too ambitious and caused the initial collision and when I first saw the contact live on the 'let him thru' pass, I thought it was George's fault. But on replay it was clear. Not excusing Max's conduct, but the team should have let it play out.
