  • Yuki just isn’t rated by Marko and Christian, when was the last time that they talked about promoting him?

    I think it is more of an issue that yuki is a Honda backed driver and not a “true” red Bull junior which plays against his promotion chances. He is solid and dependable while not being blazing quick - the exact 2nd driver red Bull are looking for.

    Also be is not helped by the fact that horner loves Daniel and is borderline obsessed with getting him back to red Bull.








  • So McLaren are now the fastest car on average (averaging over conditions and corner types), have an amazing driver pairing but operationally are the weakest. Red Bull are no longer the fastest but are operationally the best and by quite a margin. They also have the best driver but he is fighting alone. Merc are pretty well balanced - the car is fast but not the fastest, strategy and operations are good but not perfect and the driver line up is amazing.

    All three teams are evenly matched. The double header will be fascinating.
