@@glx333That is the point. But with Liam he is mentally strong and a "character". Such rubbish. All anyone wanting a seat needs to do now is be a of a nob.
I like Yuki I'd do but people are saying how it's not far but what's not far to me is the drivers in the r.b junior program who got over looked for Yuki do to the honda partnership
De Vries, Ricciardo... they took up space. Yuki has been a Red Bull junior since 2019 when he did F3. To say he took up space is ridiculous. He has been nothing but loyal to Red Bull.
And go where? I seriously doubt he would get a seat elsewhere in F1. Hell, even Bottas didn't get a seat for 2025. He was damn lucky Mercedes took him on as reserve driver. Probably in the event that Antonelli can't hack it, they know Bittas has done this before.
Yuki is good. But it took him several seasons to resemble a racing driver. Lawson comes in mid season and starts performing right away in 23 and 24. Why doesnt anyone see the difference here? Yuki had years in that car and team. Ofc newcomers cant just beat him straight away. But Lawson has been close enough to prove he has more potential.
Yes, but with no disrespect to Lawson, he came in to replace a driver (Ricciardo) who's performance was on the decline and again when Ricciardo was dumped. Let's see what 2025 brings.
I really hope Ferrari produce a dominate car, and Lewis and Leclerc entertain his with their championship fight, because I really have no time to pay attention to 6 whole rookies and Yuki complaining on one grid. When RB say they have to consider letting Yuki go, is this just gaslighting or does an actual team want him?
@ as if Red Bull couldn’t work out a contractual arrangement with Honda for his services in either the form of a buy out or a loan if they wanted him. Contracts get negotiated all the time. The reality is getting him a seat at Aston Martin is going to be near impossible. Lance is going nowhere and Fernando will stay under the end of 2026 at minimum n and if he does retire, Lawrence will move the Sun, the moon and the stars to get Max in that seat. Lawrence wants a multiple world champion in that senior seat and Yuki does not fit that bill.
@ agreed. Red Bull leadership never wanted Yuki in Red Bull which is why he was never allowed to test in a Red Bull until this post season tire test which Honda insisted upon
Yuki is not a product of Red Bull like Liam Max Ric and Vettel were. Yuki is a product of Honda, and since Honda is leaving Red Bull in 2026, Redbull does not have anymore pressure from Honda to keep Yuki in the car. Yuki was in the Red Bull seat the last 4 seasons due to the engine partnership. Yuki goes where Honda go. It doesn't matter the performance; it was always Liam, as they want to produce from the Red Bull driver academy.
The most important thing to learn from perez being max's teammate is that the second seat needs to be someone that drives in a similar way to max, in order for the car development to be informed and work for both drivers. Why isn't someone out of the multitude of F1 content creators looking at onboard footage of the various drivers out there and finding who would actually be a good teammate to max for car development (even if they weren't on pace with max). Who out of tsunoda, Lawson and danny ricc has the most similar style/car preference
Yeah thats why liam was slower in races and in qualifying when they were teamates ... Lol this is not even me being biased because i cant because literally the numbers are there. Lawson lost both quali and race when they were teamates together last year
I think what makes Lawson the technically best choice is how he should’ve won DTM when Albon was there and he won Super Formula easily and he’s not far behind Yuki despite being new and he’s a lot more mature than Yuki (see Bahrain 2024). Edit- AND he’s a real RedBull academy driver.
If Yuki is to get a better drive, it's gonna have to be with a team that will be affiliated with Honda. Don't put this on Red Bull, the question is will Honda step up and get Yuki a better ride?
that’s just another thing to say because the data shows yuki is better. they don’t want a honda contracted driver to sit in the main seat, and once 2026 they won’t have honda so they’ll release him. this is their plan. they never were gonna promote him no matter what.
How was Hamilton’s driver of the day at Spa controversial? He lead the entire race and should have won on merit had his teammate used a strategy that would have ensured they had a legal car at the end of the race instead of an illegal car.
How dumb is Yuki? If it was gonna happen it would've years ago. Dan was gonna get that seat had that plan worked before he got the boot. And the fact Liam has come in and been on par with Yuki why is everyone surprised 15:20
Sounds like Red Bull wanted a cut throat driver that resembles max. If their car is sub par next year it probably won’t matter. I also think Red Bull is searching for the next Max, rookie-ish driver that is raw and can give them success in the future.
At least they could have told him 6 months ago that he wasn’t the favoured child. It would have allowed him to regroup if not for 2025-26. Clinging on to a driver for years after years, then ultimately dumping him when he delivers, and the opportunity arises; is not a class act in my book.
Lawson should have been promoted to Alpha Tauri ahead of Nick Devries and Danny Ric, this would have given him a couple of years testing against Tsunoda for the Red bull seat. to be fair Tsunoda was rubbish in his first two seasons took him 4 to come right, hopefully they give Liam a decent shot.
After all the test sessions and internal interviews , I think Max had the final say on who his running mate would be . Max knows who he can bully and it's not Yuki (where it woukd matter on track) . Yuki would have more weight to expose any unfair shenanigans Max would try pulling where Lawson would fold because he has less skin in the game . Yuki will be around for a while in the sport . I just wish for him to be with a team that shows appreciation for his incredible talent before he burns out from the politics . A whole class of new drivers is on the rise so more teams on the grid can't come soon enough . Beep beeeep , Lets go !
@@cieloame2705Neither of us was being paid by honda just to drive a car and do it badly. If all you do in ur life is drive a car , and you cant do it well then its only fair for you to leave the sport and go somewhere else. These team are Companies, and the driver is nothing more than a Job for them. If you hire someone who has shown you he can do the same as someone who was given to you with the engine and forced to keep , thne is a no brainer. Ive seen lot of ppl calling it Racist, but why racist? Yuuki lost his first year to Gasly, and whenever he has beaten someone, this someone had 1/10 of his experience and got sacked. Yuuki on the other hand, never did anything good, and for Lawson to be faster or as fast as Yuuki with 10 races compared to almost 100 of Yuuki, he should feel embarassed...
Yuki is quiet compared to Hadjar. Maybe the team name is still illfitting or wrong. Now Yuki's angry with being used as a yardstick, beaten everyone. Then still been past over and with Hadjars mouth on the radio. Raging Bulls, anyone??🤣🤣🤣🤣
According to the Red Bull management, judging by how quickly Lawson was promoted to the Red Bull team with only a token F1 experience, they are saying that Lawson is a much better prospect than Max was when he was promoted.
@@rientsdijkstra4266 After a year of resetting the bar, for rookies drivers, in a junior car, Max was upgraded to the Red Bull team. After 6 disappointing races, in the junior team, where he proved that he does not follow team orders when he risked everything to block a senior team driver, costing both teams critically important championship points, and then willfully damaged the senior teams car. Try to imagine how Joss Verstappen & Max feels about being 'hogtied by a midfield driver, with questionable F1 experience, like Lawson, and being discredited by Horner's very poor sense of judgement.
Why would Red Bull (who has a technical partnership with Ford for 2026) sign a guy who is backed by Honda? In fact, I think they'll get rid of Yuki after '25.
they understand but they just dont care , f1 is not real world for most peope its a fantasy , drivers arent real for them , they are characters and they should behave like written characters
It’s just politics, he’s a Honda paid driver. Hence his 4 and now 5 years in the bridesmaid team. His attitude has always stunk from year 1. He’s a great driver quite obviously, but he’s lacking that elite professionalism an F1 driver should have across the board.
The Yuki decision is not a surprise. Once Honda was leaving any leverage he had was gone. I still think when he dive bombed Danny Ric earlier this year Horner was like Yuki will never be in. If Liam half way performs next year Yuki's best chance will be if Alonso retires which seems unlikely. I'm worried he might not be in a seat in 26.
Why always the comparison to Yuki when it comes to qualifying? Perhaps you know something RB don’t and you should help them out and send them some links to your channel so the penny finally drops for them. I am sure it will be painfully obvious for them once they finally get it. Yuki robbed? Not a chance. He’s had 4 years both in the public eye and behind the scenes to make this a very simple decision for RB and it seems they have made their decision.
Sad for yuki but the reality is, he only just beat Lawson on quali and lost out to him on race pace. Yuki has 4 years more experience, Ricardo was more experienced and got beat and DeVries was beat in both quali and race pace. Lastly yukis first team mate (gasley) smashed him. He’s as good as he is going to get and someone with 10 races only just lost out to him on quali on a bunch of tracks he’s never raced at
Thanks for pointing that out this hoser is bias & lies for weeks about Suzuki Yuki moto Ricardo was beating him after summer brake& your right LAWSOM HAS BETTER RACE PASE ALL READY SUZUKI YUKI MOTO ENDS ALL OF HIS RACES BACKWARDS FROM WHERE HE STARTS & THIS CLOWN WONT TALK ABOUT THAT DONT WORRY JUSTICE YOUR SUZUKI MOTO WILL COME WHEN HE GOES TO A DIFFERENT TEAM & TRULY GETS EXPOSED FOR HOW BAD HE SUCKS & HONDA WONT BE ABLE TO SAVE HIM OFF TO FORMULA E
That comment from Horner on Yuki basically says it all, it’s never going to happen and he should start looking elsewhere. This is beyond unfair to Yuki.
Tsunoda can't really complain. RB was probably forced to take on him because of the Honda engine. He's lucky to have a drive considering how much time RB allowed him to develop. If he was that good I'm sure his manager would've shopped him around and another team would've scooped him up.
It's been clear for a few years that Horner doesn't want Yuki in the Red Bull. thinking back when Riccardo was given the 2024 seat over Lawson and there we're rumors that Horner wanted Riccardo and Lawson, but Marko reminded Horner that Yuki comes with a lot of Honda money so Yuki stays. Strange to me that with Horner now making it clear Yuki has no future within the Red Bull family at the same time Honda and Red Bull part ways. yuki has shown especially over the last two season he has more then earned his place on the grid, I don't think he is a top four team driver but there are going to be 7 other team in 2026 and Yuki's management team should be knocking on every door
It's so interesting to know that Lawson's favorite race was Abu Dabhi 2021, I can imagine how it is gonna be this coming season with all those teenagers on the track 😂, lots of cash flying to the sky and principals sitting on the edge waiting to see how much they have to invest on week races...😂
Horner's comment that Lawson showed better race pace may be a key fctor in the decision. Now we know that data presented by the engineers had a hell of a lot to do with the decision. Comments that Yuki 'destroyed' Lawson in qualifying need to be put into context - Lawson was on an F1 learning curve and only a couple of tenths behing Yuki in qualifying, At the end of the day race pace is what wins races.
Yeah and liam also lost the 'race' when they were teamates, im not even being biased because the numbers are there... Yuki beat him in quali and race when they were teamates
Yuki Tsunoda lost the most places of any driver during the 2024 Formula 1 season, finishing 1.7 places lower than he qualified on average. Liam went forward on average. So Yuki looks like a quali specialist but falls back in the race. Liam tends to make up places.
This whole Redbull/F1 situation is like the anime Darling in the Franxx and Max is like Zero Two, when is Max gonna find his darling without destroying them xD
the annoying part is that Laurent Mekies is just a puppet at VCARB Horner is taking all the decision,even the departure of Daniel Ricciardo was a mess,it's definitively one team with 4 cars and 3 drivers that they can switch or change when they want. Disgusting
With Yukon and Lawson it is definitely a case of progression. Yuki is basically at his peak and Lawson definitely has much more to give and improve on. I feel really bad for Yuki because he has done everything he could, but at te end of the day F1 is a business and long term Lawson has a lot more promise than Yuki. In terms of a Rwanda F1, that is never going to happen. They don’t have any real Motorsport season to speak of, and without even a Grand Prix circuit, they will never get a slot over Kyalami who already has a top spec circuit and only need to upgrade a couple of areas to be F1 ready.
RBR is truly a laughingstock at this point. Yuki Tsunoda, with the experience he has gained from his time on the track, would have been a far more competent choice for them. Meanwhile, bringing in a rookie like Liam Lawson is a gamble that could end up costing the team significantly in terms of damage and repairs. As for Checo, he'll just be sitting on the sidelines, probably enjoying some popcorn while watching the chaos unfold!
What? Lawson had one crash in 11 starts - and it was caused by a rampant Colapinto - and the damage was minor. His track record for avoiding crashes compared with other rookies is outstading.
I think Yuki will prove himself in '25 and things will improve for him. Lawson is interesting; perhaps he will be a Max in the future, I think he has the glass in the heart to do it, but not next year. I wonder if RB will regret their move. Ferrari won't because even if Lewis doesn't perform well, and he will🏎👍, it's all about the combined branding. Well done on the constant output; you are much appreciated. When do you do Xmas shopping😂?
Surely Max vetoed Yuki The ‘Liam has more room for improvement’ line means that you know Yuki is faster. And surely, Danny had ‘more room for improvement’ too. At least, with Oscar and Jack, there will be 3 Aussies on the grid for 2025.
no it means Lawson as a rookie is as fast as Yuki is now after 4 seasons racing. When Yuki was a rookie, he was getting thrashed by Gasly, who tripled his points that season in a competitive car.
Why don't you people even put the thought that Liam and Isaac (tests) barely sat on F1 cars, so keeping Yuki might just be acareful step just for not having 2 rookies at Alpha tauri. Also Issac is very fiery
I wouldn't feel that bad for Yuki if RB picked up Sainz, but RB doesn't want anyone in their 2nd car that's gonna REALLY fight against their golden goose Max. Honer said back in 2017 "We are going to build the team around Max." 7 going on 8 years later... it's still business as usual.
Every team has a change in driver lineup except Aston MArtin & McLaren. wow! ANd I agree Yuki sould have gotten the RB drive, he has done everything better than all of his team mates by a long shot.

It's the toughest seat on the grid - but don't feel sorry for him - it is what he has dreamed of all his life - now it's up to him to deliver.
Huh?? Feeling sorry for a young man about to embark on a lifetime adventure that us mere mortals can only dream about, and your feeling sorry for him?
Neither Yuki, nor Lawson deserve the Redbull seat. IMHO. (On a side note, it'll never happen, but could you imagine Alonso getting a ride wtih them?).
Thats my dream team, the most ruthless and skilled pair on the grid IMO.
I could see Alonso accepting that role at this stage TBH
Let's start an online campaign! The season would be epic. Alonso @ RBR
Max and Alo, Lec and Ham, Nor and Pia, Rus and Ant.... a season to end all seasons. Especially before thr rule changes in 26'
Sounds like Red Bull wanted a cut throat driver that resembles max. If their car is sub par next year it probably won’t matter. I also think Red Bull is searching for the next Max, rookie-ish driver that is raw and can give them success in the future.
At least they could have told him 6 months ago that he wasn’t the favoured child. It would have allowed him to regroup if not for 2025-26. Clinging on to a driver for years after years, then ultimately dumping him when he delivers, and the opportunity arises; is not a class act in my book.
3:49 That picture of Isack gives me “when life gives you lemons” vibes
The answer nothing he can do just give hes best and hope another Top Team wants him otherwise its game over
He could drive better…
Honda dumped Red Bull.
Red Bull dumped Yuki.
Horner punishing Honda.
Yuki is Honda's Protege
Totally .. it really is this linear.
Had Honda stayed it may have been different.
Yuki got MOGGED by Lawson.
It’s a shame.
Basically Yuki is saying it’s impossible for him the get the Red Bull seat because we all know it’s impossible to podium or win in that tractor
Lawson should have been promoted to Alpha Tauri ahead of Nick Devries and Danny Ric, this would have given him a couple of years testing against Tsunoda for the Red bull seat. to be fair Tsunoda was rubbish in his first two seasons took him 4 to come right, hopefully they give Liam a decent shot.
Surprised Webber is cool with his driver being a number two. Multi 21 still in memory.
I hope he goes to Aston Martin in 2026 with Honda driving a Newey designed car and drives away from Red Bull.
After all the test sessions and internal interviews , I think Max had the final say on who his running mate would be . Max knows who he can bully and it's not Yuki (where it woukd matter on track) . Yuki would have more weight to expose any unfair shenanigans Max would try pulling where Lawson would fold because he has less skin in the game .
Yuki will be around for a while in the sport . I just wish for him to be with a team that shows appreciation for his incredible talent before he burns out from the politics . A whole class of new drivers is on the rise so more teams on the grid can't come soon enough .
Beep beeeep , Lets go !
His incredible talent...?
Where have you seen it? Took him 4 years to learn how to drive that Car...
@Andrea-vl6mf Neither us know or can reasonably tell why that may have been . And , I know I don't have a super license .
@@cieloame2705Neither of us was being paid by honda just to drive a car and do it badly.
If all you do in ur life is drive a car , and you cant do it well then its only fair for you to leave the sport and go somewhere else.
These team are Companies, and the driver is nothing more than a Job for them.
If you hire someone who has shown you he can do the same as someone who was given to you with the engine and forced to keep , thne is a no brainer.
Ive seen lot of ppl calling it Racist, but why racist?
Yuuki lost his first year to Gasly, and whenever he has beaten someone, this someone had 1/10 of his experience and got sacked.
Yuuki on the other hand, never did anything good, and for Lawson to be faster or as fast as Yuuki with 10 races compared to almost 100 of Yuuki, he should feel embarassed...
Yuki is quiet compared to Hadjar. Maybe the team name is still illfitting or wrong. Now Yuki's angry with being used as a yardstick, beaten everyone. Then still been past over and with Hadjars mouth on the radio. Raging Bulls, anyone??🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe Yuki is too good and Max doesn't want him?!
🇨🇦❤Lt Gen Dallaire's tale, explains 🇨🇦's Rwanda PTSD.😔
They could trade out one of the races in the middle east for Africa.
Haters will hate, but this is my favorite f1 news chanel by a long way. This mam is an absolute beast! Handling several channels with daily uploads.
According to the Red Bull management, judging by how quickly Lawson was promoted to the Red Bull team with only a token F1 experience, they are saying that Lawson is a much better prospect than Max was when he was promoted.
🤣Max was promoted in 1 year, and won his first race...
@@rientsdijkstra4266 After a year of resetting the bar, for rookies drivers, in a junior car, Max was upgraded to the Red Bull team.
After 6 disappointing races, in the junior team, where he proved that he does not follow team orders when he risked everything to block a senior team driver, costing both teams critically important championship points, and then willfully damaged the senior teams car.
Try to imagine how Joss Verstappen & Max feels about being 'hogtied by a midfield driver, with questionable F1 experience, like Lawson, and being discredited by Horner's very poor sense of judgement.
@@midas7394 Bruh, my observation is that you have no clue what is going on but that you are very convinced about being right. Good luck.
Why would Red Bull (who has a technical partnership with Ford for 2026) sign a guy who is backed by Honda? In fact, I think they'll get rid of Yuki after '25.
Anyone who is questioning why Yuki did not get the seat doesn’t understand a single thing about Formula One. I mean come one 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
they understand but they just dont care , f1 is not real world for most peope its a fantasy , drivers arent real for them , they are characters and they should behave like written characters
@@tahasoomro8585 Exactly, this is all going off script and it's not acceptable.
It’s just politics, he’s a Honda paid driver. Hence his 4 and now 5 years in the bridesmaid team. His attitude has always stunk from year 1. He’s a great driver quite obviously, but he’s lacking that elite professionalism an F1 driver should have across the board.
@@timothywalker6465 Because lawson is very professional
Everyone vote yuki for driver of the day next year for every race
F1 has become a none sport joke . The first Max Championship was the end .
The Yuki decision is not a surprise. Once Honda was leaving any leverage he had was gone. I still think when he dive bombed Danny Ric earlier this year Horner was like Yuki will never be in. If Liam half way performs next year Yuki's best chance will be if Alonso retires which seems unlikely. I'm worried he might not be in a seat in 26.
Tsunoda would be a repeat of Perez, trying to fight Max, etc.
Why always the comparison to Yuki when it comes to qualifying? Perhaps you know something RB don’t and you should help them out and send them some links to your channel so the penny finally drops for them. I am sure it will be painfully obvious for them once they finally get it. Yuki robbed? Not a chance. He’s had 4 years both in the public eye and behind the scenes to make this a very simple decision for RB and it seems they have made their decision.
I don’t think they are trying to put anyone fast, fastest of them were Ric, they let him go.
He beat fraudstappen and lost his way
Excellent commentary
The guys were alright-ed
Sad for yuki but the reality is, he only just beat Lawson on quali and lost out to him on race pace. Yuki has 4 years more experience, Ricardo was more experienced and got beat and DeVries was beat in both quali and race pace. Lastly yukis first team mate (gasley) smashed him. He’s as good as he is going to get and someone with 10 races only just lost out to him on quali on a bunch of tracks he’s never raced at
Thanks for pointing that out this hoser is bias & lies for weeks about Suzuki Yuki moto Ricardo was beating him after summer brake& your right LAWSOM HAS BETTER RACE PASE ALL READY SUZUKI YUKI MOTO ENDS ALL OF HIS RACES BACKWARDS FROM WHERE HE STARTS & THIS CLOWN WONT TALK ABOUT THAT DONT WORRY JUSTICE YOUR SUZUKI MOTO WILL COME WHEN HE GOES TO A DIFFERENT TEAM & TRULY GETS EXPOSED FOR HOW BAD HE SUCKS & HONDA WONT BE ABLE TO SAVE HIM OFF TO FORMULA E
There's no reason why Africa can't have two Grand Prix.
Yeah there is it's called corruption when money starts flowing the vultures will circle
YUKI is HONDA DRIVER and Honda is leaving in 2026 and YUKI leaves then too!!! So ofc YUKI won’t get the RBR seat!!
The current circumstances set the scene for a great Yuki Tsunoda redemption arc……
That comment from Horner on Yuki basically says it all, it’s never going to happen and he should start looking elsewhere. This is beyond unfair to Yuki.
He shouldn’t of shown RB how fast he would be next to Max
Tsunoda can't really complain. RB was probably forced to take on him because of the Honda engine.
He's lucky to have a drive considering how much time RB allowed him to develop. If he was that good I'm sure his manager would've shopped him around and another team would've scooped him up.
It’s funny that they couldn’t do anything to get Liam in the Mastercardvisavenmocashapp Car but he’s the first choice for the Redbull seat
Rwanda doesnt even make sense, south africa is one of, if not the country in africa with the highest F1 viewers. Thoughts?
SA is another joke of a nation, so it's absolute a potential candidate country
It's been clear for a few years that Horner doesn't want Yuki in the Red Bull. thinking back when Riccardo was given the 2024 seat over Lawson and there we're rumors that Horner wanted Riccardo and Lawson, but Marko reminded Horner that Yuki comes with a lot of Honda money so Yuki stays. Strange to me that with Horner now making it clear Yuki has no future within the Red Bull family at the same time Honda and Red Bull part ways. yuki has shown especially over the last two season he has more then earned his place on the grid, I don't think he is a top four team driver but there are going to be 7 other team in 2026 and Yuki's management team should be knocking on every door
It's so interesting to know that Lawson's favorite race was Abu Dabhi 2021, I can imagine how it is gonna be this coming season with all those teenagers on the track 😂, lots of cash flying to the sky and principals sitting on the edge waiting to see how much they have to invest on week races...😂
Horner's comment that Lawson showed better race pace may be a key fctor in the decision. Now we know that data presented by the engineers had a hell of a lot to do with the decision. Comments that Yuki 'destroyed' Lawson in qualifying need to be put into context - Lawson was on an F1 learning curve and only a couple of tenths behing Yuki in qualifying, At the end of the day race pace is what wins races.
Even if that is true, you could let Tsunoda race in Red Bull for 25 and keep Lawson in Vcarb. Then as Lawson develops you could swap it.
Yuki Tsunoda lost the most places of any driver during the 2024 Formula 1 season, finishing 1.7 places lower than he qualified on average
Yeah and liam also lost the 'race' when they were teamates, im not even being biased because the numbers are there... Yuki beat him in quali and race when they were teamates
All Right Guys
Yuki is average, Gasly won a race in the same car Yuki drove,
Yuki Tsunoda lost the most places of any driver during the 2024 Formula 1 season, finishing 1.7 places lower than he qualified on average. Liam went forward on average. So Yuki looks like a quali specialist but falls back in the race. Liam tends to make up places.
Good send Yuki to another team then you can stop crying.
This whole Redbull/F1 situation is like the anime Darling in the Franxx and Max is like Zero Two, when is Max gonna find his darling without destroying them xD
Yuki will never beat the honda nepo baby accusations if he goes to AM with them
the annoying part is that Laurent Mekies is just a puppet at VCARB Horner is taking all the decision,even the departure of Daniel Ricciardo was a mess,it's definitively one team with 4 cars and 3 drivers that they can switch or change when they want. Disgusting
As bad as I feel for Yuki, he’s still got an F1 drive at RedBull from the 4 seats they have to offer in F1.
YESSSSS ISACK AND LIAM 💪💪💪💪💪💪 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 so happy for them BOTH
Yardstick Yuki is forever bound to his VCARB sit
With Yukon and Lawson it is definitely a case of progression. Yuki is basically at his peak and Lawson definitely has much more to give and improve on. I feel really bad for Yuki because he has done everything he could, but at te end of the day F1 is a business and long term Lawson has a lot more promise than Yuki. In terms of a Rwanda F1, that is never going to happen. They don’t have any real Motorsport season to speak of, and without even a Grand Prix circuit, they will never get a slot over Kyalami who already has a top spec circuit and only need to upgrade a couple of areas to be F1 ready.
There was no objective analysis by Honer, Yuki was never in the picture.
RBR is truly a laughingstock at this point. Yuki Tsunoda, with the experience he has gained from his time on the track, would have been a far more competent choice for them.
Meanwhile, bringing in a rookie like Liam Lawson is a gamble that could end up costing the team significantly in terms of damage and repairs. As for Checo, he'll just be sitting on the sidelines, probably enjoying some popcorn while watching the chaos unfold!
You can laugh, but they’ll gladly take their six championships in four seasons
What? Lawson had one crash in 11 starts - and it was caused by a rampant Colapinto - and the damage was minor. His track record for avoiding crashes compared with other rookies is outstading.
@@wilsonowen1731 yep, has driven in the wet impeccably in 2 GPs, when Colapinto crashed twice and Bearman went off track multiple times.
yuki is a honda driver not a redbull junior only there because of their deal
I hope Yuki qualifies right behind Lawson and drives right around him in turn 1.
I think Yuki will prove himself in '25 and things will improve for him. Lawson is interesting; perhaps he will be a Max in the future, I think he has the glass in the heart to do it, but not next year. I wonder if RB will regret their move. Ferrari won't because even if Lewis doesn't perform well, and he will🏎👍, it's all about the combined branding. Well done on the constant output; you are much appreciated. When do you do Xmas shopping😂?
Thank you!
Red Bull doesn't want someone in the second seat to race Max. The second driver is there to follow behind Max and act as a blocker.
Surely Max vetoed Yuki
The ‘Liam has more room for improvement’ line means that you know Yuki is faster.
And surely, Danny had ‘more room for improvement’ too.
At least, with Oscar and Jack, there will be 3 Aussies on the grid for 2025.
no it means Lawson as a rookie is as fast as Yuki is now after 4 seasons racing. When Yuki was a rookie, he was getting thrashed by Gasly, who tripled his points that season in a competitive car.
I hope Yuki's anger fuels his performance in the coming season.
Why don't you people even put the thought that Liam and Isaac (tests) barely sat on F1 cars, so keeping Yuki might just be acareful step just for not having 2 rookies at Alpha tauri. Also Issac is very fiery
I wouldn't feel that bad for Yuki if RB picked up Sainz, but RB doesn't want anyone in their 2nd car that's gonna REALLY fight against their golden goose Max. Honer said back in 2017 "We are going to build the team around Max." 7 going on 8 years later... it's still business as usual.
Every team has a change in driver lineup except Aston MArtin & McLaren. wow! ANd I agree Yuki sould have gotten the RB drive, he has done everything better than all of his team mates by a long shot.
They should have gone for Bottas, the PERFECT second driver. Good in quali and decent enough race pace
yuki will be racing super formula before the season ends
Awesome LIAM !!
Data backs the best man for the job.
Look forward to Super Max getting back up !!
Silly season really lasted longer than the entire F1 season
Is it just me that wasn`t surprised by Hamilton to Ferrari whatsoever?
