But Bernie wanted an Australian driver in F1 and politics are more important than people. They put Ricciardo in the car this fast because of his popularity and the lack of De Vries'. If there was another Mexican driver available, I'm sure that Perez would be replaced just as easily. Politics is not easily talked about but a huge factor in giving drivers chances and seats.

I don't understand the Liam Lawson argument. Why would you bring him in now to drive a car that is the worst on the grid with pressure already in thst second sit? It's better to bring him in next year when the team has had a chance to reset. Having Riccardo in the second sit is an obvious choice to me because if he doesn't perform redbull can tell him thst he had his chance and if he performs and perez continues to struggle he gets the redbull sit

The brains power who builds, operate, and develop the car have a lot greater contribution than the driver who drives the car in term of generating fastest lap time on tracks. Old Maca was the 6-7 best car on the grid prior to is Austrian upgrade. Now Norris’ upgraded Maca is a joint 2 best cars with Merc, Aston, and Ferrari behind RBR. It is just a small portion of the whole car of which get upgraded components. Now compare to the driver, if you completely change the whole package Norris or Piastry with either Hamilton, Max, Alonso, Leclerc, or Russell, but the car they will get is the old spec, the improvement wouldn't be massive like upgrading the car, let alone close.

@@michaelhansen2309 read back though my comment. The part about world media having the same view on redbull was about the hate they get not just from the British media and that's what the original person comment on this thread was about. Next it's failing because the number of driver's they bring though and to make it into any pro racing seat in any racing series is low to how many they are training and that to the fact they are one of the only team's with more than one team in a racing series says it all. In f1 people say most of the grid is made up of ex redbull driver's how many of them are champions. Then moves that over to any other race series how many of them are champion or have even won race's. Max and vettel was their outstanding driver's to the point it's redbull top name's of achievement out of all racing series. Two driver's out of how many? It's failing because of percentages and cost.

Frustrating when you ask a question about Yuki, and Jaime proceeds to go on a 5 min rant about Perez. Would be nice to circle back on the original question.

Sky sports managing to attack Redbull, surprise surprise

Drivers complain all the time..."if I had a good car, then I could show you." Well if you're Checo, he's got that, so there are no excuses barring mechanical failure. Red Bull have made it clear THEIR goals are that Checo is to be qualifying in Q3, and on podiums if not winning races, because they've designed the current god of all cars. They have the power above all teams right now to recruit whomever they want to sit next to Max. Of course the fan base can scream "give Checo more chances, but the keyboard warriors don't matter to them and their investors or THEIR goals. There is this delusion by others that if you're at the top, you can coast like they perceive Max to be doing, but that is far from it. People at the top want to stay there and will do anything in their power to maintain that, and if that means even cutting someone who is clearly a talent like Checo for someone they think can get the job done by THEIR standards, Checo will be out of a seat. So he and the keyboard warriors can cry if they want to, but they don't hold the keys to the kingdom, Red Bull does. So get it done or get out.

I dont know if he was the best guest. He seems to resent RB for dropping him and living in a state of denial about his abilities. He was a decent midfielder, but not even close to becoming a top tier talent.

And next season Lawson will get either Ricciardo or Tsunoda's seat and the junior program is succesfull again. Because this move to put Ricciardo in is just to test him and Tsunoda.

That’s why he got dropped. Instead of focusing on F1 he was more involved in making music and throwing parties.
