I do think it's odd that immediately after Gasly and Albon's tenures, they suddenly got cold feet on the idea of just "throwing a driver in at the deep end". Despite having arguably a better opportunity to do so in the last 3 years while the car was so dominant. They could have had an under performing driver for a season and still bossed the constructors. And you can argue that they have because Sergio has been in that position for a while now.
It has nothing to do with the two, RBR saw why the 1-2 driver formula is the winning one. The problem is they've no need for a new #1 and their #2 isn't delivering anymore. Neither Yuki nor Lawson will be a good #2 for RBR, let alone a future #1. Ricciardo was supposed to be the golden backup for #2 until he dropped the ball too. So now they're stuck with a junior programme that's not delivering stars nor solid #2 prospects.

Because Yuki was never a Red Bull Driver, he was a Honda driver The only reason they keep Yuki around so that Honda would help them repair, maintain there engine until 2026 when open they own engine program
Is it though? Its impressive for Zhou, but I don't think its a knock against Lawson. If you look at Lawson's 5 races, the only decent points-scoring opportunities were in Vegas and Brazil. He scored points in Brazil, and only scored in Austin only due to a phenomenal race. Vegas he had a bad weekend admittedly. Yuki has only scored points twice in the last 5 races, just has more because Brazil was a clusterduck. If Liam didn't have the 10-place grid penalty in Austin he for sure would have finished 7th. Edit: I know its probably just a joke though so maybe Im taking it too seriously.
Yuki is tied to Honda. After 2026, that means Aston has access to him. Red Bull won’t want to show Yuki the top team, only to lose him to what is very likely to be a title rival team. It really is as simple as that. Honda even made interesting comments at the Aston Honda launch which shows the power they have over the drivers. They stated that they would “allow Alonso to race using their engine”. They also stated that Yuki is first in line for an Aston seat.
Lol! That's only because they were asked. We've got Lance and Alonso. The project is being built around Lance, that's been stated by Krack. Honda comes in. Sure, they probably want to bring in Yuki, but AMR/Honda only has two seats.. 1. Lance, nepotism. 2. Alonso, 2xWC, legend. 3. Yuki, manufacturer backing. So.. reservedriver at best? 😅
@ Newey is there because of Alonso. He publicly stated that he wanted to work with either Alonso or Hamilton. The interesting bit is Alonso is personally paying a large chunk of Newey’s salary. As for Lance, people believe he’s been bought a team but they fail to see that it’s Lawrence’s dream to win a world title, not Lance. It’s clear Lance doesn’t want to be there, and the pressure on his shoulders must be immense. He was actually pretty decent under a lower pressure environment at Williams, sort of like Albon.
People are forgetting how hot headed tsunoda is and he cracks under pressure, 2nd when Danny Rick came in he gave rb insight on to how develop the car properly and gave solid feedback of the car and yuki did not, he gives vague descriptions of things and the team has scramble to figure it out, this is f1 in order to make the car better, the engineers and the aero department needs input from the driver. if its rubbish feedback what’s the point of putting someone in the car that cant develop it properly 🤷🏾♂️ that’s my two cents on this.
AM needs to give up on Lance and bring in Yuki for '26. Yes, I know it's not going to happen but I can dream. He's wasting time with the Red Bull program at this stage
Lance isn't going anywhere, Daddy still wants to build him a championship winning car. Lance has that seat until the money runs out or he's too old to turn the wheel.
Yes Tsunoda is backed by Honda. That’s why RB should give Tsunoda a shot in the seat for repaying Honda for that rocketship engine that brought them 22 23 constructors championships.
I watched Lawson racing in RedBull DTM tintop Ferraris against Alex Albon. I was neither impressed by his driving nor his personality. Nothing I have seen of his time in F1 at VCRB has given me any cause to revise that impression. Liam imo has done no better against Yuki than Dani Ricc did. Quite the reverse in fact. Dani still sits higher in the standings than Liam.
Same, Yuki should get the seat over him. Plus, Liam got problems off track too with how he’s beefing with experienced drivers(in particular the Hispanic drivers)
Your analysis is flawed. Can't really compare two drivers standings when one has only been in for a handful of races and the other couldn't get his shit together with 2y in the car ..
@@gordonmurray3153 It's all about marketing really. He presents a good image for RB. Like how they wanted to pull something off with Albon and screwed him over. The same is going to happen with Liam too. The whole charade of him being better than Dani is mind blowing. He has the same machinery and has not shown anything to prove why he needs to be in the RB seat next year while Yuki has been consistently good over the years now. Sad really
Temperament issue is so untrue, and if it's true it would be unfair. Lawson is no better, look at him how he was obsessed with Alonso in last couple race, for example. I agree with someone commented that Yuki has to move to other team that appreciate his talent more. I really wish he can replace Lance Stroll in 2026. 🤞
This is the only thing I can think of. Yuki might want to follow Honda to Aston. There's no other logical explanation on why Yuki isn't given the Red Bull seat.
Liam Lawson is TRASH! He has been outperformed by Yuki every step of the way since he entered F1, and his beef with every other driver on the grid makes Yuki's "temperament" a non-issue in comparison.
incorrect, Lawson is leading Yuki 6-4 in feature races, despite being a rookie. By "every other driver" you mean Perez and Colapinto who are both not in F1 next season and old hot head Alonso, who couldn't handle being overtaken and probably gets replaced by Tsunoda when they are a Honda team.
Stroll needs to leave he is wasting a seat. Yuki and Alonso would be a pretty nice pair. Also yuki learned English through mechanics and engineers who typically use a lot of curse words he really means no harm plus all that adrenaline theses racers have when something goes wrong you can understand why they are so heated. So I think it’s a pretty poor excuse for not adding him to the Red Bull team.
He’ll score more points and is faster, but he might be mean to the engineer sometimes. This is why you lost the constructors. He should have been in that seat this year.
Literally just racism. Max is a child over the radio 99% of the time. Blaming Yuki’s swearing for not giving him a deserved promotion is absurd and anyone who pays attention to the sport can see that.
Racism is probably a factor, yes. I would also say that Max can get away with it given how good he is. It probably wouldn't be tolerated if he was shit.
Until very recently it seems like Yuki has been completely indifferent on whether or not he ever got bumped up to the main team. He has also been in f1 for four seasons now and has been solid but rarely spectacular.
Man rambled for nearly 2 hours, that’s crazy work. I’m a massive J Cole fan but GNX was a really solid project and if you were actually listening to GNX properly on the first track Kendrick said this album ain’t for lyricism he just wants guys to feel this and take it at face value
Pragmatically, Yuki is the lightest f1 driver at 54 kg in a sport where weight is important -- Max is 72 kg; an it just so happens Yuki is a good driver with lots of potential. He's also improved on his language since he's joined RB this seems like a simple decision --- Okay, I hear you, we know he's got some association with Honda but think about, give it a second.
I think yuki's consistency and technical feedback are some weaknesses of his but surely they're better than checo's. Maybe liam is better at giving feedback (idk) but he's not super consistent either. There doesn't seem to be a great option anywhere beside bottas, who would be comfortably number 2 but better than checo.
Tsunoda has been very impressive the past two years. If we're talking temperament, we have to admit it's not a great justification if Verstappen has been historically weak in that regard. Hard to see how this isn't plain ol' racism.
These arguments make no sense given Maxs attitude on the radio consistently and the fact that Lawson has already made enemies of numerous drivers and done things like flip off Checo. Redbull needs to get rid of Horner.
The fact that they threw the constructors away by not just having Yuki replace Perez mid season, his qualifying times in that shitbox car against perez in the RB alone should have got him that seat, at least for a year.
Yuki’s attitude seems to have changed this year. He seems to have taken the opportunity of Perez’s seat seriously. I think he deserves a chance, and promoting Lawson ahead of him makes little sense. Yuki is relatively consistent and might bloom with a good car underneath him.
If Redbull are so open to trying and sacking, then just pop Yuki in , then if he doesnt perform asap then just drop him. Makes better sense then risking Lawson to soon
I'm not the biggest fan of Yuki.. but Yuki is the right choice. So long as he's fast and consistent then I don't see an issue. His attitude and character aren't important because Max will remain the face of the team.
Red Bull should totally snapped up Bottas, perfect No.2 driver, proven fast and a team player, held his own during Merc’s dominance. Overlooked and underrated. Moving to Sauber did him no favours.
The description you used for Lawson was exactly what Ric was delivering, so have they gained in that swap? Me thinks not. Lawson to Red Bull would be about the same if they went with Ric. Just give it to Yuki and let’s see what fireworks transpire! 🎆🎇
Lawson is at best only OK. I understand why they don't want a hot headed Yuki around Max, but I'm almost certain there's an F2 driver that would outperform him. The new F2 class seems to be much more prepared for F1 and I chalk that up to their use of simulators to train. The older F1 drivers, like Lewis, say simulators are a waste of time. It's not a coincidence he never picked up on how to drive this new generation of car.
We've seen how much of a pressure cooker the Red Bull seat is, and Yuki does not have the mental toughness. He loses his temper too easily. His divebomb at Ricciardo after the checkered flag in Bahrain probably sealed his fate, unless he showed a marked improvement over the rest of the season, which he did not. If Yuki couldn't handle Danny as a teammate, he'd be a disaster as teammate to Max.
Would still prefer giving tsunoda a chance, Liam still very error prone at the moment. 2025 for Tsunoda Plan 2026 for Liam, or as early as summer break reaccessment in 2025 This shall give Tsunoda a good shot on his ability ceiling, and also refine well on Liam temper.
Lawson literally showed the middle finger to Perez in Mexico The double standards are unreal 💀 If Tsunoda lacks temperament then Lawson is nowhere near it
Man, the whole temperament thing is bs. Just watching Lawson's behavior the very first races he got into than Vcarb tell you he is also a hot headed kid that needs some humbling. If Tsunoda is mad it isn't any different to Mad Max and with more reason, he's been with redbull for years and deserves at least a chance. Red bull are so dependant on Max, they think they can treat their junior drivers like expendable equipment, but the truth is they have neglected them for lo long, there won't be a team if and whenever Max has to leave.
They better promote him or it better not be Lawson even though I like him too . But it would be disrespect to Yuki . I think it will be a complete outsider like vettel or something for a season or they will probably give Perez another lets say 5 first races of the season just to see if he is still tragic. I root for Yuki though
Man, I can't wait for the 2025 season to start and look the exact, carbon-copy of this year teammates performance: Max just being Max, and the other driver miles away. Don't get me wrong: I wish that we can see a proper duel, but RB is not going to do that because they like to put all the eggs on a single basket.
@@tuna5618 yuki has shown what he can do with a better car in Brazil tho. He can be atleast top 5 with a good car. Its just harsh how RB pretends he does not exist. Especially when Lawson's errors have pissed off several senior drivers like Alonso and even his own RB senior Perez. He may not be the 'best' the sport has seen but definitely one that has been highly overlooked
@@tuna5618Truth is, Red Bull doesn't deserve anyone from the current grid. I really don't understand how it even is possible to fuck up literally everything so fast
At this point, what does one season in the last year before a regulation change actually mean? If he cracks or the feedback isn't up too snuff then they can just ditch him for 2026 and he can rejoin Honda (if they ditch Lance or Alonso). Don't give him access to the RB2026-project. No harm done. Next year is looking like a transitional year for RB anyway - as the first year without Newey, but more windtunneltime then the last couple years.. 😅 Lawson would've ripened in the Vcarb and wouldn't be thrown into the deepend immediately like Albon and would be ready for '26.
Ricciardo should have been switched with Perez months ago, RBR threw away a massive chance to at the very least get someone who was already racing and new the team and car, and actually have a backup for Maxipad, and have a shot at the Constructors. But bye bye.

The fact that they threw the constructors away by not just having Yuki replace Perez mid season, his qualifying times in that shitbox car against perez in the RB alone should have got him that seat, at least for a year.
Yuki’s attitude seems to have changed this year. He seems to have taken the opportunity of Perez’s seat seriously. I think he deserves a chance, and promoting Lawson ahead of him makes little sense. Yuki is relatively consistent and might bloom with a good car underneath him.
If Redbull are so open to trying and sacking, then just pop Yuki in , then if he doesnt perform asap then just drop him. Makes better sense then risking Lawson to soon
Lawson has been no better than Ricciardo
Yuki just isn't marketable enough in the western market. That's the only reason perez has stayed in that seat for so long, he brings in a lot of money
Carlos Sainz will fix that 2nd Redbull seat problem for a foreseeable future, and be a worthy and proven successor for Max if he leaves.
It feels obvious that yuki is the choice. They may have some doubts but give him a chance and drop him if he doesnt perform
I'm not the biggest fan of Yuki.. but Yuki is the right choice. So long as he's fast and consistent then I don't see an issue. His attitude and character aren't important because Max will remain the face of the team.
Liam lawson is a messy driver. I will be very sad if they promote him over yuki. I would love to watch yuki race in a red bull
Translation: "RB thinks Lawson is easier to control and a much more comfortable doormat for Max".
Red Bull should totally snapped up Bottas, perfect No.2 driver, proven fast and a team player, held his own during Merc’s dominance. Overlooked and underrated. Moving to Sauber did him no favours.
The description you used for Lawson was exactly what Ric was delivering, so have they gained in that swap? Me thinks not. Lawson to Red Bull would be about the same if they went with Ric. Just give it to Yuki and let’s see what fireworks transpire! 🎆🎇
it is more realistic for yuki to drive for aston than it is to redbull
They are gonna break them two. Red Bull accademy is ridiculous
Lawson is at best only OK. I understand why they don't want a hot headed Yuki around Max, but I'm almost certain there's an F2 driver that would outperform him. The new F2 class seems to be much more prepared for F1 and I chalk that up to their use of simulators to train. The older F1 drivers, like Lewis, say simulators are a waste of time. It's not a coincidence he never picked up on how to drive this new generation of car.
Yuki is a PR nightmare. Although I'll admit he's toned down his temper tantrums, it's just that you only have one chance to make first impressions !
This isn’t really about Yuki. It’s about punishing Honda.
We've seen how much of a pressure cooker the Red Bull seat is, and Yuki does not have the mental toughness. He loses his temper too easily. His divebomb at Ricciardo after the checkered flag in Bahrain probably sealed his fate, unless he showed a marked improvement over the rest of the season, which he did not. If Yuki couldn't handle Danny as a teammate, he'd be a disaster as teammate to Max.
Would still prefer giving tsunoda a chance, Liam still very error prone at the moment.
2025 for Tsunoda
Plan 2026 for Liam, or as early as summer break reaccessment in 2025
This shall give Tsunoda a good shot on his ability ceiling, and also refine well on Liam temper.
Tsunoda if he cant move to Red Bull in 2026, he should try to move to Haas instead.
Yuki Tsunoda should join the Oracle Red Bull F1 Racing team.
I completely disagree with this guys opinion. I think Red Bull is seriously considering Yuki right now
Getting him to retire is worse than kicking him
Expecting Tsunoda vs Lawson violence next year.
Lawson literally showed the middle finger to Perez in Mexico
The double standards are unreal 💀
If Tsunoda lacks temperament then Lawson is nowhere near it
Nothing to do with temperament at all, if they can put up with Max, Yuki would be a breeze.
Yule has been there to placate Honda. No Honda - RedBull deal means no Yuki promotion.
Nonexistent emotional stability doomed Yuki.
The Tsunoda’s failed to discipline their boy.
Honda still supply the 2025 Red Bull, give Yuki 2025 and who knows, maybe Ford & Honda will collaborate like BMW-Toyota do.
Why does everyone ignore the Honda bit
It all comes down to sponsors.. lets not act like Lawson has shown any indication of being a model teammate for Max 😅
Man, the whole temperament thing is bs. Just watching Lawson's behavior the very first races he got into than Vcarb tell you he is also a hot headed kid that needs some humbling.
If Tsunoda is mad it isn't any different to Mad Max and with more reason, he's been with redbull for years and deserves at least a chance.
Red bull are so dependant on Max, they think they can treat their junior drivers like expendable equipment, but the truth is they have neglected them for lo long, there won't be a team if and whenever Max has to leave.
You get that the only reason Yuki is on the grid is because of Honda, right
I don't see any of their choices doing any better at being Max's teammate.
They better promote him or it better not be Lawson even though I like him too . But it would be disrespect to Yuki . I think it will be a complete outsider like vettel or something for a season or they will probably give Perez another lets say 5 first races of the season just to see if he is still tragic. I root for Yuki though
I don't know what RB will do, but stay with Perez is the worst option.
Daddy's little boy is in Yuki's seat! 😶 Yuki is a 'Honda' driver. Nuff said.
FA14 and YT22 for Aston 26!!!
But what about Isack Hadjar, who's the RBR reserve driver?
This may be a dumb question. But why in the heck didn't Red Bull sign Carlos Sainz Even if it was for just 1 year. Before he went to Audi.
Liam has shown in just a few races to be as much of a hot head if not more
Aston should Sign Tsunoda when Alonso eventually retires
Lawson is good but he needs to know that he will be the second driver against prime verstappen.
Man, I can't wait for the 2025 season to start and look the exact, carbon-copy of this year teammates performance: Max just being Max, and the other driver miles away. Don't get me wrong: I wish that we can see a proper duel, but RB is not going to do that because they like to put all the eggs on a single basket.
Nah, they won't promote him and we all know the reason, just that we won't acknowledge it
The fastest non max verstappen redbull driver… and Liam has beaten him 2 out of the 5 races that have done together… but sure yuki is soooooo great
I still hope Carlos Sainz gets a deal with Redbull
I want to see Yuki and Alonso together
Me too, Red Bull don't deserve Yuki and he needs a top 5 car.
@@Fiasco3 You're talking as if yuki is a max/lewis esque driver almost. "red bull don't deserve yuki" come on now be serious.
@@tuna5618 yuki has shown what he can do with a better car in Brazil tho. He can be atleast top 5 with a good car. Its just harsh how RB pretends he does not exist. Especially when Lawson's errors have pissed off several senior drivers like Alonso and even his own RB senior Perez. He may not be the 'best' the sport has seen but definitely one that has been highly overlooked
@@tuna5618Truth is, Red Bull doesn't deserve anyone from the current grid. I really don't understand how it even is possible to fuck up literally everything so fast
Red Bull has always been bad with second drivers. I will not be suprised they pick a rookie again that will fail. Yuki should have that seat.
At this point, what does one season in the last year before a regulation change actually mean?
If he cracks or the feedback isn't up too snuff then they can just ditch him for 2026 and he can rejoin Honda (if they ditch Lance or Alonso). Don't give him access to the RB2026-project. No harm done. Next year is looking like a transitional year for RB anyway - as the first year without Newey, but more windtunneltime then the last couple years.. 😅
Lawson would've ripened in the Vcarb and wouldn't be thrown into the deepend immediately like Albon and would be ready for '26.
They worry about his temperament over the radio?????……er, Max………?????
Ricciardo should have been switched with Perez months ago, RBR threw away a massive chance to at the very least get someone who was already racing and new the team and car, and actually have a backup for Maxipad, and have a shot at the Constructors.
But bye bye.
"Liam Lawson is the best bet" - Liam Lawson is in no way ready for RBR. Theyre better off with a test driver than a brand new driver.
He is too small he cant reach the contract
The main reason eod is Helmut Marko.
Yuki > Liam
