    Liam Lawson’s future at Red Bull is under serious threat as Christian Horner and Helmut Marko engage in a power struggle that could determine the fate of the team's next big driver. Despite Lawson proving his worth with solid performances, Horner appears to be shifting focus to other Red Bull junior talents like Arvid Lindblad, Franco Colapinto, and Oliver Bearman. With Daniel Ricciardo’s departure potentially opening a door for Lawson, the competition from Red Bull’s deep pool of junior drivers is fierce, leaving fans wondering if Lawson will get his big break or be left behind.
    In this video, we discuss the growing uncertainty around Liam Lawson's future, Christian Horner’s recent comments, and what Red Bull’s strategy might mean for the young driver’s career. With 15 junior drivers vying for a spot, the pressure is on Lawson to perform at his best if he wants to avoid being overshadowed by rising stars. Could Red Bull’s future lineup already be decided, or is there still hope for Lawson? Watch to find out the latest on this intense F1 power battle!

      I agree Hadjar has the results on the board to merit consideration though. Yuki has improved nicely from his first two years in speed, consistency and temperament yet he's still being overlooked for the main team and he's now looking at his 5th year at VCarb/AT/TR/Minardi. They can't keep him there forever. All in all Red Bull's driver management has been a bit of a mess over the last few years.

      @@DPG-Guitar I’m all about second chances but having the best car and not beating Colapinto and Doohan in tractors is a really bad first impression. People like to whinge and bellyache about the Drugoviches and Pourchaires of the world not being auto-entitled to a seat in the top flight of motorsport for winning a spec series at the third attempt but teams are gonna look at more than just pace before they end contracts with some one who’s been around forever on probably one of the most experienced grids of all time. Drugovich being a Nepobaby, maybe that’s what drew him to that team, but he surely has to know that they’re not going to give him Fernando’s seat, let alone Lord of the Nepobabies Stroll’s?
      I think Hadjar will be a stopgap at Visa ToroRosso-Minardi at best :p Faenza is hallowed ground, let’s be honest. Fernando Alonso made his first steps as an F1 legend there. Seb. Max. Webber. Danny. Carlos. Just having worked in the same garages as those dudes should bring a tear to either eye. F1 reserve driver must be a pretty good gig, all things considered.

    Liam Lawson really is a tragic figure. He went everywhere Red Bull wanted him to go, showed up, was quick immediately - and yet never came out first in a championship that raises doubts if he actually is a champion, so he stays on the sideline. If there is a Red Bull driver who deserves a shot then it is him. If he fails in F1, then throw him out. But at least try him, he could actually be good

    Yuki and Liam (and some of the other Red Bull juniors) came in at exactly the wrong time. The Death of Dietrich Mateschitz lost Helmut most of his power, and after the controversy Horner has been looking for yes-men and loyalists above all else. To Horner all these Red Bull Juniors are assosicated with Helmut, which is to a large extent true.
    The only reason Helmut is even around the track still is because the Verstappens like him so much, and Horner wants to avoid that at all costs with future drivers. Theyre pawns in a game of internal politics in Red Bull instead of racing drivers at this point, and no matter what they actually do, Horner will see them as aligned with Helmut Marko, too hot headed and too difficult for Horner to control (Yuki, Liam and Isack have all shown this to some extent, none of them seem like they'd always do as Horner asked of them without question)

He will be out as soon as a top 4 team shows any interest in him. I would assume James wishes to keep Colapinto on Williams contract to put him in after Sainz or even Albon.

Max has definitely matured himself and produced the goods. I wonder if he would want to become that elder statesman of the team and to be that example of stability for the rookies. It could be problematic if the business with the FIA and Max turns into a full on spat and Max decides.....'I have my world titles, I've achieved that....screw you guys I am taking my bat and ball and going to another series, like WEC'.

If not, they can consider kicking him off for someone else. They'll say "oh, we allowed you almost a season and a half. That's plenty of time to get used to"
    If Christian and Dr. Marko want Daniel in the RBR, great, they don't need to see him racing the next 6 months to make that decision. Daniel has proved himself to be decent enough and comparable to Checo. There's no point in see him racing.

    RB having gone out and getting Checho shows they might have changed their promotion policies. I dont see them getting a rookie beside max in 25 given they might be in a constructors fight from the get go, and none of their drivers seem particularly extraordinary. Its either Checo or Lawson in 25. And if Max was to leave in 26, they'll get Lando/Oscar or Russell. They really should have gotten Hulk earlier this year imo.

      Not sure what the hell happened after Silverstone but he was well on track to win that title this year. Only 17 though, but if Toto could bribe them to let him put Antonelli in at 17 I imagine Horner could too if he wanted. But coming fourth in F3 at 16, in your second year of car racing and being promoted straight from F4, equalling the all-time career wins record of four in your first season, absolutely creaming your 3-4 years older teammate who was the favourite to win the championship after being the highest placed rookie not promoted from the previous season after leading for many rounds, who was also the 2022 FRECA champion, well ahead of Bortoleto who is now knocking on the door to F1… you don’t do all that in your second season out of karting unless you’re something bloody special. Okay, it’s not Piastri, but he wasn’t 16 when he won F3. Winning it would’ve been nuts, but he was in contention.

    I get they want to keep things currently as is ,because of the money they get, but I feel like this whole drivers needing a seat situation could easily be solved by adding more teams. I can see things getting bottled up at some point by drivers with deep pockets and those with sponsorship money that those trying to make it will be left on the sidelines. Those waiting will also have to compete with those younger than them, so it just becomes a giant mess in the waiting room for those guys. Let’s also say all the teams are content with who they have for the next 5 years and no switches happen. Pretty much sucks for those waiting. For being a pinnacle of motor sports it sure is a mess and it’s getting more awkward each day with how they’re handling or going about things.

    @MrCarrera28 2 дня назад +1

    Red Bull have had success with two young drivers in Vettel and Verstappen and they can likely see the writing on the wall regarding MV leaving in the next year or so. Therefore they are trying to capture lightening in a bottle for a third time by picking a driver who will learn the ropes in the potential fallow period of the new rules in 2026 and maybe 2027 and be ready to take the reins when they get a competitive car again. Clearly Sergio Perez is not the driver they want to potentially take over as lead driver so need someone who can both replace Perez as a safe pair of hands but also step up and be lead driver in a year or two if required.
    There was significant talk that at the test they did earlier in the year with DR3 that he was not as fast as they liked, there seems to be a thought that Lawson is a safe pair of hands to be the second RB driver but may not be strong enough to take over as team leader should MV depart.
    They have a unique opportunity with 6 races left in 2024 to put someone in the second VCARB seat with a view of giving them a trial run for potential elevation to the main RB team in 2025, they need a driver who can be a safe pair of hands to bring the second Red Bull home in the points and who has enough potential to improve and take over as team leader at a later date. This is why Yuki has not been elevated as he is not seen as a future RB number 1 but could well be elevated to RB as a quasi number 2 to support the next superstar if MV leaves.

At least thats what i always understood, that keeping Max happy is obviously a huge goal of RB, even if that means sacrificing a place or two in the constructors. Especially with everything going on this year specifically, i imagine Max has way more sway in those discussion now than before bc of the fear he might just go somewhere else. In which case, losing the constructors to long term keep Max makes a TON of sense.
      Also any younger driver spells more mistakes, another learning curve which in itself is costly. That car is a handful. Obviously it can't continue like this forever with Perez but for now you can kinda reason why it has up to this point with the headaches of 2024 from a PR standpoint. Just head down keep Max content, win the drivers championship. Thats their main focus right now. They dont want to set off some kind of domino effect that upsets that prioritization of Max right now. It would, in retrospect, be seen as incredibly foolish.

      Yuki is too firey which is why RBR aren't interested. He will follow- meaning be dragged to- wherever Honda go

      Because Yuki is Honda bound and Redbull and Honda aren't together anymore so there is no obligation to put Yuki in the RB seat. It is not that hard to understand.
