Lawson and Tsunoda switch places, Yuki now in the big boy seat at Red Bull.

This should answer if it really is the car, if it's just not drivable. Surely Yuki just has to focus on finishing a race in the top 10, don't try to show off if the car is tough to drive.

That car is tough to drive. But I think he should have the experience to bring it home in the points. But checo shit the bed with all that experience last season.

Albon spoke about this a year ago i think.
Basicly they built the car to Max's liking and its how to word it, very sensitive and volatile to drive. Ofc they listen to Max how he likes things to be but at same time for the other driver its very hard and once you make a mistake or two, pressure to perform builds and you start to take risks. Think pretty much every nr 2 driver Max had, looked much better before and after being at RB with Max. (Only exception being Max first season when Ricciardo beat him).

Then there is the whole drama going on at RB, Hohner and Jos being the center of it. (Few key people like Newey and Weatley left).
Helmut Marko also likes to comment on alot of stuff and not always positive stuff.
New rules next season and not good signs about development for next RB car, hence rumours of Max leaving after this season picking up steam.

I forgot what a great track Suzuka is.
The uphill esses are special and the rest is so high-speed, throwing in a couple of chicanes for good measure.
I’d love to get out there in my Cobra.

Max out in a great quali la to take pole. I’ll stay up a bit to watch the race and see how it goes.

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

damn, I'll try to catch the first few laps but honestly, after an exhausting bike ride today followed by
copious amounts of alcohol and 'other things', might be a stretch.

and then tour of flanders early am as well.

Any race which is in our timezone. Don't bugger it up by getting all you know what.

 

[fingercuffs]

[Yoricks Wisdom]

Aren’t you in California?

 

[fingercuffs]

Aren’t you in California?

Yes. I used to rent a room in a SB in Amsterdam with friends but we don't get many awake o'clock races here

Piastri’s star rising, Max not so much.

Both Haas cars with points? Bravo!

[rearnakedchoke]

I think piastri is the more composed driver. And less whiny.

Max leaving redbull at end of season. Mostl likely Aston so newey can build another car around him. Should be interesting. I guess Fernando would retire?

Alonso, the Ageless One

Regardless of networth. Who can say no to crazy money to do something you love. I’d go until I could afford my own team. Which he probably can. At least partial.

Norris in the wall in Q3. If piastri wins, McLaren need to make him number one driver. I know it’s early, but forget papaya rules.

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

lol mustve forgotten this track..27 turns?!

one...after...another. unforgiving as well.

shame for Norris, got on the gas too soon after riding the berm IMO
