Why at least one Red Bull F1 driver is getting dropped

Рет қаралды 347,598

Күн бұрын

Five into three just won’t go in the fight to land Red Bull F1 seats in 2025, and within that equation is the inevitable outcome that one current Red Bull driver will be dropped this year.
Both Red Bull’s main team and its second outfit have key roles to play in the F1 silly season that has started unusually early in 2024.
How that shakes out is going to be massively influenced by what Red Bull does. And two recent revelations mean we now know exactly what its choices are - which guarantees disappointment is on the cards for some of the drivers in contention.

Depends on who wins the power struggle at Red Bull. If Horner, Danny Ric stays to partner Max. If Marko, then Danny goes and Lawson partners Yuki. The best thing for the sport is for Thai Red Bull to run the main team with Horner, and Austrian Red Bull run the "baby team". This solves the ownership issue, and stops the backroom fights. If Max is aligned to Marko, let him join the "baby team" and swap with Danny Ric.

Sainz and perez want multi year deals. Redbull is offering them both only 1yr deals. Lucrative part of sainz's audi deal is that its a multi year deal. Mercedes are looking to send antonelli to williams for a year to find his footing in F1 and also offered sainz a 1yr deal

I have a feeling that Yuki is going to be let go. Lawson has to get a seat, I think Red Bull will want to keep Ricciardo. We all know the main reason Yuki is with the team is bc Red Bulls partnership with Honda and with Honda teaming up with Aston for 2026. Red Bull letting go of Yuki a year earlier wouldn't surprise me.

Sainz to Red Bull Lawson to V-CARB Tsunoda and Perez to Audi imo I don't think Danny Ric deserves that seat but he's the 2nd favourite child of Red Bull. This way everyone stays in F1 and Audi get a dope line up to break into the competition.

It all depends on how patient and how likely Helmut and Jos can displace Christian in their current team in the short run, whether other teams offer them more influential positions, whether established drivers like Carlos feel comfortable being Helmut's proxy, and whether Max's loyalty rests in Christian or his father. If Helmut and Jos goes, they may bring with them Max and Liam. If they stay, they'll need to look for a driver loyal to them, and look for ways to sabotage and replace Christian's Sergio or Daniel.

Knowing Marko's recent form they'll probably retain the 2 who do the best job in Abu Dhabi and replace the other with Lawson, assuming another random F2/reserve driver doesn't get drafted on and impress before the end of the season.

Ricciardo's charisma and history are blinding us all. We all want to see the great comeback he's selling us since he left Renault and I think we fail to see that it may never happen and drivers like Pérez or Lawson are better suited for Red Bull than Ricciardo.

The whole thing about every single rookie being the second coming is so tiring. I guess hype works for fans whos first race was the last one, but in the last few decades, every single rookie is promoted the same, yet there has only been 4.. shumacher (rip), alonso, hamilton, and now verstappen. Every other driver last literally in fact been a mid tier driver after they get more experience in the car and stop being young and bad drivers.

@andyelliott3198 Ай бұрын

I think Red Bull will offer Perez a one year extension and he will either take it, go elsewhere or retire from F1. If Checo does leave then I would choose Tsunoda to partner Verstappen, and have experienced Ricciardo staying at RB alongside Lawson. Daniel has had his time at Red Bull so I think it's time Yuki got the call up, he deserves his shot at the sharp end. I think Sainz will be at Audi alongside Hulkenberg in 2025, Carlos at Aston Martin would be a great move, but that all depends on what Laurence Stroll wants to do with his son Lance.

@kyperactive I'd just argue at the very top of motorsport, such an experienced driver needs to be at 100% to justify their seat. Losing to two rookies two seasons in a row (assuming he doesn't pull it together this season) Is a bad look, and is plenty of time to get where he needs to be. It's not like he's just having dumb mistakes (which he is), he is just off the pace. I think he needs nothing short of a miraculous turnaround for it to make any sense.

I think The Race analysis of Tsunoda is completely wrong. It was clear there was something amiss with Yuki's car this weekend. Could it be shenanigans to improve DR's confidence at a track where he can be good and any "tweaking" of Yuki's car swapping the order could be chalked up to DR being good at Shanghai historically? Definitely something dodgy going on. Whatever the case, DR was not on for a top ten at any point in the race. I wish we could have see him run to the end as the prediction was for him to finish 14th at best. Now we shall never know.

@@halofreak1990 I wasn’t making that actual point halo although it is a fair observation. No, my point is that in F1 if you score the maximum constructors points each race (ie via a team one two) then obviously no other team can even hope to get close. Hence that season’s WCC would soon be guaranteed again for RB, still with quite a few races in hand. That’s all Christian needs to do and Checo will then be allowed to keep his seat.

Contrary to Helmut Mark's threat to oust Daniel Ricciardo, the fact remains that Dr was the only F1 racing driver to put so much pressure onto MV, that it actually caused a collision between the two Red Bull's at Azerbaijan while Ricciardo was in Verstappen's slipstream after DRS on the main straight to pass him, and MV made an illegal second move in order to block Dr from passing at the end of the main straight. DR came to within one tenth of a second to MV's qualifying time on a test run in the RB19 last year, before he joined the sister team as a driver. The best option for the second seat at RB, remains to be DR. Nobody else comes close.

@johansmit4447 Ай бұрын

There is a very good possibility that Yuki Tsunoda will leave his current team for the AMR team when the Honda engine will become part of the AMR team in 2026, so it will be foolish to get rid of DR now, while he could partner Liam Lawson after YT's departure from the team.
