Yuki was never going to get the seat. Feel for him because he’s had a great year but he got the original seat because of Honda and Marko/Horner are never going to put a partner’s guy in the top team. Think the Honda deal ends soonish anyway?
Lawson probably has more potential tbf but he’s pretty lucky to be getting the seat now. Kind of missed the boat to go after a bigger name / had already burnt bridges with the ones on the market by the time they made the call on Checo.

Been like this for a while, chucked Gasly and Albon before Perez got the gig, now they're already talking about binning Lawson even when Max is saying Lawson would be faster in the Racing Bulls, suggesting their car is better.

Aye Max is just that good. Just an average midfield team without him.

He’s been liking posts criticising the move too - reckon he is offski as soon as he can get the top drive at another top team.
There are rumours he's off to Aston Martin next year.
Yea Max was very clearly saying the RB car was probably better than Red Bulls after qualifying in China. No idea how Horner has the PR machine he does after last year but more really needs to be asked about the way they've handled drivers recently and the cars performance.
