If Sergio doesn't score podiums in most of the remaining races, I think it would make sense to buy out his contract. It seems worth putting Daniel in the car. If Perez performs, Daniel goes back to reserve driver and marketing duties, and takes the seat in 25.

Nah Checo contract ends after next year and I bet money he will be in the RB car but he won't be after his contract runs out.

My guess is Liam Lawson to RB, DR stays in AT with Yuki. This is either after a contract buyout of checo or after 2024.

It may take a bit of time for him to settle in but maybe RB can still afford to take that risk. I think he could be as good as Checo at least and Yuki has upside unlike Checo. Worst case scenario, if Yuki doesn’t perform they drop Yuki and replace him with Ricciardo (or Lawson if he is doing really well).

[@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158]

Yuki is a honda driver more than a redball driver, and he has yet to show he has the skill to sit in the redball car. if perez isnt performing and has broken by the pressure at redball. its unlikely yuki could handle it. they want someone to perform in that car. its also worth consdering hes 1-1 with ricardo. liam might yet out perform him

[@Romulus1001]

I don't see that happening. Yuki is a decent driver for F1 standards but Checo has wins under his belt plus has a marketing campaign behind him. Mexicans and Latin Americans are big fans of his so Red Bull can monetize off Checo. Yuki on the other hand, as good of a driver he is, I don't think he has the marketability that Checo or Daniel Ricciardo has. If it were up to me, I'd put Daniel and Liam in the Alpha Tauris for 2024 and see who is worth the Red Bull seat between Checo/Ricciardo/Liam.

[@LeJimster]

As long as Checo delivers that P2 in the championship he will remain another year. But if the season unfolds in the same way next year he might look to leave before ever being dropped. As for Liam he should be in the Alpha Tauri next year no matter who his team mate is. If Lawson is able to finish ahead of Yuki on merit and bag some points and Ricciardo does the same on his return it could be Yuki on the way out. I suspect that Ricciardo won't be doing anything special on his return though.. Which would be a tough position for Red Bull if the performance wasn't there.

Consider how he’s been in F1 for five years now. No wins, 1 pole position, and less than ten podiums so far. And he’s already credited with being on the same level as Max, George, Lewis, Fernando, Charles etc. I believe he’s a very good driver and maybe he can be a champion.

Liam’s performances in the 2 races have forced RedBull into a decision now, I always believe that RedBull will run Liam in super formula until the end of 2024 and then he’ll take Sergio’s seat for 2025, Liam’s the type of driver they’ll want in the lead as early as possible and not sitting in the midfield or back

[@joejoe8322]

Liam should go to AT first, rushing him into a RB seat to fast could have the same affect they had with Ocon. He didn't perform fast enough and he got canned only to go to Williams and then blossom.

[@simracing4simpletons978]

I’ve got it: Yuki goes to Aston Martin with Honda, Daniel stays at AT alongside Lawson

[@ElRamaxx]

Saying that RB has crafted a car that "suits max's driving style" just displays lack of racing knowledge. Good drivers have great instincts that makes them fast, but great drivers are able to adapt to the car, making them fast in every situation. RB development team is wise enough to recognize this and listen to max's feedback, knowing damn well that if the driver can handle such levels of grip in the front end of the car there is a lot of lap time available that others are simply not exploiting.

[@patepulkkinenvtec2403]

Exactly this. Also, I don't think Newey gives a shit how do the cars he designs fit the driving style of a certain driver, he only wants to build the fastest car possible.

[@ElRamaxx]

@@patepulkkinenvtec2403 Finally, someone that agrees lol. I remember reading some statement from Newey in which he says he enjoys working with max because of the creative freedom it allows him, knowing that no matter what goes in the car max will be able to cope, I presume.

[@TheAwsomeSawse]

Red Bull doesn’t want a teammate capable of beating Max (if they did they’d hire Fernando) they want a consistent 2nd place teammate and I’d say Perez has mostly delivered on that.

[@Roguescienceguy]

Each and every driver that got the seat next to Max, was highly praised as formidable. Max gets better every year. This Verstappen would butcher any of the number two drivers from the topteams. Guys like Carlos, Stroll, Hamilton. You know, those guys

in my opinion Yuki is not a driver for a top team. He is good enough to be in F1 , midfield team. When he can get control over his emotions during races.. well that is the stap he has to make to get better.

[@davidreichert9392]

He has a LOT of maturing to do, though he has made some strides in that respect this year.

[@BlissifiedHH]

Hate to say it... but i think Yuki wont get another season in AT nor get promoted to RB. RB really hope for Danny and they believe in him alot, and although Yuki has improved i still think RB see the whole thing that Yuki couldnt get very close to Gasly and we all know how it went for Gasly in his RB stint. And given Liam has always been a very very promising guy for RB and Danny is not only good, but also loved and they know what he can do. I wont be surprised if Yuki is out after 2023

[@josephhynes5874]

[@BlissifiedHH]

@@prototype.3324 You never know, i wouldnt be surprised if it does. RB want talent and fast, Yuki is on his 3rd season and is now performing well, Lawson has done 1 proper weekend and is already doing well, Danny also did well in his first races, and they know Danny is really good and kept up with Max back at RB

[@lefreeman3283]

I thought Liam should have been in there at beginning of year. I understand them going with Riccardo in middle of the year but I think Lawson will put up better results than Riccardo of given full chance

[@thegridgab]

AlphaTauri should definitely try to hang on to Lawson. He's held his own in the last 2 Grand Prix's and should score points soon hopefully

[@andrewmcgregor9590]

If Lawson doesn’t get AT drive, Williams will snap him up for Sargent or Mclaren will take him for Norris if he ends up at RBR.

[@GameHive94]

I think give Yuki the Red Bull seat for next year and give Liam Lawson the Alpha Tauri seat alongside Daniel.

[@Loki-sk7bi]

This is a sign for Red Bull to boot Ricciardo out. Just let him to PR and background work which he is suited for the most.

[@rizzen7]

I think how Lawson does in Singapore will cement his near future more then anything. Monza tested his speed and aggression, and Singapore will test his endurance and consistency.

[@hagamapama]

I kinda feel like we got a taste of endurance and consistency with Zandvoort with a half decent finish in the changeable weather. IMHO, Singapore is where Liam gets a chance to prove he's the complete package.

[@joejoe8322]

Checo won't go to Audi, they're talking Carlos because his dad already drives for them in rally cars. Bring Vettel back and have a German driver in a German car. He seemed too excited getting back into a car at Goodwood and recently at the Nurbergring.

I hate the argument that he car is made "for" max, It's simply made pointy which is a quicker car than one which understeers, Perez just can't handle that pointy front and thus is struggling, He's more comfortable with a car that understeers and he can win time on exits and tyre life.

Genuine question - why do many people think Danny is going to step into that Red Bull seat? I fail to see what exactly he has done - recently - that merits it? (I get he’s driven for them before, but that doesn’t seem like a strong enough reason to me. As for him beating Max, I feel we can’t compare Max now and Max then!)

[@dislexyc]

I heard this argument 1 year ago and look how that ended up

[@JHorkan]

Someone has a crystal ball!

[@joejoe8322]

It's not that the RB19 is built around Max's driving style according to Newey. He says that he builds the car to go as fast as it can, it's just the fact Max has the ability to adapt his driving style to maximize the performance of the car. I'm tired of hearing people say that the car is built around Max. Newey also said their are only a few drivers that are capable of adapting there driving style to different cars, he named Max and Alonso as a couple of those kind of drivers. Look at the trouble Daniel had in the mclaren, he even admitted he just couldn't adapt to the car, lewis is another driver who just couldn't adapt very quickly to the new direction mercedes went last year, russell had a lot less difficulty and out performed lewis. Does that mean he is a better driver, probably not but he just found it easier to adapt his style to the car.

[@-Troy-]

He has always been a good driver, he just never had chances to drive in F1, now he’s in it Dr Helmut might feel the fomo same as Devries - might be a good problem 3 drivers for 2 seats

[@davidreichert9392]

Liam has been good, but not so great that it would cause RB to shake up their driver plans. And Yuki is skilled enough for the Red Bull seat, but nowhere near mature enough.

[@qwj68boots]

Yup. Somewhere I've read Marko is not too keen on him being in the #2 seat. There it is. Racing wise, IF Perez is shown the door, Lawson would benefit the most in that seat opposite Max. Keep him honest...

[@rofalmatt]

Checo out, Yuki in. Checo has been disappointing all season and Yuki has more than enough experience now, it's time to see if he's got what it takes. Ricciardo and Lawson at Alpha Tauri, with the possibility of swapping one of them in for Yuki over the summer break if he can't hack it.

[@alejandroromo6577]

redbull second seat should go to some one older and good point scorer but not a championship contander (checo or daniel ricciardo if he can perform like checo) liam and yuki should go some where that has champion ship potenial and a team where they will be number one driver , like sebastian vettel move to redbull, only haas doesnt have a young talent but haas wining championship is a low possiblity atleast for now

On that "Send it" was it ego ? or Ability ? DR to Ferrari with Carlos to Audi/Sauber - probably worth thinking about ESPECIALLY with the current leadership of the Red Machine ( ok it had some Yellow & Black )

[@josephhynes5874]

The best path forward is to put Danny Ricc in that RB for 2024 and Liam in that AlphaTauri. Danny will do as well as Checo has, and he is also a goodwill/marketing/PR machine. I hope RB are brave and go this route. I don't think Williams will take on Lawson if he continues to have ties to RB (where Liam can be yanked back to the mothership with just a phone call). Palou could easily wind up in Sargeant's seat next year, however.

[@edsontrujillo2247]

Checo has been performing well enough to be 2nd in the constructors. He has a contract for next year. No reason for Redbull to take such a big risk putting a guy with a horrible recent track record in Checos seat. Stop saying dumb shit just because you like Danny as a person lol.

I'm not so sure about Albon or Gasly returning though $tranger thing$ have certainly occurred. If Lando goes, he concedes he won't be a WDC and gives the reins to Oscar over at McLaren. Either way, shit's gonna get hot soon...and if Stroll leaves...whew

Here is what RB should do: Go to Lance Stroll, buy him out of his contract and then fire him. They are very good at fireing people. Maybe then they can give either yuki, liam, danny or perez to ashton, so that fernando isn't carrying the team alone any more. That would solve RBs problem and the problem of every single F1 fan out there.

it would be cool if on the chance red bull drops Perez, they give Yuki like a 5 race deal in RB with a guaranteed AT backup if it doesn't go too well, and in those 5 races, test out someone else in the other AT seat. If it DOES go well, then Yuki just bagged himself a seat at the top team

now even tsunoda i would have expected to be in pretty comfortable place in aplha tauri is starting to feel pressureand also I dont think perez would be driving rb in 2025 but he will fullfill the contract im expecting daniel will join max to red bull and At or whatever team is going to be called is filled by tsunoda and lawson

[@tonamg53]

I think Helmut Marko said very clearly that if Checo is able to get 2nd in the championship, he gets to keep the seat… So basically, no the seat is not confirm. It will be Checo’s seat if he can comfortably get the 2nd place, if not then he lose the seat. If he can just barely get 2nd… then I think it depends. Not sure why people seems to always ignore what Helmut Marko said and then blame him for not keeping his words when they didn’t even listen to him in the first place 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sahilthomasbara]

Controversial take for 2024 but hear me out - Max and Daniel in redbull and Yuki and Lawson in alphatauri. As for Perez situation either retirement for the sport or a backmarker team. Could be sauber as he's been there before or maybe Williams

[@officialWWM]

It’s not a problem at all. An Aussie and a kiwi in the Alpha Tauri is a match made in heaven and would certainly grow the sport in the Southern Hemisphere. Yuki is out of contract at the end of the year, so he will be off to Honda…
