[@lukewood2662]

Like he said when leaving Racing point, "don't cry because is over. Smile because it happened" I'll still remember how he defended from Hamilton in Abu Dhabi 2021, he was the one that made Lewis unable to pit for soft tyres and created the huge tire advantage for Max that gave him a shot at the title. His peak in F1 was nice to watch.

Perez had plenty of banger drives in his time there, but us racing fans can barely remember more than 2 races back so he was considered retroactively trash.

yuki never seemed to be a possibility to go to RB. it just appeared to be politically impossible. perhaps yuki just didn't mesh well with marko and horner which we know is absolutely crucial. heck, i'd say ricciardo has a better chance of a return than yuki has to make it to red bull. it's not to say that yuki hasn't performed well, just that he never seemed to be chosen anyway. it's most likely lawson.

[@zlm001]

I still think that the new regulations should be microhybrid, where the power train is built around a V8 or V10, but teams can add 40 kg of motors+batteries. It would encourage teams to come up with lighter batteries and motors however they see fit, but electrification won't dominate the car. It's kind of what you see with modern cars. Teams will still be encouraged to squeeze the most out of the limited weight budget if 40 kg for battery and motor, and the electronics will help, but they won't necessarily make or break the car. It would also help in significantly reducing the weight since they can only have 40 kg (or whatever they choose) of batteries and electric motors. This would encourage innovation without ruining the sport and would keep the cars closer to the hybrids coming out in the future. The cost cap will make sure things don't get out of hand spending wise. I would postpone the new rules a year or two and scrap the current 2026 plans for the microhybrid plan. I'm not sure if the V8 or V10 should be naturally aspirated or not.

[@bigsmooshflopdong33]

If you include a bio fuel source, you just may be onto something with this. Bringing back v8's or v10's for the sack of the sound and the show is on everyone's wishlist. Keeping the hybrid aspect there but more open to interpretation will just move hybrid technology further in the right direction and spot on with how the actual car industry is going. This is a pretty great starting point, you get my vote dude.

[@guttsu]

Colapinto did more for Williams in the first couple races than Sargeant did in nearly 2 seasons, with less total crashes. I think he did fine.

[@BrokeAndSquare]

Comparing Yuki’s first races to Liam’s isn’t apples to apples as Yuki had less wheel time in junior categories than anyone in recent memory.

[@TommoMcCluskey]

Japanese F4, F3 & F2 - I mean it's not bad. It's more than Max or Kimi Raikkonen had.

[@BrokeAndSquare]

@ True, but Yuki is not a Raikkonen/Verstappen-level talent. Meanwhile Liam had over 250 races in 4 wheeled racecars before his first F1 race. Which might be why RBR seem comfortable with him. I agree with your other points though.

[@DadadaduhMaxVerstappen]

Colapinto was in f3 in 2023 yet shone arguably better than Yuki did in his first ‘x’ races

[@BrokeAndSquare]

@DadadaduhMaxVerstappen Colapinto crashed even more than rookie Tsunoda in a shorter amount of time too. There's a balance.

[@barbarah2235]

@@BrokeAndSquareI can only think of 2 crashes this season that were his fault and of course he is responsible for that. I have also seen his telemetry compared to both Lawson and Tsunoda and he is quite ahead with less experience and a lesser car. If he can be polished in that sense (being a bit less pushy with the limits), he would be a complete package: fast, unafraid, extremely likeable personality, marketable and followed by big sponsors

[@nathansky8017]

23:50 recency bias. When you actually compare Liam's 11 GPs to Yuki's first 11, you find that Yuki had a 9th, a 12th, a 15th, a DNF, a 16th, a 17th, a 13th, a 10th, a 12th, a 10th and a 6th for a total of 12 points And Liam has had a 13th, an 11th, a 9th, an 11th, a 17th, a 9th, a 16th, a 9th, a 16th, a 14th, and a 17th for a total of 6 points. Yuki has had MUCH better highs and equal lows (DNF 2021 Spain was engine failure, not crash) So no, I don't wanna hear the hype on Lawson, Yuki was better when he came in and only one DNF happened because of a collision in 2021. And let's also not forget that last year we were all on board with "points down to p12 so Yuki can have actual points instead of p11 all the time" I'm actually at the point where I'm rooting for Liam to fail (if he gets selected) just so that all of you can learn that Yuki was the correct choice Edit: changed 18pts to 12pts as someone correctly pointed out. My bad for the horrible maths 😭😭

[@kyrie6910]

As a fellow Yuki fan, I do completely agree with you. I will say though, the two cars that Yuki and Lawson drove for their first 11 races were at very different points in the midfield. Gasly showed that that AT was VERY fast. Just pointing it out, don't want to start anything.

[@TheCheese120]

Comparing first x races in different cars in different seasons isn't a great argument anyway. Bearman has more points from 3 races than Max had from his first. Doesn't mean Ollie is a better driver than Max.

[@colhutchins]

I would still throw Ricciardo in there. Yuki deserves it, but if they aren't doing that give Ricciardo a crack, Liam gets a little more time in RB to prep for Redbull. BUT... They should have thrown Ricciardo in mid year 24, if he went well give him 25. Liam gets another year in RB. If he went shit, he got a good marketable send off and Liam would have had a full 6 months in RB.

Hadjar is going to drive the Torro rosso next year. Lawson the Red Bull seat. It was decided befor the FIA gala in Rwanda.

[@Kira-29]

Thank you so much for the immediate livestream! Always a pleasure to be live :) Imo Red Bull messed it up 2 years ago with the de Vries/Ric decision. If they would have gave Liam the seat full season, we would have had a lot longer to judge his skills and he would have been more prepared as well. Now Yuki and Liam couldnt properly show against each other who would be the better fit :/ The Albon move to RB as Karun hinted would be very interesting and I would like to see that, because then Colapinto would drive in F1 instead of Hadjar. And Albon could enjoy some success without worrying about beating his teammate. But of course it is very unlikely to happen. Have a nice christmas time, Tommo :)

[@SOrme_C135]

Great analysis/commentary Tommo. Best of luck to Checo, an excellent opportunity for Checo and RBR to enjoy a refresh, and time to start speculating on RBR 2025 (and beyond)! Yuki should get the seat but likely it will be Liam (there are a lot of factors going into that). Hope the fans don't go rabid at Liam if he gets chosen over Yuki as everyone understands the pressure cooker environment of being in the second seat next to Max (regardless of established skill and temperament). I mean consistently getting a podium position (2nd tier option...top 5) for an entire season would be a definitive victory for a second seater at RBR. Cheers!

[@alanmonaghan8970]

If they don't promote Yuki then they may as well fire him from the "feeder" team, can't be a career rookie. Rather get an actual rookie in to develop

[@kingzee7014]

[@David_Larkin]

[@theread3480]

They aren’t going to give the seat to a driver that’s there in the first place because of Honda when Honda is leaving soon

[@BwInNewJersey]

The term ‘Deserve’ does not apply to professional sports.

[@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158]

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how exactly did Tsunoda "deserve" place in Red Bull. His career so far is a textbook definition of nothing special. Across his 4 seasons in F1, I can only think of one race where I can say that he performed really well and that's Abu Dhabi 2021. Since then - nothing to write home about.

[@Anvil35]

Please how Lawson finishing 14th and not racing a full year is more impressive than Yuki?

[@Banyo__]

All F1 Drivers take note: yelling at the media that "you have a contract," or "you're still here," is about as useless as a toddler on ice skates. What is useful is ensuring when you sign with a team, that your half of that contract is printed in gold so you can get that payout when they inevitably kick you out and we're not longer talking about you three months later.

[@randyrandleman5653]

Something I haven't seen mentioned about why RBR might have chosen Lawson is his adaptability. Everyone is always talking about how difficult to driver the RBR car is, maybe they think Lawson has the skills to adapt to the difficult car that Max seems to like better than Tsunoda. Lawson has proven to be very fast across multiple categories. His last 3 full racing seasons he finished 3rd in F2, 2nd in DTM (as a rookie and crushing teammate Albon), and 2nd in Super Formula (as a rookie), that's great performance in 3 very different cars.

[@motelghost477]

Your parrot has too many legs and not enough wings.

[@Anvil35]

What’s the point of “developing” a Driver in your 2nd team for 4 years only to give the promotion to the guy who hasn’t finished a full year? Lawsons performances were nowhere near Verstappens in the TR in 2015/16. Don’t RB want a driver who is experienced enough and who is considered a veteran compared to the new Drivers coming in to that that seat? The Honda question becomes irrelevant, they have said they are happy to let Yuki go to RB when they leave their arrangement. Yuki has become a popular driver from a marketable region in the world. Of course there’s unknowns and either Lawson or Yuki can turn into a Gasly 2019 or Albon 2020. But what’s the point of having the 2nd team if you are hesitant to promote the next guy up?

[@bigsmooshflopdong33]

Because Lawson only has 11 races with the team and is showing to be fairly close to Yuki who's been there for 4 years with 87 races. One would have to assume Lawson has more room to grow than Yuki. Also don't think Yuki has had a fully consistent season in 4 years with the team, and consistency is exactly what redbull needs. Perez has already been wildly inconsistent this year. If Lawson doesn't perform Redbull will just as easily replace him as well, examples being Gasly and Albon.

[@alsolaniccal]

@@bigsmooshflopdong33 And indeed if Lawson doesn't perform, they will replace him with Yuki. No shot Hadjar gets the seat. So in this case, why not let Liam marinate a bit more and give Yuki the chance to prove himself at the top team. They can always swap drivers, but you go with your experienced hand for stability here.

[@bigsmooshflopdong33]

@@alsolaniccal Because of how close Lawson is Yuki already. After 4 years Yuki still hasn't hit the benchmarks he needs. While Lawson is definitely a gamble, it's potentially a gamble worth the risk, especially with the late decision and very limited driver options. After 4 seasons there still isn't enough consistency from Yuki, and after 4 years in the sport how much more growth does one expect to see from Yuki? With Lawson there is at least some promise of him being able to grow more with more with each race weekend. It's a risk for sure, but with Yuki there is no risk at all, by which I mean they already know exactly what they would get with him in the car, they have 4 years of data and that's not been enough. There's also the whole Honda factor, which feels like the whole reason he is even there currently.

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

Because the reality is, the time for “development” was over after 2022. After that he found his level- the midfield

[@kevinjones7870]

Sad that Checo won't be on the grid when someone like Stroll keeps a seat he doesn't deserve year after year, but sadly Checo didn't pull his weight this year and arguably he should have been dropped before the summer break. His first 6 races gave him over 100 points which is respectable, but in the remaining 18 races I think he only scored 49 so he wasn't getting enough out of the car

[@BalintM7898]

He didn't even get a proper goodbye, like he helped so much for Max troughout the years, especially in 2021 if we see his succesful moments. Multiply race winning driver would deserve a bit more, just like Danny Ric could have deserved a bit nicer goodbye. It's a bit strange to me.

Perez at Red Bull was a good fit when they had a 0.7 second gap to the field. Then Checo could be 0.5s slower than Max and still finish in 2nd place on his good days. While Max would never be threatened. Now I guess Red Bull want someone who will be only 0.1s or 0.2s slower than Max.

[@michaelnorman400]

When is Theo Pourchare going to get a seat. It’s gotta be a matter of time

[@stevengreen463]

The reason why Lawson will be chosen over Yuki is because he's more than likely going to cause less issues for Max than Yuki could. Think about it, Max is the face and brand of Red Bull, so anything that could disrupt that winning way whatsoever they will do anything to avoid - even if it means picking the subpar driver. That's exactly why they didn't try to get Sainz.

[@jackelofnar]

Comes down to the fact that the leaders of RedBull don't think Yuki is mentally strong enough to deal with the pressure

[@nateyguy288]

Im still really hoping Yuki gets the drive because lets be real if he lasted two years in that seat it would make him the second longest second driver to verstappen and i really dont think RedBull should be ignoring that fact or thinking that the driver they put in there will be staying in that seat as long as checo did i just dont see it happening because they are either a good number 2 and stay until they stop being a good number 2, they are a bad number 2 and leave early, or they are another danny ric and things get contentious again to the point where they have to choose to keep a multiple world champ or a number two driver and liam will have a hunger that means they end up losing a good driver cause they promote too early but if they get the timing right he can havea year or two next to max then become the russel to their mercedes that takes over the team in his wake, i also feel like RedBull has not done enough internally to have changed from the team that almost broke gasly and albon who we now know are two highly rated drivers so adding Liams name to that list would be a shame so it just seems like a ton of jeopardy if the pick liam but less if they pick yuki cause its okay for them if yuki fails but not so much if liam does

I'll put it this way, if Ricciardo gets beaten pillar to post for not adapting, and he went through 3 teams during the same time as Checo, why tf does Checo get all the "Oh he just needs more help, the car just isn't right for him", as if it's not his JOB to adapt his driving to drive the best car in the field the fastest he can? Been an abject failure of a partnership, and maybe he still has it in a different car, but it's not worth it, if he was at least competent the sponsors would be worth it, but he clearly is atrocious when he's not in a car he likes.

[@FCB001]

Biggest disgrace is Lance Stroll still having a seat

[@SaintGBar22]

Hulkenberg needs to go next.

[@shulamitweinstock6649]

Liam is not even near Checo… enjoy, no Latin American drivers, I do hope we all loose interests in the sport that only supports English and European drivers… enjoyed watching you but not any more

[@magdelinem6962]

Checo cost the team constructors championship hellooo You are only good as you're last race.🤷🙄

[@leighdonald3112]

YOU don't actually know what are "waffling" on about tommo? Do you ..... hmmm .... did Cheko win an actual (real race?) or was he just a back up in case a mechanical malfunction caused Max an issue ? You've no idea at all, I like your content most of the time, but your theories behind it are VERY suspect. Keep it up but think about the content you provide to the audience, it needs some thought/work.

[@thiagogrillonsanchez]

Tommo do you think Liam can do a better job than checo? If so what should we except from HIM?🤔🤔🫡🫡
