[@emmanuelsengo684]

This drivers’ situation could have been avoided if they had chosen to put Lawson in the VCARB seat last year when they sacked de Vries, instead of reviving Daniel’s career. That way, they could have evaluated Lawson and placed him in that second Red Bull seat after the summer break, instead of dealing with this costly and messy situation.

[@Sauceyjames]

Racing Bulls might be in 6th instead of Haas because of it. Daniel was saying the behind the scenes stuff with racing was too hard on him. Prob would have helped having one driver doing all that racing focus instead of that and media appearances.

[@jarnomeekes6756]

I hate how money keeps perez in his seat. If youre losing championships because of said sponsored driver then why bother competing at all?

[@nebojsadurmanovic2268]

I think he sells tons of Red Bull cans in Mexico.

[@ashaide]

Because if the money from the sponsors of Perez offsets the money lost from losing even P2 in the WCC, then that's definitely a win. Add to the fact that you lose testing and research time the higher you go up the rankings of WCC. The bad form of the RB20 could be attributed to RB Main getting WCC pole two in a row PLUS penalties from exceeding the cost cap. With Newey not around anymore to "correct" any... misconceptions about the aero of the cars, especially leading to 2026, that P3, if mitigated by money from sponsors, gives the RB tech team more time, literally, to do testing, especially the increased Wind Tunnel time. And don't forget that RBR will be its own engine manufacturer in 2026. They DEFINITELY need all the testing time they can get. Also, unlike the other teams in the grid except for Haas, RBR is a marketing tool for the drink. It sells EXPERIENCES and personalities. There is no Red Bull car on the road that can benefit from the Constructors, but marketing the energy drink will always hinge on it being associated with champion extreme athletes. Plus, Checo sells loads of the cans in Latin America, Mexico, and North America.

[@igehay4977]

It’s not only that, it’s that Red Bull is unbelievably suited to Max & no other driver can driver a car with such a sharp front end. Albon, Gasly & Perez are not mugs, it’s just the car not built for two drivers. Just for ONE

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Sainz to RB and Colapinto to Williams would be the best lineup and good for Red Bull if it’s still possible but Sainz needs Santander to back him up.

[@TheDevnul]

There’s an out clause in Perez contract that if he has less than half the points of Max mid season they can replace him. This has already happened. Please F1, no more drivers that are brought in by sponsors. Eject Tsunoda, Perez, Zhou and Stroll.

[@nert-13]

This higher production value video is EXACTLY what this channel needs

[@brunobrites]

Liam is alright, Colapinto is special. Loving this.

[@soundscape26]

So Lawson would barely have any time to settle in that 2nd Red Bull with Colapinto looking over his shoulder right from the start. Cue the "should Colapinto replace Lawson?" discussions for next season.

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

Absolutely. It just feels like we'd end up back on the merry-go-round where RB drivers were being promoted to Red Bull and demoted back to RB every five minutes.

[@ralphhathaway-coley5460]

Colapinto to VCARB makes a lot of sense, but pushing Lawson to RB without a year in VCARB to 'bed in' could be a bad move for Lawson who is undoubtedly a very good driver, but RB do have a rep for chewing up drivers in a toxic environment who then went somewhere else less toxic and do very well. Audi would definitely benefit from Botas's experience especially as they are going to be developing the car pretty much from the ground up as a newbie team, given what they are starting from, car wise.

[@hectorshouse7348]

Yeah…Max will crush him…he crushes everyone…he’s the new standard

Max Verstappen's nickname during his first two years was "Crashstappen" in the sport. Rookies crashing cars is very much normal and does not reflect on their potential to become WDCs later down the line. Schumacher deserves a fair shot at a team that isn't Haas. Not with Red Bull tho.

[@LetoxxIant]

@@PsychedeliKompot he had his time, he had chances latest was Alpine and he lost against another rookie in the test drive. I think that finally is saying enough about his potential. As a German F1 fan I am tired of hearing his name mentioned for every free seat. He is not and will never be his father. His potential is less than that of Ralf Schumachers back in his days.

[@GonzoM1A1]

RB has no faith in it's Junior program, but that's not news

[@f1-mag]

Nah that is Alpine. First time ever they have promoted a junior is Doohan. Or technically it was Oscar lol. RB actually gives their drivers a chance.

[@matthewkalokitis8778]

I definitely can see the move happening but I feel like the one thing no one is talking about is how giving colapinto to RB means Williams is potentially improving one of their closest championship rivals. I know they have ambitions to challenge the top teams but right now (and 2025 at least) that’s not happening. The pay day for letting him go may equate to more money than they’d get in prize money for moving up the standings, rendering this a moot point, but hard to say at this juncture.

[@guitarsimon1]

Honestly I think the more Red Bull move would be to put Colapinto in the RBR seat, he seems at least on Lawson's level speed wise, comes across as more charismatic and marketable (no offense Liam) and has a much bigger home base demographic/population wise, he's kind of all the best aspects of Red Bull's existing and past drivers rolled into one!

[@James-gx9gn]

He isn't ideal because there are other Redbull juniors who are doing well in lower formula series. The Redbull junior ladder has taken a bit of a beating over the last couple of years with VCARB using De Vries and Ricciardo. If they choose Colapinto, Red Bull risk alienating future talent that might consider joining their program especially with drivers like Hadjar in the hunt for the F2 title.

[@felipeperez3744]

The ideal signing at RB should be someone who speaks loud and clear enough to tell car designers "let's desing a car such that both drivers can perform AND develop it through the year in such a way BOTH drivers can perform". Something like 2022 car development: both drivers can cope with it and produce good results. If you do not believe me, just search about 2022 season and watch the main GP results.

[@f1-mag]

Yeah because the car was understeery the first part of the season. Checo was alright in keeping up but Max still had the edge. But Max probably wouldn’t had been as dominant if the car stayed like that. It became faster because of the sharper front end and Max pulled away while Checo stayed at the same level pretty much. So why hold back Max if he is the one that actually gives the team the results.

[@lokabens4440]

Is this grid for 2026 Crazy or Not Red Bull: Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri Ferrari: Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc Mercedes: George Russell, Kimi Antonelli MacLaren: Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz Aston Martin: Stroll (of course) Alonso Alpine: Doohan, Gasly Haas: Ocon, Bearman V Carb: Lawson, Tsunoda Audi: Hulkenburg, Colapinto Williams: Albon, Hadjar

[@michaelhall7380]

[@HabitualLine-Stepper]

Marko: I like you the moment I laid eyes on you - I say "He's a tiger, he belongs to me"... I want you to be my #2 driver... Colapinto: What about Sergio, Helmut? What are you going to do about Sergio? Marko: Sergio is not going to last; he's finished... Just think about it, OK?

[@gavlptvbk8665]

With Red Bull not being dominant anymore the second driver becomes more important again, so we could have another Red Bull merry-go-round again next season. Lawson really needs more time to prove himself at Vcarb otherwise he could get quickly get spat out of F1 if it doesn’t go well at Red Bull.

[@lostcarpark]

I'm dubious about Williams letting him go without a clause that lets them bring him back if they need him, and I think Red Bull would never take him without full control.

[@re14437]

Accurate indictment of Marko. It was easy for RB fans to love him when things were going well. But his true negative impact has been revealed the last few years. Why is he still around?

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

Colapinto would be mad to sign with Red Bull. They chew up and spit out drivers at an astonishing rate and the last time they signed a Williams refugee he was fired less than halfway through the following season. To date only four drivers (Vettel, Ricciardo, Verstappen and Sainz) have ever managed to parley a drive with Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri/RB into a sustained, successful F1 career and one of them (Sainz) had to jump ship to a different team to do it (the jury is out on whether Albon will end up joining that group, my money is on no but again, even if he does his success will be despite Red Bull's involvement rather than because of it). If there's a prospect of a drive ANYWHERE else, even if it means waiting until 2026, I'd be investigating that first and only taking the Red Bull shilling if I had literally no other options for staying in F1.

[@SeraphineTheD6Queen]

"it would be a win for everyone except perez" uh and me, i'm not a red bull fan, i don't wanna cheer for red bull, but Franco is my favourite driver on the grid right now >.< very narrow of you not to consider my very valid feelings on this matter smh my head jokes aside it would be great for Franco to get a seat on the grid regardless of team

[@gror7849]

I am a Williams fan since '93, and could not be more happy with the team resurgence under Vowles and of course Franco's immediate impact! But Red Bull is a soul sucking machine where you succeed and get support only if your name is Verstappen! I would very much prefer for Franco to stay and continue his development as a reserve driver with an eye to replace Alex if his partnership with Sainz will have him underperform as competition is his kryptonite!

I think Colapinto could well be another De Vries situation if he were to go to RB. Yes he's doing great in that Williams, but De Vries looked promising too before his time at Alpha Tauri...

[@JamesGavin-j5u]

That's a strange comparison to make. De Vries' only made a one-off appearance at one of the easier tracks on the calendar, whilst Colapinto has made a few by now on different circuits and has immediately proved how quick he can be. Not to mention, he is considerably younger and can be given more time to adapt in the VCARB team.

[@tomeddie14]

@JamesGavin-j5u I don't entirely disagree with you, but I just think Williams is an easier environment to flourish in than RB/Red Bull. As seen by redbull and their struggles for a second driver since Danny ric left.

[@JamesGavin-j5u]

​​​​​@@tomeddie14yeah that is true, it will be a very different environment to the one he is in now. But if he's given the time, there's every chance it could work. And staying in F1 is important at the moment with so few seats avaliable. Whilst I personally think Sauber/Audi would be better for him on paper as the pressure would likely be lower there, that team is in woeful form right now and behind the scenes is in turmoil, whilst at least VCARB is pretty much guaranteed to keep him in the midfield.

Colapinto proving what I always thought was the case, Alex Albon is nowhere near as good as people seemed to believe. Does no one remember his Toro Rosso days? Was solid but nothing special, then drowned at Red Bull. Alex is good, but not on the same level as Leclerc, Russell and Norris. Even Mr Paistri isnt on their level yet, he lacks consistency. Back to Albon, the huge lack of talent of Latifi and Sargeants very very poor(to put it kindly) performances, gave the whole paddock the idea that Albon was just an amazing driver. Even Edd himself said Albon is a future WC, LMAO no. You could argue Franco is just very very good just like Alex, again I dont believe that to be the case. Franco was solid on his junior formula seasons but nothing special, but where he truly showed his metal was in sportscars. Sportscars fans, such as myself, already knew just how good he is.

As a Williams fan, I dont want him going anywhere, but equally I recognise that right now Williams can't offer him the car he deserves, and a massive check from scum like RBR would probably help build the team more than Colapinto's driving can. However, RBR is as likely to destroy him as make him. I'd be wary of that. Personally, I'd like to see Albon move to whatever the second RBR team is called, and Colapinto stay at Williams with some big Carlos Slim backing. I believe medium term Williams will give him more than RBR will, and develop him as both a driver and person infinitely more than RBR can. All of which goes in the bin as soon as money gets involved.
