I think Albon explained it best. Once he got used to the car being twitchy and started getting up to speed, RB made the car even more pointy as Max is on another level of car control. So now you're back to square one with no confidence and a teammate who keeps getting faster. This basically happened to all RB drivers.

There was an interview with Vettel a while ago and he was asked what made Max so good. He said “he is comfortable in the uncomfortable” meaning even if a car doesn’t work right he will absolutely extract the maximum. I think he masks a lot of the Red Bulls issue whereas other good but not world class drivers can’t cope making them look very average

11:07 brad pitt... he is getting the seat, i mean the man beat both russell and leclerc in a literal tractor 😂

[hrishikesh]

Carlos Sainz should be in Red Bull instead of Williams

[sheldoniusRex]

The perfect driver to replace Checo is the one Red Bull passed over this spring. Carlos Sainz Jr.

But no, they're going to promote Lawson too soon and sabotage his career like Gasly or Albon.

Plot twist. Kmag has signed for red bull

[kyrie]

Bring Yuki up for a year to let Lawson develop alongside Hadjar. It's the only move that makes any real sense.

[FalconsF]

I think that Yuki deserves the seat more than Lawson bc he has shown consistency and he’s way more experienced! But everyone can agree that this was prob the best choice for Red bull bc he cost them the world championship and the biggest points difference between teamates in f1 history! Keep it up guys! ❤

I absolutely love Checo. His win in Sakhir is legit tear jerkingly beautiful. But this was the right choice. Both for him and for Red Bull. I really don't hope this is the last we see of him though. That would be just pure sad.

6:02 No? The gap between Max and Perez in 2021 was not 20 seconds... both Lewis and Max were sometimes 40-50 seconds ahead of the WHOLE FIELD. Yeah, sometimes Perez or Bottas got within 20 seconds but not that often.

[myschevious]

The one driver who did come closest to matching Max and his driving style has always been Danny. But, Danny made his choices, and then Red Bull made theirs. I agree; especially with rookies, we're going to see a continuing trend (rinse and repeat) of what we've seen for the last 5 years.

Was great having the cameo appearence from the fly. Some great input from him there

[murphyebass]

Lawson gets it for sure.
They don’t rate Tsunoda.

That 2nd Red Bull seat is the hardest to be in on the grid, the car is fast so you're expected to perform, but it can only go fast if you have confidence in it even though it's on a knife-edge like Max likes, so you can't get that confidence. When all of your 2nd drivers have failed or eventually failed next to max, even though they’re not bad drivers, you have to question if it's right to make the car in such a way if it compromises half of your driver lineup. The next Red Bull driver will have the same fate as Perez and the others and the fans/media will call them terrible drivers too.

In this episode: Checo leaves, Tommy speaks and Matt is fighting a fly!

[gamergod]

the only reason Sergio ever got the Red Bull seat was because they ran out of drivers, so it's ironic that the firing of both Sergio and Daniel and their refusal to promote Yuki essentially put them in exactly the same position once again.

[Spike-skql]

Perez is NOT a bad driver. In fact, he is a GREAT mid field driver. Very sub par at best in a front running team though. Some drivers are just that though. Great in the mid field, but once up front, theyre gone. Perez is one of those.

[kieferclarkf]

Had Daniel been faster than Yuki, we would have gotten a Max/Danny pairing again🥺I wish that would have happened.

[markzbikowski]

Biggest kick in the balls to Yuki if they put Lawson in over him. Yuki has been grinding

[elzeban]

That intro is the first thing I thought of when they started doing these intros lol.
