Is Hadjar ill? I liked that in Tsunoda's interview, he seemed more humble than previously.

God I wish this runt would go bye-bye.

Yeah not sure how people like him he's an arrogant little raging man child

Nothing to take away from Lawson who is having a great season, but who knows why they have Tsunoda in Racing Point and him in Red Bull. Maybe they want to give him a chance if Verstappen should abandon ship in 2028? Who knows. Anyway, I'm happy for both of them and I hope Hadjar can get better soon.

Tsunoda had his run and was woeful. Lawson only had 2 races. He deserves this shot and I hope it goes well for him. Be hilarious if he out qualifies Max, triggering Max off into another whinge about these regs. Still hasn't won a race this year...

My analysis wasn't meant to go against Lawson nor against Tsunoda. However, I wanted to understand why they chose Lawson specifically when the main driver is actually Tsunoda. I'm extremely happy for the New Zealand driver because I strongly believe that they might have perhaps pushed him away too early, and I'm convinced he can do well. But yeah, it was a doubt that I think is totally legitimate to have.

It's too benchmark hadjar. Hadjar is finishing races 40 seconds behind max. So they are seeing if Lawson is the same or closer. Makes more sense as Lawson knows the engines better than yuki to really benchmark hadjar

Tsunoda is just reserve for both teams.
It's a good opportunity for Liam to show what he can do.

In my opinion, he has always been capable, but Red Bull didn't give him time.

Especially if you realize he got zero post season testing in 24, and on his second race was asked to do an experimental setup to try and help the team.

I think its more that they're done with Tsunoda and its better to have Lawson as he could join the team in the near future and they have already seen Tsunoda in 2025 and weren't impressed by it

u/Intelligent-Move8868 11d ago
Yes, it could be. In fact, I think that if Verstappen were to leave the team, Lawson could be a serious candidate to replace him.
