Almost missed quali because of the extra special weekend again
Couple of observations/predictions.
- Checo is gone from RB end of this year.
- De Vries doesn’t last the week
- Sergeant doesn’t last the month
- Alonso will do a brill soundbite on how talented Lance is
- Verstappen will win
the ongoing downfall of Checo is really astounding. Maybe I’m just losing perspective on his performance because his teammate is checks notes on track to be one of the true GOATs, but it really seems like he’s been beefing it.
I think everyone is overreacting on checo. He is in 2nd place and red bull will win everything this year. I doubt they will end his contact early if this is still the scenario by the end of the year. He will be gone after 2024 though.
I think people who claim he’ll be gone over the summer are overreacting for sure. There is no need for RB to be that drastic. He has, however, been pretty underwhelming, and I think Red Bull will for sure consider their options going into '24. They can afford to give him the rest of the season to sort himself out, but if they expect other teams to be able to close the gap sooner rather than later then they need a number 2 who is more consistent.
What baffles me the most is that he was incredibly on point in the first 4 races. Nobody believed that he was actually gonna challenge Max, but he really delivered. And then comes his traditional mid season slump that he has every year for some reason
This is by no means an original thought—but sprint weekends really do suck.
Checo is cracking. I kind of feel for him.
Curious to see who they’re giving the seat to; I don’t think they’ll be promoting Tsunoda.
Agreed. I think Tsunoda is great but throwing him into that RB right now would like what they did to Albon, it would be way too soon.
he’s had two years, albon was almost brand new by comparison
Trying not to get excited about Ferrari’s potential for tomorrow…
