Red Bull F1

Without Newey we will see how they will improve this particular weakness about their car ..

 

It seemed the were able to compensate for Max at least on bad Friday practice events and recover.

 

Sure your a Jim Clark. He says he doesnt care about criticism but he refuses to admit how sensitive he is actually about it. Its over so stop talking. You won but still cannot get over your utter defensive nature lol.

Verstappen: People who criticise me crossing the line don't have a champion mentality
Max Verstappen reflects on the criticism he received for the way he raced Lando Norris in the 2024 F1 season

 

he literally got asked that question in an interview.

If he answers truthfully, he gets told to stop talking. If he says "no comment", he'll be taking an avoiding stance.

 

Congratulations are in order.

Lawson promoted to replace Perez at Red Bull
Red Bull announces that RB youngster Liam Lawson will graduate to main squad in 2025

 

I wonder what Yuki needs to do to get this seat. He should be given this seat ahead of Lawson.

 

He’s completely immature like a teenager.
He just need to shut up when driving.
On top of this, they have all the datas between the two.
No brainer for me..

 

Stick Lawson in the 1st half of the season. IF he sucks, then stick Tsunoda in the 2nd half of the season.

 

Yuki is a Honda driver first and foremost. Honda moved to Aston for 2026. This is the reason Yuki didn't get the seat.

 

--https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/lawson-promoted-to-replace-perez-at-red-bull/10683506/

--This year he joined RB from the United States Grand Prix after the team split with Ricciardo, who had not delivered all that had been hoped for over the course of the season.

Lawson scored points from the off with ninth place in Austin, and finished in that position again in the Brazilian GP.

While the New Zealander was outqualified 7-2 by team-mate Yuki Tsunoda (6-0 without sprints), and scored fewer points during their time together, Red Bull felt that he offered more potential because of his technical feedback and mental attitude.


In particular, having robustly defended himself against Fernando Alonso at the United States Grand Prix, and got his elbows out against Perez at times, Lawson has convinced the team that he has the exact mindset needed to go up against someone as tough as Verstappen.--

 

According to Auto Moto, Red Bull has lost 300 000 Instagram followers overnight after Sergio Perez departure was announced.

 

To be replaced from NZ and Australia lol

 

Frankly who cares ?
They lost WCC in 2024 mainly because of Perez ..

 

yep. They also gain around 100K followers on insta a monnth so basically 3 months to catch up again..drop in the ocean

 

I disagree . They lost the 2024 WCC because they hesitated about replacing Perez.
To compound that, they offered a new 2-year contract when everything indicated that Perez was on the decline !!
It was down to poor management, and they have only themselves to blame.

 

I honestly don't think Horner and Marko can make that big of a decision i.e. money and sponsors. You need the shareholders of RedBull and some VIP's to make that big of a decision. Perez comes with ALOT of tangibles that not only help RedBull financially, but the shareholders and his sponsors. It's complicated.

Also, didn't Domenicali step in and say not to get rid of Perez just yet because it was before the MexicanGP?.....like I said....alot of tangibles.

 

Whoever makes these "big decisions" wasn't very inspired to propose another 2-year contract to Perez.
All the signs were that he was already in disaray at the end of last season (2023 Mexican GP for example).
It makes you wonder if these shareholders watch the races to get a clue !!
Obviously, if the bean counters are in charge, that's another matter ...

 

I honestly don't think these shareholders are concerned about Perez's racing. They, and others, are concerned about money coming in. That's the issue.

I get what your saying, but these people are concerned about the "bottom line" on the balance sheet.....and that bottom line should be in the black(profit) than in the red(loss).

 

They tried to give him confidence again with this contract.
They failed in this respect.
Without being paranoid one can be wonder if Checo was knowing shameful things about some tricks on the car ..

 

Any idea what they might have in common?

 

all (top) teams will have some trick on their car. The rumoured braking thing wasn't even illegal until FIA made a change to the regulations after RBR removed what they did or didn't have. So on that I wouldn't be very worried.

IMO just piss poor management trying to get their driver to drive the car properly. It wasn't pressure that made him drive poorly, it was Perez' incapability of adapting to ground effect cars.

 

Hadjar to partner Tsunoda at Racing Bulls for F1 2025
The final vacant seat of the 2025 Formula 1 grid has been taken up by F2 runner-up Isack Hadjar

 

He has a job why - does Horner. Another astonishing revelation emerges LOL!

Red Bull admits it probably needs to let Tsunoda go
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has admitted Yuki Tsunoda probably needs to be released if he is not needed by the senior team in 2025

Looks like Hadjar is joining Tsunoda for 2025 at VCARB.
