Congratulations Liam Lawson/Danny Ric on the promotion.
I won’t lie, I’ll be slightly upset if DR gets the promotion before Tsunoda
Will but seems hard to justify his seat in Red Bull.
I desperately want to see Lawson in an RBR car, but does he pass the Marko test? I can’t remember the last time I heard him talking about him positively.
While we’re at it, wouldn’t mind seeing Hadjar in a seat for Danny Ric, see how he gets on.
That team breaks younger drivers and number 2s. I want better for Lawson than driving for 3 races and getting shit canned.
A fair point. I suppose the counter argument would be that they are at least cycling through the #2’s in order to give them a pop at top-tier racing (Albon, Gasly, Max, Kvyat etc) while there are second seats at teams which are a literal career death sentence like Ferrari (Barrichello and Irvine to Schumacher, Massa to Alonso, arguably Sainz to Leclerc).
I just don’t want Lawson “doing a Sam Bird” and being an incredibly talented driver waiting in the wings for a drive that never comes, that would be such a shame.
