Could be, wouldn’t be surprised if he checo does get dropped if red bull are under risk of losing the constructors

Interesting, I actually think that Sainz would be better off going to Williams than Red Bull and if he does get the Red Bill seat I think all the RB drivers and Liam Lawson need to consider their futures.

Assuming lawson doesn’t get a seat next season he’s free to look elsewhere

I think we could see a classic Red Bull mid season switcheroo… the question is who will come from RB to Red Bull.

Red Bull are keen to retain Checo due to the international sponsorship he brings in.

There is also talk of Williams replacing Logan Sargeant before the end of the season!

I’m amazed they haven’t already done that!

Yeah I expected him to be out already.
Maybe during the summer break?

Problem is if they really want Sainz it might make more sense to keep him until the end of the season.

So there was comment by Will Buxton yesterday that Williams might have gotten bored waiting for Sainz to commit and that they might be going with Danny Ricciardo instead

Not looking good for Checo, will he make it to Spa?

Might see him gone by the end of the weekend :grimacing:

McLaren are looking fantastic though.

And now Tsunoda crashed :frowning:

First McLaren 1-2 in Quali for 12 years

Looks like a few drivers are going to be having a pretty serious speaking too after this race…

Just caught up on all the radio messages.

That was pretty rough from McLaren, pretty much emotionally blackmailed Lando into handing the win over to Oscar. Yes they undercut Oscar in the stops but he wasn’t catching Lando up and it doesn’t make difference team wise for the constructors but does for Lando in the drivers.

I think McLaren just screwed up massively. Both drivers were put in a terrible position.

The problem is, if they pitted Oscar first, then there is a good chance they wouldn’t have got the 1-2. They would have got Oscar 1 likely, but Lando would have been at risk. So they made a team decision to focus on the 1-2. That led to the situation where Lando was only first because he got pitted first, and was expected to give that place back. Yes, he was the faster, but again, he was only in that position because he got pitted first.

It was bad all round really. Never have I seen such a broken team after getting a 1-2.
