I think it’s far too early to make that switch. They need to give him a chance. But then again, he is so incredibly far behind Max.
A lot of people saying it’s the car. Just that Max is so good that he makes the car look good.
Everything I’ve seen so far seems to link back to a parody or meme page.
I think its “the car” but only really as the car is built around Max so its very difficult for anyone else to get to grips with it. Even if Yuki went in I wouldn’t expect him to be on the back of him.
Including Max who basically said the Racing Bull is currently a better car.

It would be good to get Max and Yuki to swap cars for a practise session to see what happens!

So confirmed on BBC Sport that the swap is happening.
Wait, just read the article. This isn’t a temp swap to see, they committing to the swap.
Some articles are theorising that if Lawson doesn’t perform quickly at Racing Bulls he will be out completely for Calapinto.
Maybe his only hope is to get his Dad to buy a team…
… just saying
So watching one of the F1 insiders on TikTok and he was saying Honda currently pay €10M a year for Yuki to be at Racing Bulls, last year they offered an additional €10M if he got the Red Bull seat and were turned down.
Apparently after the last race Red Bull sat down with Honda and asked if it was still on the table, they were told yes but since we are 2 races in if you want the full €10M he has to be in by Japan for our home race.
Imagine this.
Yuki replace lawson.
Lawon then out qualis Yuki whilst racing for racing bulls
I think that’s really likely, the Racing Bull is the better car for a normal driver and Yuki is very normal.

Just catching up.
Yeah that was a big shunt. Seen him walking in the pits later so looks ok. They were saying his DRS was still open going into the corner
From the videos I’ve just seen they also seen to keep seeing fire to the track… multiple red flags for grass fires!
