@@brooklynsbaby4367 100% agree with you. I think they and Sauber were competing for most bad strategies. So many strange decisions... The "jr" team mentality doesn't help that either, like I said in the video, that mentality is determental to the team.
This is so interesting. I didn't realise that Daniel Ricciardo was so close to Yuki. You're right that bad start was unfortunate. Great stuff, keep it up. Looking forward to Haas video
@@BMF1-Officialhopefully he doesn’t get the gasly treatment, he can’t remain in RB for the rest of his career. He will need a proper team if RBR doesn’t workout like gasly has gone to alpine.
@@zayyan_7995 It seems he has enough talent to be desirable across the grid. Will depend on his performances and the performances of the other rookies I think! Albon has big test this season, is he really as good as he has looked the last few years?
I honestly do not get the Tsunoda hype. Not that I dislike him, but Tsunoda has developed very little from the start of 2021 to now, and he's still as hot-headed as in the beginning of his career. If Gasly wouldn't have left in 2022, Yuki's F1 career would be over due to underperforming, no questions asked. He's not bad, but he's not setting the world alight, he never has. Also, the comparison graphic you're showing at 14:12 is unfairly skewed in favour of Tsunoda. No, Tsunoda did not massively outscore Lawson. True is: Tsunioda did score 47 points... but not in 11 races. No, in all 46 races + 12 sprints from 2023 and 2024 whereas Lawson only has his 6 points from the 11 races and 4 sprints. The actual points head-to-head is 8-6 for Tsunoda. If I would be Horner or Marko, I would rather look at Lawson and congratulate him for being on par with Tsunoda despite the massive experience deficit.
I think I feel a similar way to you about Yuki. Once the initial "OMG Poor Yuki" died down and we take a proper look at the info. Given his lack of time in the seat, being that close to Yuki is excellent - although I would have expected a little more form Liam in 2024. Iit makes a lot of sense to go with Liam over Yuki. I don't like RB dangling a carrot in front of him if they have made up their mind (if they don't need him let him go). I also think it is going to be tough for Yuki to land a seat if he leaves the red bull frame but hey time will tell. And apologies, yes you are correct about the graphic. I'll add a disclaimer or edit it, once I figure out how to do that in the youtube editor!
The expectations for the 2 are completely different. This was one last go to try to get to the top for Ricciardo, and he failed to even beat his teammate. For Lawson, he is just getting started so less is expected
Yes, even though Liam was also behind Yuki, he was still close and should only get better. Once Daniel failed to beat Yuki AND Red Bull wanted RB to still be their feeder team (because of the Perez problem), keeping Daniel didn't make sense. It's exciting to have all these rookies ! Do you think Liam will be the strongest rookie in 2025?
Whilst yes Daniel might’ve been close to Yuki in the races, the expectations for the two were entirely different. In the words of Marko, Daniel was brought back to see if he could make a claim for the red bull seat, he was meant to convincingly outperform a 4th year Yuki and punch above that cars weight consistently, he failed to come anywhere close. Yuki’s was to match and beat Daniel who the experienced benchmark. He did to Daniel what Daniel was meant to do to him. I’ve seen the same argument used in Schumacher vs Magnussen which was oh well Mick actually beat Kevin in the race head to heads, sure he might’ve by a convincing way, but Magnussen was the one racking in the points, anything else is useless. And it’s the same with Ric and Yuki, their points head to head that season before Ric was dropped was 8 times scoring for Yuki and 4 for Daniel. And if Ric at the age of 35, who’s already been dropped once for underperforming, in a “junior team” that’s meant to be a pathway to Red Bull racing can’t get that pathway… there’s literally no reason for him to be in F1, he had his chance and this all could’ve been avoided if he hadn’t have left Red Bull in the first place. his only use is as a commercial asset.
Yes, as sad it is for anyone who was a Danny Ric fan, it didn't make sense to keep a driver who was only "doing enough" when the reason he came back was to do more. I agree too, he should never of left Red Bull! There was some interesting comments from RB engineers basically saying his time at McLaren effectively destroyed his confidence and he never got it back. I also think that the ground effect cars also make it harder for him to access his natural speed and late breaking overtakes. Not an excuse for him, as all drivers have to adapt to that, but it could have contributed.
I've watched Liam's career since he raced in the TRS, and I think he will do fine. Everything he has jumped in he has been immediately fast and challenging for wins. I don't expect him to beat Max, but if the car is good he will get podiums and maybe a win. He's also got the superb wheel to wheel racecraft, so no matter what at least he'll be exciting to watch.
@@randyrandleman5653 it would be good to have a strong driver pairing at red bull. Imagine if RB, Ferrari and McLaren are all closely matched with drivers actually performing - what a season it could be!
Maybe you should research the reasons for the results -eg Liam had inherited grid penalty on first race and then tyre not secure issue on last race . Also watch the TH-cam's where they look at all the crashes of Yuki and Daniel. Right choice made ..
@@andrewprice9444 grid penalties and operational issues are part of F1, eventually would even out... I don't disagree with Liam replacing Daniel, but it should have been handled better.

Yes, the rumours were very strong and confident. He definitely knew that would be his last race. Just a shame they didnt say it to the world. I think, if Perez was performing in the Red Bull I don't think we would have seen a mid-season change... Rather he would have been replaced at the end of the season, even if he performed well.

Not a big of Yuki but VCARB's strategies really fucked him over, same for DR. Each race one of them would be a sacrificial lamb, tough to watch.

@@OlgaDozortseva it's going to be make or break for him! Maybe not career ending if it goes badly, as we've seen Albon and Gasly find drives elsewhere

Yuki crashes when under pressure. Yuki $2m vs 125K for Liam's front wing taken off by Colapinto.
@@Max_Flashheart yes, I do think we've seen Yuki feel the pressure more, there's a few drivers like that (maybe Albon too?!)
