It is not a matter of being "fair". No hiring of an employee ever is. The "best" man or woman for the job gets it. It is a matter of building a team that the teamleaders see as optimal and agree on. And it looks like Lawson is the candidate that Horner and Marko agree on. That is the simple reality.
Asked about the performance of Lawson in 2025 - the New Zealander having replaced Daniel Ricciardo at RB from the United States Grand Prix - Horner replied: “I think Liam, in challenging circumstances, has done a very good job. If you analyse what he’s done in the time that he’s had and the race pace he’s had, I think he’s done a good job. “I think Yuki’s done a good job, so in the event that anything were decided with Checo they would be the candidates we would look towards.”//// from official F1 web..
"but that's how F1 works."... ... namely, racism and membership in the clique? I'm struggling to see a different interpretation of that "explanation" in this context. Much as Lawson is a great driver, Yuki has outperformed 3 team mates, ~including~ Lawson. I guess on the plus side, at least Yuki now knows his future can only lie elsewhere?
Except yuki hasn't, lawson has beaten yuki 6-5 in feature races and it would have been 7-4 if his team didn't screw up his pit stop when he had an 8 second lead.
Always with the racism card, that card means nothing anymore because it has been over used too much. The reason is RB wants to promote from there own driver academy and Yuki is a Honda driver, plain and simple.

@@Matt04108 I mean, if you count the races since Liam's return to judge them both the evidence of current form, it's: Yuki outqualifies Liam 6 - 0, Yuki finishes ahead in the race 4 - 2, and outscores liam 8 - 4 in points... ... and even if you include the sprints, that's still 7 - 2 on quali, Yuki 5 - Liam 4 on finishing, and 8 - 4 on points in favour of Yuki. But if we're to include 2023 as well, sprints and all: Yuki outqualifies Liam 11 - 4, Liam finishing ahead 8 - 7 (with Tsunoda failing to start once of them due to PU failure!), and a points difference of 8 to 6 in favour of Yuki. Not only has Yuki improved over the last year, which you might hope of a driver who's been there the whole season, he has demonstrated himself the better driver over the course of all races where he and Liam have been teammates. That said, as the late great commentator Murray walker liked to say of "If this...", and "If that...", "Formula 1 is IF spelled backwards". It's just the nature of the sport. Fact is, Yuki comes out on top.
“didn’t perform as expected” for doohan is a load of bull shit there were no real expectations and he doesn’t have all the upgrades gasly had, to replace doohan for colapinto is just showing there’s no point for alpine to have these young driver programs as they just screw all their juniors over
Red Bull a leaving the Honda Power Units come 2026. So Tsunoda being with Honda probably won't even be racing with either Red Bull teams come then. So why would you put him in the Red Bull car for one year only???
If Lawson had been racing in Vcard. They know he would be way ahead of . Yukii , Lawson has a much higher ceiling and he has the mental strength which is required to handle that position.
Given that Horner resigned Perez, his vote should be null and void. Yuki has a higher ceiling on ability, what really has Liam Lawson shown because it hasn't been there.
Horner won’t consider Yuki period! Perhaps racism? There is no other reason. Even team principal for the junior team recommends Yuki and he has the most insight on Yuki’s development and performance. That excuse about Yuki isn’t RB academy but a Honda driver is nonsense. Yuki did at least race for RB F2 team before he came into F1 team. Colapinto was a Williams academy driver and only came into F1 after Williams stint this year. So why was he the favorite consideration until he flopped recently. Also don’t forget Perez was never RB junior driver or RB academy before he became Max’s teammate. Typical glass ceiling with unjustifiable and hypocritical excuses. Horner simply isn’t impartial. The other excuse is Yuki is hot headed but he has conscientiously worked to control that this year and his team boss has verified that. Which F1 driver isn’t temperamental under stress on the radio. All the drivers curse. As a matter of fact Lawson gave Perez the middle finger when he passed him at the Mexico GP. Let’s be realistic, Racism and bigotry is the only reason for Horner. He still has that “Empire” mentality!
Your wrong Yuki has driven the tracks for 4 years. Liam hasn’t and He’s loosing in qual by tenths and was running 7th in the last race up until the stuffed up the pit. You need to look at stats using a wider View. You wait and see what happens if Liam get the seat.
Rubbish. Tsunoda is marginally better after 4 full seasons in F1, plus massive preseason development for all of those seasons. Lawson has had 11 races and nothing like the development input. Tsunoda should be faster not just by increments.
Judging Franco over his crash in Brazil is comically unfair since weather was unusually bad that day, plus other drivers had totaled their cars as well yet are not being held under scrutiny. Also is anybody ever going to address the fact that Lawson has an attitude problem?. He pushed Colapinto off track in Mexico then pulled a finger on Perez. Kinda funny how Max dropping F bombs is profanity (according to FIA) yet a middle finger isn't.
He should ask Lawson what being a reserve is like and how to best use that time. He did Superformula but last end of last year and this year he studied how the races developed and what drivers were doing that worked. That is unusual for drivers to see races like that and to see the big picture. But he would have preferred to be driving 100%

Yuki getting screwed harder than Horner and his assistant.
Grow up kid

And it looks like Lawson is the candidate that Horner and Marko agree on. That is the simple reality.
Yuki has $2m in crash damage Liam had his wing taken off Franco for $125K He within a 10th of Yuki on tracks he has never driven.

Why not simply swap over Perez and Lawson, like they did with Albon and Gasly?
"but that's how F1 works."...

When other drivers lash out, Redbull calls it a fighting spirit, when Yuki lashes out, its called immaturity and bad temperment.
Except yuki hasn't, lawson has beaten yuki 6-5 in feature races and it would have been 7-4 if his team didn't screw up his pit stop when he had an 8 second lead.

Facts

Yuki’s maturity is what’s keeping him back …
And market.....

Tsunoda was only testing RB to keep Honda happy. Never was in contention Ever!
Alas it is not your prerogative to say which votes are "null and void" in the Red Bull team...
Eddie Jordan also says that he come out the other side, the diagnosis was in March, and he is clear now.
Lawson came from the RB academy, tsunoda came with the honda power unit.
Plus, tsunoda can have a mouth on him.
And Red Bull are changing Power Unites come 2026

Crashing twice on one day was the problem when you know that the team allready is struggeling with spare parts
@ He literally begged for wets and was denied it, so that’s on the Williams engineers 🤷🏼♂️
Put any Rookie with Max and Red Bull can forget about the constructors title in 2025
Doohan has not had a fair opportunity on track but what's he doing on the SIM
Doing yuki dirty man
Perez isnt going anywhere hahahah
All Colapinto does is crash. I think Flavio is thinking about the sponsorship money if he replaces Doohan with Franco.
Your analysis is just amazing! keep working like that! just to let you know I was beeing IRONIC!
Franco deserves. he hasn t got any real training in F1 before. Only 2 test. And he had the pressure to show himself
He should ask Lawson what being a reserve is like and how to best use that time. He did Superformula but last end of last year and this year he studied how the races developed and what drivers were doing that worked. That is unusual for drivers to see races like that and to see the big picture. But he would have preferred to be driving 100%
Click bai.....
Colapinto 2025!!!
Go home yuki 😂
racist
