Yes Yuki or Liam would end up like Gasly or Albon. They don’t have the minerals for that car yet (without even considering having to also be Max’s teammate). They’d both end up a bubbling mess.

Ricciardo is the only logical choice. He’s already been there and he’s recently been performing solidly and importantly with a safe pair of hands.

RBR should stick with the two young drivers gaining experience. If Ricciado succeeds great. If he doesn’t then no great loss with building their future talent.

After thinking constantly about the RB situation I'm following that path too, get Danny back if the Serge catastrophe continues. Getting a young hot shot in now could well continue wrecking trying to keep up with MAX and Dan should at least stave off some of the others and add Constructor points by actually finishing.

McLaren drivers are very confident in their interviews

but they didn't look at what tires they have, mostly used.

Max however has all the correct new tires

...and stick Lawson in the VCarb with Yuki to see how he progresses.

MAX has two sets of new mediums and new hard while LAN and PIA have two sets of used meds and both used hards.

Do you guys really believe RIC can score any points? I view Danny as an Aussie version of Checo without the billionaire backer. . Is Danny really not just another older driver who has confidence issues?

Maybe or not but he's still in it and the VCARB's updates are not great

[GuidoK]

what was that for strange problem with the throttle? on Lando's car?

Lets hope it doesn't come back in the race.

Told to hand place back and MAX not happy but long way to go.

Lando was going too wide in T1 and pushed MAX off track on the outside ..

With 3 cars going full into T1 was just too much ....

[///M Power-Belgium]

Piastri is bullet fast .After 10 laps, his gap is 2.6 sec.

MAX (P3) is saving tires ....

[///M Power-Belgium]

Ferrari :

P5 = Charlie
P6 = Sainz

[M4Lou]

I thought Max had a *reasonable point. I get the team having him give the position back.
