Yea just saw this as well. I'd like to think Ric gained a lot of fans who were not into F1 previously.

His presence, particularly on the Netfix show, I'm sure brought in a bunch of people.

But ever since Lawson replaced Ric for his broken wrist, I thought he deserved that seat more than Ric. Especially in Singapore when Lawson knocked Max out in Q1, that was a fun moment for him.

Curious to see how Tsunoda takes to the pressure of having Lawson in the second seat. I honestly think Lawson will quickly surpass him.

Pressure's on for Checo too, guaranteed Lawson is eyeing up that RB seat.

Total BS, just clickbait nonsense. Checo was interviewed and he said he will be racing for a minimum of 2 more years, but that he would not be racing as long as Alonso.

And so this round of rumors are true after umpteen false ones.

RB are a strange organization. Complete denial (aka lying) by everyone and then a media announcement. they obviously knew the rumors to be true but not allowed to say.

There's never a good way to ask someone to leave, Horner will get it any which way. RIC really should have seen the writing on the wall a while back and tell his manager to trawl other teams, like the coming Audi, instead just waited for the boot.

it's Lawson vs Colapinto shootout for Perez seat. at the moment Colapinto surely is the front runner, though Liam will get 9 races to prove otherwise (6 GP + 3 sprints)

they evaluated DR for > 3 years mind you!
CH really have a love for him probably from knowing him in the past and using him as a shield for the RB power struggle saga

Its Ben that should be quiting pronto.

So Merc wants MAX but he's not for quitting, so as a reply RBR have invited RUS to join them.

Showing Rus in the RB uniform in the thumbnail looks kinda odd...not knocking his driving skills

The West Londoner would be a good replacement should Checo depart from RB , that's the way I see it rather than if MAX leaves as the vid above seems to signify.
MAX sees RB as his second fam home so it looks like Horner is at war of words with arch enemy Wolff.

That's a possibility true, if Rus does go to RB, I guess its not just words that Wolff and Horner will be at war with.

Yuki won't get pressure from Lawson , because the little Japanese is faster in the VCARB car.
We'll see it soon enough @COTA ....

On the other hand: I'm pretty sure Lawson will be faster than RIC was in this season.

Yeah . RUS has fighters B@lls and he's fast in the rain as well.

But I would go with Nico the Hulk to replace the Mexican ..
Nico ran a fantastic race in Singapore ..
