I guess that Liam Lawson doesn't mind that.

Indeed, it's one of the reasons they put RIC in an AT seat.
To see if he's still fast enough because they want a steady factor besides Max.

TSU will stay at AT until ford takes over, he's honda's protegé, but he'll never race in a RB car.

Big chance RIC will get Checo's seat, and then it's up to Checo if he passes up the seat at AT and LAW gets it.

In principle Verstappen could already pass Prost (#4 ever with 51 wins) next week in Brazil.

In principle he could also pass Vettel (#3 ever with 53 wins) this season if he does the virtually impossible by winning Brazil, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi.

Yeah exactly . All I had to do was look at my F1 calendar and I was wrong => https://nl.motorsport.com/f1/schedule/2023/

Incredible from Max. To be up nearly a pit stop and have it wiped away with a red flag and then to drop Ham by nearly 15 seconds in less than half race distance was incredible. And he was managing quite a bit at the end it looked like.
Feel bad for Per but Ric nearly beating Rus in what might be the slowest car on the grid was great racing too.

Good thing Verstappen and RBR aren’t dominating.

He got greedy after a good start. Even said he was trying to win the race. Dude is 1/2 sec a lap behind VER and he’s trying to win the race on T1 of lap 1 by pushing it 3 wide. He knew he has to start pulling off some special rides or his seat is in big time danger.

He was called to the stewards for multiple laps with the splitter end plate dangling and then falling off.

TSU never has had a chance for the 2nd seat. Hasn’t shown he has the talent and skill to be worthy and his awful attitude and disrespect towards the team wouldn’t cut it at RBR. They especially wouldn’t want him to piss off VER.

There is no way PER has a seat at either team next year. If you drop him at RBR he has zero value for the team moving forward. The won’t waste the 2nd seat at AT when they absolutely want LAW to start getting regular experience. He is their future 2nd seat at RBR and they need him to get as much time as possible with AT so he hopefully doesn’t wash out under the immediate pressure when he moves to the big team.

Checo washed. Retire.

[M3WC]

Albon deserves another shot at that RB seat. He got his 7th points finish for Williams today.

The kid is driving really good in less than optimal equipment.

[G30M]

hoping for Albon -> RBR
Perez should retire today

[Artemis]

Ambitious sandwich overtakes on the outside of Turn 1 (spoiler alert: it ended with a DNF):

[GuidoK]

Fight between Ferrari spectators and (probably) Checo fans on the stands at the race (at 13:50)
(only at Tacticalrab's gossipchannel of course...)

You can live in hope but I don't think PER is going anywhere with Horner continually saying he has another years contract (for 2024) even if HAM get's second in the championship and Albon has repeated over and over he's keeping with Williams.
