I think Albon has shown he can be great in fits and starts, but it’ll be interesting to see if he can be consistent. Sainz may well be the better long bet here. Wonderful to see them in the fight either way, and I’m excited to see what Hadjar can do.

Nov 2023 - 2024:
  • Nov 18, 2023 - 2023 Las Vegas GP: forcing Leclerc off the track at Turn 1
  • June 30, 2024 - 2024 Austrian GP: collision with Norris at Turn 3
  • Sep 20, 2024 - 2024 Singapore GP: use of language "the car was f**ked" to describe his car, during the FIA Thursday Driver Press Conference, which is generally considered "coarse, rude" or may "cause offense" and is not considered suitable for broadcast
  • Oct 27, 2024 - 2024 Mexico City GP: forcing Norris off the track at Turn 4
  • Oct 27, 2024 - 2024 Mexico City GP: leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage at Turn 8
  • Nov 2, 2024 - 2024 São Paulo Sprint: 0.63 seconds below the minimum time at VSC End (when the FIA light panels change to green)
    • 5 second time penalty - 1 penalty point - expiry on Nov 2, 2025
    • FIA stewards: Gerd Ennser - Andrew Mallalieu - Johnny Herbert - Luciano Burti
    • Decision file: https://www.fia.com/sites/default/fi...fringement.pdf
      (note: the decision mentions inaccurately "Fact: The driver was above the minimum time at VSC End." - should be corrected as "Fact: The driver was below the minimum time at VSC End.")

Sainz won races with Charlie on his side . And Sainz has the Ferrari charisma.
LEW has marketing potency and his fashion doll looks . That's all he has .
Charlie will take him completely down...

Shame on you Ferrari (!)

Herberts mate Hill was also given his marching orders from Sky for his criticism of MAX's driving more than once.

spine tingling moment watching Yuki's P5 lap. while the TV was showing a whole lot of nothing, Yuki did an amazing lap.

the Vcarb is super balanced. the lap looked boring (no oversteer no understeer no sliding no corrections), he hit every apex, and P5!

he really should be in the RB.

I dont think Sai was all that consistent during his years at Ferrari. He was very up and down and despite a great start to 2024 Lec beat him handily. He is a great driver, but I also think Alb is too.
So far, the rookies, I include Law/Bea in that group are all over the place. Kimi didnt really impress given all the hype esp when Rus put it P4 but that doesnt mean he isnt a talented guy as he does seem to be good but I dont think given how competitive his car is, he impressed the way Max did in his first RB start - which wasnt nearly as good of an overall car in the pecking order. Limited sample size but what I can glean from what I've seen so far.

It's too early to judge and to swap seats . But yeah , Yuki improved a lot and he's the right man when needed ..

Which would likely make for worse team dynamics at rb. Not disagreeing, but not giving him the seat wasn't surprising, unfortunately.

I'm a Yuki fan

Think , you didn't see my post # 186 => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=186

If they did it . It was a gamble , but at this moment it looks like they won .

I heard they ran with more wing , to get more downforce and grip in the rain .

But I think , Turn 1 is for MAX...
