@@LawVS Fun fact. Did you know that you are one of the few, perhaps the only, YT who shows any kind of appreciation for Drugovich? The international press simply ignores its existence. who was champion with an inferior car (compared to Art and Prema) and had good times and Feedback in his tests (James Vowles compared Drugovich and Schumacher and said that the German is simply slow). Is there any kind of impression on me with Brazilians in Europe?
funny thing is Ricciardo doesn't the money from f1 his a successful business man out side of f1 he is only in F1 because he loves racing and for teams like williams they should be trying to get him because i think dan would take a huge pay cut to be on the grid next couple of years unlike other drivers who are chasing the dollars
@@leecoates6524 The problem is that he no longer has a really interesting performance. It basically became a mkt product
It is almost like an 11th team would be a good thing...
Yeah only if f1 allowed andretti they are ready to join even from next season
no reason to add an 11th team. 10 is fine.
We dont randomly add teams to the premier league or NBA because we want more young talent.
@@daarom3472? That’s cause theirs 5 other major leagues for premier league and the nba just not to long ago had a massive expansion
@@daarom3472nba is a bad example + RB makes it 9 essentially
@daarom3472 we wouldnt be "randomly adding" another team, there one waiting in the wings with better prospects than some of the current teams
Sad for Zhou. He’s a very nice humble guy.
Definitely his skillset is not quite for F1. He's not out of depth but the F1 grid nowadays is the tightest ever been. He should be suitable for WEC. Very reliable, rarely makes mistakes. Also countryman Ye Yifei is also on the grid on a FERRARI.
Agreed, good personality to have on the grid. Unfortunately, humility doesn’t warrant keeping a seat.
WEC will be place for him I mean alot team need drivers thought
"Nice guy" doesn't get the job done. He's not good, never was. Waste of a seat.
What HAAS says and what they do aren't necessarily the same. Zhou's a pretty good/safe option for them.
To be fair, KMag was out of the sport already and moving into the GT/Hyper (Peugeot WEC) side of things when he got 'pulled back in' on the Blyat Special Op. He's not likely going to be fighting for the Championship with any team in F1, time to follow Dad's footsteps and enjoy being a family man.
Ya... not everyone can be world champion but he's surely looks happy than Daniel...he got future 😊
How I wish Danny Ric never left Redbull or even Renault for that matter.Just kills me seeing what's going on right now.
Flew too close to the sun
Yeaaah, Danny is very likeable... But he is not fast enough anymore sadly.. I wonder how it would have ended if he had stayed with rbr
More like him never leaving Renault. I'm tired of people rewriting history on his pretty successful time at Renault. The team was built around him and he threw it all away
Riccardo was quite disloyal to Renault. I don't feel for him.
@@stevenjoseph6048Perfect
I wish there was a world where all the bottom drivers could race the top cars and top drivers bottom cars. Just one race a season! It literally would be fascinating. I know I'm dreaming but could you imagine Sargent getting in a Mclaren and wining the race or max in a Williams and being top 3! It would make people talk about drivers in a whole new light.
The top cars would all be destroyed because driving them properly requires talent the back marker drivers don't have
Rubbish. They are all talented. Logan has been lamblasted all season. He finally gets a car the same as Albon in Austria and he out qualifies him.
@@shrikanyasengupta4457Albon is a Top 7 driver already mate, he doesn‘t need top car to proof that. We‘ve seen time and time again what he‘s capable of no matter the machinery
@@toolegittoquit_001 you proved op's comment, we don't know how the back markerd perform when they're in trash cans, gotta make them drive the good ones to know
Something sad I wanted to share: I missed the entire sprint qualifying because I fell asleep. It started at 20:00 at my place, and I (in) conviniently woke up at 21:00
It's ok bro. Happens.
You need F1TV! You could log on and see the practices and qualifying, then watch the in car views of every driver. It also has the archives of every race back to the 70’s. Watch Senna, Schumacher, Prost and others. Understanding the history of F1 makes the current driver’s records and exploits more enjoyable.’
I went for dinner and the site I used stopped working on data :(
i missed fp1 in the exact same manner which was at 16:00, but thankfully was awake for sq just in time and got to see ferrari doing ferrari things
do you use latifi?@@vrishanksingh-ii5nk
Haas would benefit from Bottas being a mentor driver for Bearman and Bottas is the ultimate team player but, can be good when he wants in a decent car.
I didnt want to like Zhou at first i thought he was a pay driver.
But i do like him, he hardly ever makes an unforced error and he says funny stuff on the radio.
What do you like the most? His constant Q1 exits? His starts from the pit lane? Or wait, maybe his solid P19 or P20 finishes? I know, it's a tough choice. So much to like.
Zhou is a pay driver. Not the worse we have seen but still a pay driver
@@thecentralscrutinizer304fairs.. but also he is driving a kick.. you know that car that struggles to have under 10 seconds pit stops in a very tight season haha!
@@thecentralscrutinizer304 Oh! ok you dont understand F1.
I bet you think Albon has low finishes because he is just a slow guy 😄
Isn’t Bottas destroying him?
We need more teams. 11 or 12 would be awesome.
Anyway, anyone think that Sainz goes to Alpine, and then Zhou waiving the cash to Williams for a 1+1 deal, and then getting binned binned for the new regulations in 2026?
I'd love to see a deal with Sainz and Antonelli. Sainz goes to Mercedes for a year (and wins the Drivers Championship, and Antonelli is seconded off to another team to return to Mercedes in 2026. (At which time Perez won't get his plus 1) and Sainz can go to Red Bull.
"Gene has money"
Probably news to him ...
There are rumors that he is dying (cancer). And he is moving money from everything to f1.
The problem with that is people only see the money, but not have an honest inkling about where the best places to put it to good use.
The main problems are, basically, an organization that seems clueless about allowing teams to be able to make their teams viable and competitive. The other is the manufacturer representation, which seems to cater to the big guys, doing everything to maintain their position, at the expense of the teams at the back. This includes poaching of drivers and engineers/mechanics y the bigger teams, mostly because they have PU and mechanical engineering deals to hang over their heads as influence.
Danny Ric and K-Mag bid their farewell is understandable, but it’s kinda bad luck for Guanyu hasn’t had a good car to show his capabilities.
And you guess right, Sir Lancelot gets to stay, because his dad owns the team.
F1 has long been about the money & privileges. The greed just becoming more and more apparent lately.
I wonder if it is even worse nowadays or just because of social media making it more known. Like I don't remember pay drivers from my youth (so late 90's-00's) but I know it has always been a thing and if this current grid drove back then I wouldn't have had any idea that Perez brings in a ton of money or things Zhou not only bringing huge sponsorships but him being picked ahead of other probably more deserving drivers.
Imagine only the things that are said on the official broadcasts and how they would barely if ever mention something like this.
U know, im not a riccyfan by any means but, isnt nice to have a senior in the junior team so that they could teach the junior every trick in the book? What does bringing 2 juniors get u? One will absolutely end up getting the door after a point
Yuki isn’t exactly a junior driver anymore so he’d take over as the senior driver in the team after Danny Ric leaves😊
@@zee2076 I love yuki but I don't think he will be a great mentor especially since he has lot to learn himself still. His car removed the upgrade package from his car as he was uncomfortable with it. He also seems to struggle a lot in rain and high speed corners which coupled with how bad VCARB is at them makes a huge difference in said corners. I bet redbull still would e loved to kick tsunoda out but he could get lots of things done in another team and still be a potential threat to Perez and is being used as a pawn for that matter. A potential yuki move in 2026 is probably why stroll got 2 year extension instead of 1 since his father is losing power in the team. I'd love for yuki to step out of redbull family while he still can.
At this rate F1 is becoming a feeder series for Indy.
I wouldn’t mind at all if Indy became the new “pinnacle of racing” that sport is basically the reason we have as much as we do today and we owe that sport more than we could ever repay it. It’s time to give Indycar the respect it deserves. Just my opinion though…
I am OK with this, because Indy Car is pretty low key and you can meet the drivers with pretty cheap paddock passes. In 2017 I paid $200 for a pass for the whole weekend at my local race at Mid Ohio. Got to meet Dixon, Power, a bunch of drivers. It would be cool to see F1 drivers come to the states and go wheel to wheel racing for a change too.
super formula sounds better but japan want the sport away from fia's control
As others have pointed out, the grid is too small, now more than ever F1 needs more teams, I believe the potential F1 driver talent pool is larger than ever, and as a result we should expand the grid. Some may argue with me and say that the addition of new teams would mean more back markers that would struggle to be competitive for years, which in terms could hinder the image of F1. However, with the addition of 2 to 4 teams I propose drastically changing how qualifying would work. Currently, there is virtually no risk of not qualifying. With more teams on the grid we could implement a limit on the amount of cars that qualify, you could even tack on a penalty to teams who routinely don't qualify by reducing the amount of money they get at the end of the year. Once you put money on the line, one would hope this would make teams more competitive and have the owners like actually care. This would also open the door to drivers being replaced more often. Of course, you would also need to implement other measures to ensure this would work well, the cost cap was move in the right direction. To finish off, I believe if there was 2 to 4 more seats it would hopefully solve the issue for some drivers that are are at risk of losing their careers, in part it would also open the door for more talent to come in rather than how it is now where some even choose other leagues to start their motorsport career, instead of waiting for a miracle seat to open up.
It taken me two business days to read all 😢... but good 😊
it feels like I'm extending track limits being this early
u have to stop and pause for 10 seconds for this infringement.
Watch for gravel
Law:”have you heard from Bruno lately?”
Um yeah, he was on the post race show on Sunday.
Good. Glad he's alive.
A big issue for VCARB with Lawson is Liam had a deal for a 2025 drive with another team and when Liam did the honourable thing and inform RB that he had a offer he was going to sign thats when RB told him he definitely had a seat at VCARB for 2025 and here's a new contract, he of course signed. Then Carlos came on the market and some teenager called Kimi was giving Toto the horn and the Team that wanted a deal with Lawson but lost out to RB because RB promised Liam a drive had the potential of getting Carlos and Toto was interested in having Kimi drive for 2 years for that team before he joins Mercedes. RB then started saying will Liam might not have a seat while giving Checo a new contract and then Yuki and saying Liam can leave if he gets a offer, but saying that after the offer he did have was no longer a option for Liam because Carlos and Kimi were now in the picture. RB really done Liam dirty and I hope a deal with another team emerges for Liam. When I catch up with him at Spa I might just buy a Mercedes shirt to wear in their paddock.
Who was the team that offered Liam a seat in the past?
Then lawson should have taken the other offer redbull and mclaren cant be trusted to keep promises so silly that lawson didn't know that
@user-nr4tj8pb4u sounds like Williams.
Daniel’s has definitely declined since his Red Bull days but one thing I still admire about him is he keeps his cool on track, you never hear him yell or get angry on the radio like Yuki, Max, Charles, Pierre, etc. do. Carlos used to be like this but he’s been coming off pretty whiny lately, I hope it’s just the stress of not knowing what he’s doing next year and not a shift in how he handles himself on track. it is agonizing waiting for Carlos to announce his team for next year cause so many dominos are waiting to fall behind him
Yeah whiny and full of excuses that he seems to think are valid. When new drivers like Bearman and Lawson can come in and drive a car, it beggars belief that DR is thinking thqat his gazillion years experience means it's okay for him to be in his 6th slump year.
Why limit to three? Put everyone Logan outqualifies on the chopping block.
Except Perez, who is immune from qualifying.
Perez has a contract (for now) and Logan was already covered in his own video.
@@LawVS a contract with RedBull is like putting candy-floss in water.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if Christian leaves RB end of season? Maybe he got more personal $$ incentive to re-sign Checo and isn’t thinking as much about team results anymore if he’s being pushed out. Just speculation on my part. In a recent interview Geri Halliwell dropped the Horner from her last name and some are wondering….
I want Danny Ric and Guenther in a studio show
New subscriber here.
Just wanna say thanks for these videos as they're a good listen and I can't find other channels like it.
Here's to you gaining more traction and reaching 100k by the end of the year!
Haas isn’t done in nascar, they did sell some charters but they’ll keep one car in the cup series and two in Xfinity now.
Yep
Damn it, Zhou deserve a seat. At least another year to develop his driving skill.
his racing record is not spectacular, neither was his junior career. Hes a pay driver, not a completely terrrible one, but still one.
@@francisnitsch-jones5908 He never got a good car to prove himself, and Sauber this year is simply terrible.
WEC is as famous as ever is the only statement I cant ignore. Group C is still the best time to watch Le Mans, the nissans, the mazda 787B was the flying merc from back then? That was the golden age
Who's here after sprint qualifying?
I need verstappen for fastest lap and any driver to get a hat trick. Bet 20 to win 90. He had pole in qualifying. Good sign
Everyone, i presume
NEVER slow down Law. Your content is needed🥲
I wonder how many months it'll be before Law Junior is trying to climb the ladder.
SQ2 for Logie!
Awesome result.
@@desshinnick9365 Not. Still not S3.
If I'm haas, i wouldnt sign bearman. I'll stick with kevin and sign zhou. Develop my facility and sign better drivers in 2027
I think Bearman being a Ferrari junior makes quite a difference, not just because of the obvious part of engine discounts (not sure how that stacks up against Zhou's sponsorship) but because saying ok Ferrari we've got your back and then getting a potentially very good driver for 2-3 years can pay off.
At some point pay drivers start to hurt the team because no decent driver with a choice wants to sign for a team who perform badly.
Haas going back to his original NASCAR team, most likely as a Ford team, it will be interesting to see if they may become a fore customer team if Ford does well in F1.
Mmmmm, I think they may go back to Chevy
@@deathmachineyt3254 definitely possible, I feel like it was Stewart who decided to go to Ford anyway, he had most control of nascar due to Haas having the F1 team.
@@whopperinmyyard1 yeah, that's definitely the case
Zhou to Haas looks pretty likely to me. Not only sponsorship money bit advertising/goodwill in the Chinese market. Oh, & FOM will owe Gene a big favour if he keeps Zhou in F1
Zhou, Kmag, and umm Ricciardo?
Edit: CORRECT!
Add Sargeant, Bottas and Ocon. All six should be gone in favor of new talent.
@@gwcrispi Bottas has been dominating Zhou this year especially in Quali and would have scored points 4 times (Australia, Japan, China, Barcelona) if it wasn't for 2 horrible pitstops, an engine blow and getting put on the worst strategy known to man
Ocon also was better than Gasly until Alpine decided to fire him
It’s almost like you see the thumbnail lol
@@nikobellic2515 it hadn't loaded for me yet lol
@@Lappali He still is, lol
Haas just borrowing parts and money from other teams. While Andretti got a whole legit team and actual car.
This whole thing about RB being a junior team does not make sense, especially from the angle of share holders.
Here is my take, if you have the opportunity to put competitive drivers in a seat and win points in the constructors championship and win more money in the process. I don't see any share holders complaining. Although share holders will complain though if there is a team demarcated as a junior team that has no potential to get points. Helmut Marko is patting his own back by using a third party like "shareholders" to basically voice his own intentions. I think Marko himself has been relegated in this whole RedBull power struggle and media gossip is the only possible channel via which he can remain somewhat relevant.
Some good points. DR may have been the bait for VIsa. But his star is fading and Liam does appear quite marketable. Interestingly he has seemed edged Yuki of late. Was about 3 tenths up most of weekend in Spain (except qualy) but perception is maybe too little, too late. Not helping of course is him running the Spain car whereas Yuki reverteted to old car. Still DR got to within 0.02 in sprint qualy.
@@AJames-jr8kw sprint qualy was bad for both in Austria yesterday
I know. Yuki only 0.025 faster than Daniel in Q1 and he was in the old car he used to regularly make Q3. Like Checo he seems to have lost a bit since signing for 25.
0:55 apparently the Chinese pronounce their names backwards, so where we read Zhou Guanyu, they read Guanyu Zhou. This is why the 3 letters next to his name read ZHO rather than GUA
What kind of money is ricciardo bringing at this point that makes this Billy Madison situation worth it? The idea of him getting replaced mid-season or next year seems to be going over well in favor of Lawson. He's at the end of his career, and he's the only one who's unaware. Checo just renewed, but he's been openly talking about a retirement since last year. If ricciardo wants to retire at Red Bull, VCRB is as close as he's going to get.
Brings in just over $30 million and will cost the team $20-$40 million. The problem is he's a part timer as well.
kmag in the caddy for wec next year
I really want to see you at 2M subs and still climb up the lather! ahah It's going to be so awesome!
2:50 that cut gave me more whiplash than verstappen in a late 2021 race
You can't apologize for mental image after you have already stated it. 😬
Haas don't like having to deal with sponsorship deals, because he wants all the say in big decisions. Zhou is a former Alpine Academy driver. He does being big money and eye balls to whoever he drives for.
Maybe, Red Bull and Visa Racing Blue Balls Bulls Cash App Alphatauri Toro Rosso RB should be actually separated into different teams with Horner heading one team and Helmut Marko running the other. Maybe, then there with be peace with the European office and the Thai office.
Gene has money but at times he seems loathe to spend it... so it will be interesting to see if Haas will reprioritize funds towards the F1 project.
As far as Ricciardo goes he is a pawn in the Horner Marko war which doesn't seem to ever have ceased. Granted the performances have not been there like many of us hoped but I don't think he is quite the hopeless case that Jacques Villeneuve suggested.
One would hope that VISA and CashApp are locked in with RB for the longer term because I have a feeling the attempt to have a recognisable face attached to them to justify the sponsorship with the team might suffer if Daniel is swapped for a somewhat lesser known Kiwi no shade on Liam he is seemingly a bloody good driver.
I used to back DR but he's had enough chances it's time & the sun had set on his carreer.
Haas is too cheap to invest his own money. He'll find another sucker... I mean _"Investor"_ to screw over... I mean _"do business with."_
I feel badly for Kevin. You can see "dejection" in everything that he says and does now, compared to his re-entry to the sport.
Zhou is a steady midfielder, at best. That security + his sponsorship $$$$$ are the only reasons that he's still in F1. He'll never win a championship. Not even in the best car.
As for Daniel, he's capable, but only in a car in which he feels comfortable. The last time he had that, was in his days driving for Red Bull.
Mixed feelings as a Kiwi that has always been a fan of Danny Ric. I think once the decision was made to keep Perez, Rics Tier 1 options dissolved. Be fantastic to see Liam get a drive all the same.
Although I’m not a fan of Haas and borderline hate them. It’s good to see a team finally pick skill over money. So tired of terrible drivers on the grid purely bc of the money or media they bring aka Stroll, Danny Ric, zhou, checo, bottas. F1 is top of the food chain for racing kind of sad when you have drivers wasting a grid seat.
The Ladder Back Story would be cool to hear - how did the ladder idea come about?
Zhou has a future in modeling ricciardo maybe as a commentator k mag wouldn't call him bad he just drives recklessly for the team given he drives a haas
K-Mag DTM?
Yet we'll never be rid of Stroll...
You can not say "I apologize in advance" after having done the deed.
Magnussen should have been out of F1 2 years ago, Ricciardo welcome to NASCAR, Zhou I'll see you on one of the Toyota Hypercars in WEC, Goodluck... and OCON, don't really see it, but if HAAS doesn't want you, enjoy Indycar? The way I see F1 NOW, its gotten STALE with its drivers... a lot of them need to go... Lawson, regardless sign with Audi.
Ocon is one of the top 10 drivers in the grid. What are you smoking😂💀
Ocon is right around the middle on pace in F1--he's too fast to be shown the door completely. He is the best option still available besides Sainz--both Audi and Haas want him. I think he'd actually fit really well with Haas.
@@RobertoRodriguez-fe2ts no he ain't haha
@RobertoRodriguez-fe2ts Ocon is a 🤡 and will barely if at all get an offer from anyone in F1, just watch... if I was HAAS or Audi, I don't want him ANYWHERE NEAR BEARMEN OR HULKENBERG.
@@arkangelarkangel1302 he can be clown or anything that you want. But the guy has talent. Multiple podiums including a win in a midfield car. He got into F1 with no money. Pure talent.
Whats magnussen gonna teach bearmann? How yo crash into the wall???
why would RB shareholders prefer a "junior team"? it doesn't make sense whatsoever from an investment perspective.
also, at this point, even Yuki isn't actually a junior driver anymore with 4 years of F1 experience.
i wander why helmut has been told by share holders but not horner horner is team boss and helmut is only a advisor seemed weird
I think it's more because Danny isn't quite blowing anyone away.
If he came in and was considerably better and gave the team new hope, then i'm sure the investors would've been all over him.
But now it might look more profitable to open the door to the new drivers, as Yuki is proving that a "mediocre" driver can still score points, as opposed to the mutltiple race winner Ricciardo.
And yeah, Yuki isn't quite the junior either anymore, but he's tiny.. it does help.
If the RB board/shareholders want VCARB to be the junior team, they have to cough up a lot of money to support the team. At this point in time, Red Bull is not spending a lot of money on funding VCARB. Clearly, VCARB is getting a lot of cash from Visa Cash App, thanks to Danny Ric.
It's where you develop drivers and they need a driver in 2026. DR is at the end of his career and appears to have reached his ceiling.
Strange piece, There are a bunch of young driver's knocking on the door looking for a seat on the grid. there are a number of driver's that maybe should find there is no long a place for them. In order most likely. Sargent, Joe Z, Ocon, KMAG, Ocon, with Danny Ric and Bottas as maybe there's nothing for them. Liam, Ollie, Kimmi, and Jack all probably should have a seat. I thought share holders cared about finical return. pretty sure a lot of the second teams sponsors are on board because of Danny. Didn't we get told late last year that the 2nd team where now going to be a proper F1 team not simply a junior team for driver training for the Red Bull team. What Danny seems to be getting his rhythm back and given the team have giving him the new spec car at the current race and Yuki is back in the old version then it's pretty clear Yuki cant develop the car. Seems Daniel and the engineering team have the new spec car close to the old one as his Sprint Quali was what 100th off Yuki in the old spec car. It will be intersting to see how the RB five driver thing turns out. If I was Liam management I'd be knocking on every team with a seat available
DR should just jog on from the sport honestly, liam is much youcnger and his run in the 2021 dtm season and 2023 super formula showed us what he can do. DR only has his smile atm with 0 pace
Him and Tsunoda are the 3rd closest qualifying pairing on the grid and Daniel has had a better weekend than tsunoda over the past two weekends maye
@@bigdawg44444 are you dumb? He's been in the sport for god knows how long, hes already had 250 gps to his name. And he only had 3 better weekend than tsunoda from the 10 gps that we've raced so far id rather have liam with a better future than a middle aged guy who always says "tH3 cAR DidN't sUIt mY Dr1v!n9 STyl3" for his poor performance since he moved to McLaren. Fact is: DR IS WASHED
Man, I really hope Drugovich gets a seat at Williams or Sauber. I understand that Zhou is a good guy and Bottas is experienced. But let's admit it. We already have enough information to understand the Chinese potential. Bottas in Williams would make good memes, but that's it. I wanted a renewal on the grid with Lawson, Antonelli, Bearman, Doohan and Drugovich.
Zhou could do well as a reserve driver, allowing him to showcase his skills to a team and maybe get a seat a few years down the road. unlikely, but it will keep his name around
@@christophermiller769 Yup. Maybe he could have a chance at Haas if Bearman doesn't do well. The Englishman is not doing very well in F2 this year.
Alpine maybe? But Gasly and Sainz would be a very strong team. It would be more advantageous for him if the chosen driver was Doohan (or better yet, Schumacher. After all, the chances of the German doing something stupid are real).
@@slip13inc I could see him back at Alpine. If Doohan gets promoted, I could see Martins doing another year of F2 and Zhou being the reserve driver
Danny Ric would be an ideal team mate for Oliver Bearman.
lolololol thanks for that. DR doesn't tend to build team mates. He's also a part timer. And as his Hollywood gig grows that will become more so. I wonder who would be a good current team mate. Bottas?
KMag's 2024 season is akin to the end of Thelma and Louise. When facing a cliff edge, just accelerate.
hey I don't think you linked the sargent video at 0:39
It's a card in the video
The Kevin Magnussen slander slays three people: the speaker, the spoken to, and the spoken of
I think now is a good time for Zhou to bow out. He's still quite rated and he's done his country proud, but the cracks are starting to show.
I'd love to see him stay. I like the guy.
Haas going for an all new driver line up, with one rookie confirmed.
Feels like 2021 again.
Like your video but why are you perched on a ladder in your attic?
To contain my lofty thoughts
1/ There is no room in the house.
2/ there is a young one down there and this was the only place he could guarantee peace
3/ he thought it would be an awesome point of difference that would catch attention
4/ it was that or the closet
5/ the house is messy and this was the cleanest space
Thank you for acknowledging that there are drivers with **worse** "anger issues" than Yuki
Oh of course. Yuki is punchy but he is respectful most of the time and apologises when he realises he crossed a line. Isack is the new Esteban.
Kmag is based af and i quite like him but his time is up. Id like to see new drivers at HAAS.
Hey Law, did you talk about the idea of Sargeant to Haas? Would be cool for an American to be there, or does Mercedes own him?
Oh this is a good idea. He still makes too many mistakes. He'd need to shine for the rest of the season.
I find it interesting in the discussions around Zhou by pretty much all the F1 pundits is the rapidly decaying relationship between the West and China. Gene may have once been interested in selling automation to China, but given the current and trending political climate regarding China, and after what he went through with his business relationship with Russian companies, he's no longer looking to the China. And I wouldn't be surprised if this is a factor in the other team's thoughts regarding Zhou. Zhou is clearly a competent driver, but he has ever increasing political baggage hanging on him.
Dani Ric Should Sign with Haas. He's a dependable veteran and could help them out only downside it's another car he has to learn.
Get the best drivers (Hamilton, Verstappen etc) & put them behind Haas, Williams etc and it won’t make enough of a difference to make money. The cars are not good enough..
If Daniel is booted from RB, he'd be perfect for Haas, a great replacement for Nico, great for the sport in America. Maybe he can make a comeback from nowhere like Nico.
I'd like to see Bottas at Haas with Bearman (nothing against K-Mag)
How can there be a team with 4 cars and 2 are considered Junior team? Junior teams should be in F2 no? I dont get F1 and how it is so selective with who they will let in but then they let one team have 4 cars with 2 being regular back marker teams. Let Audi, Andretti and anyone else compete and push out the back markers.......
WAIT, how is he a viking?
So say Guenther.
Kmag is Danish = Viking.
Vikings are great at sailing not at driving a F1 car
@@daphneschuring5810 time to install some shields, a dragon bust, and red/white striped sails to the car
@@BruceKarrde The HBO is an American fantasy
DO you think Haas would take sponsorship money from Alfa Romeo? With the Ferrari engine in back wouldn't this happen?
K-Mag rocks! What a bore without him. I hope K-Mag can follow Hulkenberg. That would be smoking’ awesome!
Ok hear me out. Daniel Ricardo to haas to help bearmen and Lawson to rb
I'm just wondering with Ricciardo that given he's not been that far off Yuki if they have delayed signing him on for next year due to Perez poor performance recently. I wounder if Checo doesn't pick up before the Summer break they will put Ricciardo in next year which could of been in Checo's contract. you could argue if that was the case why did they sign Yuki, but i wonder if that was to prevent him going else where and they probably won't want to have someone like Yuki or Sainz with Max to prevent a clash. Think all this PR about danny being dropped is just noise to make money.
I’ve had these same thoughts.
DR is done. I can't imagine Horner will be prepared to drag his reputation down further by persevering with DR after his Perez decision.
Whoever is truly responsible for driver signings at Red Bull, be it Horner or Marko, they have screwed up big time. Resigning Checo was a massive mistake. There are four teams with a realistic chance of podiums in F1 at the moment but only seven cars. Checo got beaten by a Haas on merit in Austria. Red Bull's second driver should not be competing for best of the rest. Also at a loss to understand why they renewed Yuki's contract. If the primary function of that team is to develop junior drivers, Yuki is not that. Yes he is still young, but he has been around long enough now for Red Bull to know how good he really is. While he has generally been the faster driver at RB this year, he does not appear to be a team leader. None of us actually know what happens behind closed doors but I suspect Yuki is a bit lacking when it comes to helping the team improve the car. Daniel hasn't been fast enough on track but if they consider Lawson a future race winner in the senior team I think he would do better partnered with Daniel over Yuki. Having an experienced team mate must surely help an inexperienced driver. They could have bumped Yuki up to replace Checo for a year or two while they assessed Lawson properly. Yuki might not be good enough to take over the lead roll when Max eventually leaves but he can't be any worse than Checo as a number two.
i think kmag would fit well in the american motorsport scene and would support him there
he was a very competitive IMSA GTP racer but Hass grabbed him back . Maybe Ganassi will take him back, or Andretti will take him for WEC or IMSA.
Alfa have literally NOTHING to do with Steak/Sauber...why are you bringing them into this?? Do you not know how sponsorship works??? Please, tell me how Alfa are involved??
who did Zhou drive for in 2022 and 2023?
Alfa Romeo were Sauber’s previous title sponsor BEFORE Stake
gene spends close to the cost cap
Idk why but I see Zhou in WEC
@LawVS China market is not that hot anymore due to that most of rhe money a company makes in China is locked within China sense 2016. You are not allowed to move monet ypu made on Chinese market outside China.
I see. Thanks for the clarification.
How brainwashed can people be? If that were the case then why are there so many properties sold to mainland Chinese in Hong Kong, Singapore and Canada?
Why does Horner tolerate Marko? He needs to curtail Matko, and Verstappen, Sr. Note: This is not a keep Ricciardo comment, it's a "why would a ream leader tolerate such disruption" comment.
He can't. Marko reports to the Red Bull company, not Red Bull Racing
They have typically worked well together, with the disagreements leading to better decisions. Sadly with Horner taking more control the decisions have become weaker.
@@desshinnick9365 That may well be, but it seems to me that Marko is trying to run the team lately. Disagree behind closed doors.
Love you ladderman, but do keep in mind the term ‘tool’ means something else to Australians!
Nobody is going to keep a billion $ tied up in a training exercise. Helmut hasn't gotten the memo. While Riccardo stays close to Tsunoda I can't see them dropping him. Then it's quite possible that RBR are forced sell Racing Bulls, Riccardo is worth money
If DR stays close to Tsunoda, he's gone. He has no future value. They are better to try a new guy and see if they can develop a future Red Bull Driver. Currently Tsunoda is the likely Red Bull 2026 driver if Perez continues his slump.
If they bring in a new guy, anyone, Theo Pouchaire, Liam Lawson or anyone, there is a chance that person can have a higher season, may out perform Tsunoda and then they have their Red Bull driver sorted.
And for me Théo Pourchaire should get an F1 shot.
ngl given the current state of US sanctions on Russian companies, I doubt Haas end up sending any money uralkali's way
Alpine is CLOSED for business. Gasly hass extended the contract, and Carlos Sainz Jr. would be partnering him next season.
What about Bottas...
Well when half the lineup is there to not beat the other half might have room for the actual best drivers not washed up , pay driver's who make this series the joke it is
Hot take: Magnussen should race for Haas Factory Team in Xfinity.
Reminder that Danny ric was only 0.003 quicker in terms of race pace in the Spanish GP even tho yuki had a broken floor
Bottas Bearman to Haas I want the BB team
They aren't Audi yet...
Redbull still has another Rookie... a very representative European of the european mindset.... Juri Vips
What about the rumour gene haas is dying and selling up stuff for his family not to put in the f1 team
Nah Danny got Aussie charm. He's good. 😉
