·It wasnt if but when Checo got the elbow, sure his replacement has been thought out carefully, by management and Max, at least I hope so.
RED BULL: This guy has only done 11 races, let's put him in the 1st team with four times WDC Max Verstappen
RED BULL: This guy has done 18 races and he still hasn't got outqualified Max, who else have we got?
Maybe. I guess it depends whether the 2025 Red Bull is as hard to drive as Checo made it look in 2024.
Surely you build the car around your best hope and bring in a second guy with a similar driving style to back him up and maybe even advance design?

Maybe they think it's better to keep Yuki where he is? And maybe it's better for him too... he's a bit hot headed and I imagine he would struggle with the mental side of trying to beat Max.
Perhaps Lawson has youth on his side in that he hasn’t ‘settled’ into a style or preference and so can still adapt to a nose or tail happy car?
