So Yuki still gets to race in the white car

It's that dark glossy red that makes it, turns it from being an average white livery to being classy and very nice indeed.

In general I think RedBull hasnt been able to build a competitive enough car for this and last season, and for that reason they have had to rely more and more on Verstappens exeptional talent and unique driving style - making the car harder and harder for any other driver in the process. They really need to "reset" to more team friendly car in 2026.

That seems to be the root of the issue, which is the RB21. Apparently the problems have started with last year‘s car but like you said, have been disguised by Max Verstappen‘s exceptional skill level.

Alex Albon‘s comments regarding how small the RB‘s window of performance is are probably true. I saw a performance comparison between Max and Liam from the last two GP‘s and it was evident that Liam was significantly slower at the exit of a corner, like he was scared of the car oversteering.

It looks amazing, indeed! A really nice throwback to Honda’s RA272.

I‘m definitely going to recreate it later today in GT7 once I‘m home from work.

It doesn't work with all the sponsors.

Former F1 Driver Guido van der Garde posted an Instagram article last week that was extremely critical of Red Bull's driver switch, calling it a 'panic action' and 'bullying'. Many noticed that Verstappen liked the post. Today Verstappen confirmed that was deliberate (and of course that's all he's going to say about it).

If your top driver is saying 'this is a bad move, fix the damn car', that's a thing, no?

I would looooove to see Max Verstappen drive a different car.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he left RB at the end of this season.

Aston or Mercedes?

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Probably Aston. I can‘t imagine Mercedes letting go either Kimi or George.

Depends on the season they have, George is out of contract at the end of the year so wouldn't cost them anything.

Aston is more likely, but both are on the table.

I didn‘t know that. Who knows, it would definitely be interesting to see Max in a Mercedes!

Netflix and the DTS people would love a Max & George lineup.

If it was AM I guess Fernando would get the shove, especially if Lance continues his improved form of this early season.

Most likely, yes! Verstappen and Adrian Newey back together would have great potential!

And Honda.

And Honda.

The perfect trifecta.
