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.

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.

That's a very nice livery!! I like the simplicity but still very striking! Well done to whomever at red bull who designed this!!

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.

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?

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!

I honestly think Max should leave Red Bull (Assuming he doesn't decide to leave F1, which he has plenty reason to). The fact this team is now ignoring him (The guy that is literally the only reason they even have any shot) ontop of all the other crap going on internally is just unacceptable.
Your 4x championship driver should not have to carry your piece of crap car because you continually ignoring at this point ANY driver's feedback about it, including his.

They're a team in crisis and it wouldn't shock me if he gets a deal done early elsewhere and shakes them to the core.
From there, I have absolutely no idea what they would do. Horner and Helmet would surely have to go, I couldn't see how they'd survive that, it's amazing they've lasted this long to be honest. I also think to attract top drivers into the team in the absence of Verstappen, they would have to go, no one would willingly go under them right now.
Take them out of the equation and it would perhaps set Carlos Sainz up to return alongside Tsunoda or Lawson.
Verstappen to Aston Martin Honda with a Newey designed new reg car alongside Lance Stroll with Alonso finally bowing out.
Sainz to Red Bull alongside whoever remains, probably Tsunoda. Colapinto to Williams assuming he doesn't jump into Alpine this season, in which case Bottas to Williams. Perez to Cadillac with Jak Crawford if Bottas goes to Williams, Bottas if he doesn't.

The 12 championships and 200+ Grand Prix wins for all Newey-designed cars makes me lean slightly toward him. 7 different WDCs suggest he’s quite good at tailoring the car to the pilot’s skills - either that or he makes them so good that anyone could drive it, in which case prepare for the Era of Lance.
This is not to do a disservice to Max who is also phenomenal.
