There’s absolutely 0 chance that Williams drop Sargeant. They’ve pretty much explicitly said that he was brought into F1 a year earlier than they planned and they’ll be giving him another one. After next year I could see them replacing him, but not after this one
DR will almost certainly be in the seat next year. He’s too important for their advertising, and that’s what matters in the end.
Lawson brings very little to the table outside of being quick. It really sucks for him, but I really don’t see him with a seat next year
I disagree. I think they give both a somewhat equal number of races and then see who finished better.
We did see his real performance in Hungary and Belgium. He is a lot closer to tsunoda than de Vries was but still a little behind what tsunoda has been producing all year
Counterpoint: Yuki's probably off the grid next year no matter what.
Why would he be?
AT are almost certainly not keeping him, and who's going to sign him?
Why would Alpha Tauri not keep Tsunoda?
Liam Lawson exists.
There are two AT seats. So why fire their lead driver? You make no sense at all.
I'm saying I think it'll be Danny Ric and Lawson in the seats. The comments with respect to Honda being the primary reason Tsunoda sticks around makes me believe he won't be on the grid in 2024. That said, I hope I'm wrong.
And why would they definitively put Daniel, a driver with zero points and injured from a self-inflicted accident (bc. he ignored yellow flags), in one of the seats? That makes no sense at all. For that to happen, both Daniel and Liam need to drive half of the rest of the season and in these few races totally demolish Yuki.
You are aware that Honda is still supplying the engines in 2024 and 2025, right?
I...was not aware of the latter, so that's my mistake.
If Lawson replaces someone at AT it'd be Tsunoda. Honda partnering with Aston Martin means they're not going to keep someone just because they're brought by Honda. And DR is like the golden PR boy, they need him when they rebrand to Hugo Boss.
Looked it up, and apparently they recently stated they have an even bigger title sponsor coming. I still think that DR is automatically in if he wants to be in.
Sad that Ricciardo is now somebody who is being considered for his commercial contributions rather than his sporting ones
While true, I do hope he can get back to the top so he can combine his great personality with some more wins.
