    Well that’s kinda disappointing. Hadjar definitely deserves the RBR seat, he’s clearly fast, but I hoped it would happen in 2027. I don’t think Hadjar has the experience to give constructive feedback to the 2026 car which means we’ll most likely be back to a car only Max can drive.

    On a side note, I’m amazed they kept Lawson. I guess he’ll be on the chopping block next year if Lindblad beats him as easily as Hadjar has beaten him.

      Pretty much sums it up. I guess they don’t want two rookies in the next generation of car?

    Once again with their late decisions Red Bull blocks their drivers from signing with another team… Yuki will only be a test driver in 2026, and we’ll see if he can pull an Ocon/Albon from there or go into a different racing series

      I think Yuki has been around too long to pull an Ocon/Albon. He has less good will I feel, even thou it’s largely Red Bull’s fault.
