@Machpants in second 😁
Yup still getting smashed. 12 wins vs 2, 364 points vs 219. I don't get your point. Red Bull are leagues ahead of all the other teams and Verstappen is leagues ahead of Perez.
Oh no doubt Perez isn't as good as Verstappen, but I think it shows the advantage the car has when Perez can drive like shit for half the season and cruise to second. Bearing in mind Perez is clearly deemed as the 2nd driver.
Verstappen is something else, but my point is even with an average driver, the car still leads the pack.

F1 has always been a technology battle, always struck me as odd in regards to the ego's of some F1 drivers knowing full well that if next year they got a dud car they'd be struggling at the foot of the table regardless of how hard they tried.
Still keeps the sport entertaining I guess.

Great result for Lawson, looking quite at home under the ‘bright lights’ of F1. Riding a positive wave and that’s what being a rookie in F1 is all about! Onwards and upwards, would be amazing if he could pick up a points finish in one of these two opportunities he probably has left this season.
Piastri hasn’t looked quite as comfortable on track at Singapore so far, few good laps but not consistently comfortable. No doubt will be looking forward to also having the full set of upgrades Norris was running on his car for Suzuka. -
I guess the Japanese driver comes with some money

The team will stick with their current pair of Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda next year.

After watching a bit of Drive to Survive, I totally agree. I did not realise how much having commercial backers who will bring money to the team matters. Lawson is a very talented driver with much less backing. But either way he will be a success, whether it be for AT or RB in future, another F1 team, or in Indy car or anyone else who will pay drivers to race

He's Japanese in a team with Honda engines. The person to move on would be Ricciardo, but they probably want him for car development.

He's still a RB academy driver. But when he leaves, if he doesn't get a seat with them he's put himself out in the shop window if other teams are looking for a talented young driver who can earn points. He took 3 races to get 2 points, Tsunoda has accumulated 3 points after racing every GP this season
