The only thing is this Honda pay out to keep Yuki in RBR..then he'll still be in RB but in the carbon team.

But what do they gain by doing that

I'll double down and say Racing Bulls has a faster car. Max should swap with Yuki and win some races

Like yourself I support the team, feel sorry for Yuki but RBR would be better off with HAD by MAX now. It was a 2-3 at Zandvoort and where was Yuki, too bad he can't get used to the RB21.

Hadjar is very fast . But just like Yuki he won't see the podium in the RB21.
The RB21 Frankenstein car is terrible to drive with (!)

Hadjar would fail too , just like :
1- Daniel Ricciardo
2- Pierre Gasly
3- Alexander Albon
4- The KitKat man (aka. Sergio Perez)
5- Liam Lawson
6- Yuki Tsunoda

The Algerian Isack Alexandre Hadjar would/will be number 7...

And honestly , as for 2026 and the RB22 I fear the worst (!)
It's like a giant sign on the wall with 2 French idiotic Red Bull designers and an 'experimental Ford espresso machine under the hood .
The situation with the 2 French idiots looks like a parody (!)
I really hope I'm wrong...

The only thing we can hope for in 2026 is the MAX-Factor

Even so I think HAD is the man

'Ultra short rear wing' and reworked aero from the front just for Monza is set to give the 21 the highest top speed here though slightly slower on the few turns.

I agree there on HAD, he seems to be the real deal

Ricciardo
Gasly
Albon
Perez
Lawson and Tsunoda with their call up for RBR

'Zandvoort also brought another example of Red Bull making significant overnight progress between the first and second days of a race weekend'.
Red Bull are suddenly on a roll and this progress can be carried on to Monza as this championship is far from over with many races still to go, cracks have started at McLaren with a DNF for them through worn equipment.

Both McLarens are getting new PU for Monza so no worries.

He needs a new car to put his new PU in

RBR has been very competitive on the faster tracks so I expect Max will do well.

It's still the free practices and therefore of little significance...
On the other hand :
No one was faster than MAX with mediums in the long runs . So far so good

HAD leading TSU again, LAW also, about time Yuki pulled his finger out. Great guy with lots of fans but lets wait for FP2 then I'll find a song for him maybe

[M5Rick]

FP2 starting and PIA has a cracked rear view mirror ...

[M5Rick]

Red flag: Ant strands himself in a gravel trap, gets out and walks away from FP2.

[M5Rick]

PIA and BOR being investigated after FP2 for yellow flag infringements as Norris smells blood and goes top but quite ragged.
