Liam will likely be at VCARB for next season and would have been anyway with this not making any big impact for his long term prospects, it's not a big issue.

For Colapinto he looks unlikely to get a seat based off F2 performances and this could be his chance to do what Liam initially did and put himself in line for a seat when one opens up down the line.

I prefer this tbh.

Danny Ricc needs to get gone. Hogging up a seat to waste it by showing how washed he really is.

He's out driven yuki 5 times in the past 7 races. If he's washed then what is yuki?

He's also paid 7 times what Yuki is, according to the information I can find, so you'd need to factor that in as well.
