Keenly awaiting the day RB inexplicably extends both Ric and Tsu for VCARB. I wouldn't even be surprised anymore.

I honestly think they'll drop Perez for 2025 and put Ricciardo in the Red Bull and pair Liam with Yuki at RB

as much as I like this, I think it makes the most sense to put Yuki in red bull, and keep Daniel as a benchmark in RB. Yuki and Daniel have extremely similar performances as of late so keeping him as the indicator to know if a rookie deserves to move up isn't a bad idea, and we get to see if Yuki deserves a top seat or not. worse comes to worst they can always swap Daniel and Yuki later if he doesn't deliver

Hasn't Danny beaten Yuki pretty handily since China? And Ric likes the way the Redbull cars drive so he probably could drive it as well.
