    Not in AT…sticking a young talent straight in the top team is very RB though. Albon, Gasly etc.

      I think they’ve learned from Albon and Gasly. It’s probably why Perez got the seat over an inexperienced rookie.

        It’s not really working out though. Checo looks done in.

        He is a very good driver, but I think the team is done with him, his morale must be so low. Especially when Helmut opens his gob.

            Ricciardo can be a good second driver if he gets his ego sorted out. His driving style is similar to Max and he previously stated that he uses Max’s setup as a baseline for his setup because he has more of a by the feeling kind of approach to make a setup of the car.

            Charles would be my choice, the on track action would be great.

            Dominant teams are easier to handle if there’s some competition. Merc with Rosberg was much more fun than Bottas getting spanked every race

              Indeed. I know RB have tried a few times in the past to lure Norris away and he would do a good job. Charles has probably has enough of Ferrari too. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Either one would be a big upgrade on Perez.
