Silly Season 2020/2021 (starting with silliness in 2019)

Kvyat returning from Ferrari?

That’s to alpha tauri not the main team, I’m talking the main Red Bull team.

Mark Webber, David Coulthard, Robert Dornboros...

The point is, they can do it if motivated...

I know they can, those drivers were hired well before they had a junior program. I was just trying to get my point across that more than likely it’s going to be a junior going in and won’t be outside help....

Depends what way you look at it really, I think Alex Albon had no ties with RedBull in January 2019, wasn't he a formule E driver for Nissan, then the same year, he's driving a RedBull

If the junior program was the point, Kvyat wouldn't have needed to be called back.

I think they’ve ran out of juniors with enough super license points

[NathanOlder]

Yeah that to me says they promote too early because they throw away their experienced drivers too early. Plus they don't make the main team very nice for the non favourite driver.

Seb to RBR, Albon to AT, Kimi to Ferrari, Kubica to AR, Kvyat out.

All by Belgium!

Given Kyvat was a ferrari test driver, i can see him going to Alfa Romeo. He would be more handy than Kubica.

[ringo]

A returning RB programdriver like Seb or DR is far more likely than a non-RB program driver imo.

Having said that I do think Vettel is otw to Aston

Perez is a much stronger driver than Vettel right now. Vettel would be a downgrade for aston martin.
The only thing vettel may have going for him is marketability in Europe. Perez as a mexican cannot be marketed as well by Aston Martin, unless they want to boost sales in central and south america.

[JordanMugen]

I would think Albon being 'relegated' to STR would have him looking for another team. ....but Renault RP Ferrari would all look good to him and he would be a good fit in any of them 2021 on

If not for Red Bull, Albon wouldn't be in Formula 1 at all.

I doubt those other teams (or Haas or Alfa Romeo) would take Albon, anymore than they would take Gasly or Kvyat... None of which they will take.

It's mutual, Red Bull refuses rejected McLaren or Mercedes juniors like Vandoorne or Wehrlein in the same way, even though they are relatively competent drivers.

People forget that Albon was never Redbulls choice, it was Dan the man Ticktum. Redbull did everything to get the next Dan up from F3 to F1 ala Verstappen. Unfortunatley for him he lost out the title to Schumacher, so not enough superlicence than he got walloped in Asia series and Super formula then Redbull dropped him. Albon is superlucky to be in F1 but the guy deserves some recognition, he is a very good racer even for a rookie his racecraft was miles better than the likes of Grojean and Magnussen. He needs to work on his quali and high fuel pace but no one can deny his racing qualities. He is a far better overtaker than Bottas, Gasly, Perez and even Vettel. Vandoorne and Wehrlein had their opportunity, the latter was a Mercedes hype job who couldn't even out perform Haryanto consistently.

[PlatinumZealot]

Wherlein was not that bad actually.

[raymondu999]

He was overhyped a bit tho

[Hoffman900]

He was overhyped a bit tho

To be fair, RedBull is the ultimate hype sponsor. They're going to hype everything to the n'th degree.

Riccardo said it best in DTS, "they're there to make headlines".

[ENGINE TUNER]

Wherlein was not that bad actually.

He is actually Very good, better than ocon

Now he is probably going to show well with Porsche in Formula E.

[Schuttelberg]

Looks like Toto Wolff has taught George Russell the art of lying really well.. Trolling actually. Not lying.

Love the dope George is having to dish out about Claire not letting him go!

I see what you did there...
