You really think there is zero correlation between Kvyat and Verstappen?
That is the historical data that RBR and Marko have in the public domain.
None. Kvyat wasn’t fast enough and didn’t develop anymore.
Kvyat was fast enough to be on the podium the race before his demotion.
Raw speed (the ability to be faster then his teammate during qualifying), the progression in speed and adaptability over the seasons (which is one of the main reasons RedBull follow their drivers so closely) and the sometimes brilliant over takes he makes (when he doesn't F it up)
It's his fourth season in F1, if he was going to calm down he'd have done it by now. Just about the only thing that may calm him down is an air ambulance ride to a major trauma unit. Even the significant points lost from these four races will have no effect. I like Max, he brings excitement into the sport, we even named our new puppy after him as he is bonkers, flat out and like walking an explosion but Max's hot headedness has cost himself a staggering amount of points, he'd be right in the mix if he had taken a chill pill or four.Jolle wrote: ↑02 May 2018, 14:24Raw speed (the ability to be faster then his teammate during qualifying), the progression in speed and adaptability over the seasons (which is one of the main reasons RedBull follow their drivers so closely) and the sometimes brilliant over takes he makes (when he doesn't F it up)
Kvyat was a rising star during his STR year but didn't develop (enough) in the RedBull and was never really a match for RIC.
VER had the Q upper hand over SAI and over RIC (although slightly) since the second half of the 2016 season. VER is also the first RedBull driver to win a race with the Merc's running without difficulty.
So the biggest difference between KVY and VER, is that VER isn't at the end of his learning curve, KVY was.
RedBull will be reflecting the hell out of the last few GP's with VER.
Teaching/coaching someone to go slower and milder is a lot better to do then to make someone more aggressive and faster.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall Dan being the fastest RedBull driver that weekend and in the box seat for that win until RedBull screwed him over and gave Max a strategy that leap fogged Dan and handed him the win.Jolle wrote: ↑02 May 2018, 14:24

Mal 2017. And at Suzuka he was close as well. In Mex he won without much difficulty because he was the only one who came out unscaved with the first few corners wheel and wing banging.djos wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 00:12Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall Dan being the fastest RedBull driver that weekend and in the box seat for that win until RedBull screwed him over and gave Max a strategy that leap fogged Dan and handed him the win.Jolle wrote: ↑02 May 2018, 14:24

Nope
Sauber have parted company with technical director Jorg Zander.
The Swiss team gave no reason for the German's departure, but said it was with "immediate effect".
