What do you think of the misfortunes of the "second car"? Red Bull Racing ?

gaslyAlbon, Perez and now Lawson, there is a constant at Red Bull that makes it easy for the second driver to jump. I am not privy to the secrets of the gods of Milton Keynes, but everything seems to indicate that they are developing a car for a single driver. Unlike Ferrari ou McLaren, they have a clearly defined number one driver on whom they rely primarily, if not exclusively. The Red Bull has been a difficult car to operate for several seasons, and which is more suited to the driving style of Max Verstappen. He wants a car with a lot of oversteer, almost " snappy ", or very lively when entering a bend.

I share an opinion, Red Bull is making fun of Tsunoda's career given that the collaboration with Honda ends at the end of 2025! The Horner / Marko duo has no problem sacrificing him knowing that he will do little better than Lawson, the car being entirely designed around Verstappen. No matter how talented the second driver is, he will fail!
