actually wait i'm still angry with how dts ran with the storylines it ran. someone in redbull/alphatauri management decided that yuki wasn't ready despite approaching his third year on the time and instead they put pressure on an f1 rookie and then gave both of them a dogshit car
then proceeded to mentally torture nyck to the point where he was getting desperate, making him crash out during races
both yuki and nyck deserved so much better, alphatauri was literally stated to be the testing ground for future redbull drivers and they had no faith in the one that has been with them? yuki is going to make like alex and leave the team for another backmarker team and revive the hell out of them because this is so bullshit
and once alphatauri got the feedback they needed from nyck, they dropped him and pulled daniel in to do the same to checo
and no, it was not daniel that ultimately got alphatauri's eighth place. yuki alone had 17 points, one more than alfaromeo combined. yes, daniel's 7th place in mexico gave hope, but even if nyck stayed at the bottom of the driver's championship with 0 points, yuki would've beaten alfaromeo single-handedly

Let me rant. Because I'm tired of all this Yuki hate 😣🫠
My thoughts on the whole AlphaTauri driver seat mess + Liam Lawson Not Getting A Seat issue. My blame is on HELMUT MARKO. The main reason why we are going through this mess.
Thoughts:
1. Helmut lost his faith in the Red Bull Junior Academy program after the whole Gasly-Albon situation back 2019 and 2020.
2. I suspect Helmut and Franz did not see eye to eye anymore after what happened with Gasly and Albon. So, Helmut greenlight the hiring of Checo. And Franz in retaliation/rebellion promotes Yuki Tsunoda.
3. I also suspect Gasly and Albon already knew Helmut wouldn't be promoting any RedBull Junior drivers after Yuki. So, they bid their time in AlphaTauri while helping Yuki grow and mature into a driver that would make Franz Tost proud.
4. For the 2022 silly season, Helmut goes behind Franz's back and signs Nyck for the empty AlphaTauri seat. (note: if any of you come for me with "Franz also lost faith in the RB junior driver program by trying to get Mick" here me out I think Franz wanted Mick because has already done 2 seasons in F1 so in theory Mick just needs 1 more season to complete Franz's belief of "It takes 3 seasons for a rookie driver to bloom/mature in f1" and note 2: I think if Franz's plans to hire Mick was greenlight this could have given Liam more time to grow and learn during the SF season)
5. We won't have this mess if RBR drops Checo for performance issues. Because let's all be honest, Checo's performance for 2023 isn't exactly RBR standards ¯⁠\⁠(⁠◉⁠‿⁠◉⁠)⁠/⁠¯ I mean if 2019!Pierre or 2020!Alex did the shit 2023!Checo was doing it might have gotten either Pierre or Alex kicked out of RedBull for good 😬 like RBR should stay consistent...
6. We could have avoided this mess if RBR just took better care of Danny Ric during 2018....
But what is the solution to this situation? 🧐
A. Buy Out Checo's contract. Give the RB seat to Liam (since alot of people say he deserves it) and IF Liam cannot cope with the pressure of being in the RB seat demote him to AlphaTauri and give the RB seat to Danny Ric IF his results are amazing
B. For the long term solution: FIRE/KICK OUT Helmut Marko and HIRE Franz Tost as the new RB advisor because Tost has more experience than Helmut in seeking out talented drivers
