If MCL are 1 and 2 in the final laps with Piastri leading and they order a position swap just so Lando can secure 2nd in the driver's championship, if I was Oscar I'd start looking for a seat on another team.

I think the only person that cares about Lando finishing P2 in the driver's is Lando and any bonus he might get.
McLaren will 100% prioritise the constructor's.

The only other team he could fit into now would be RB.
Because all other challengers are really settled.
Seriously doubt RB have the balls to dump Perez because of the dollars he brings. But having the four-peat WC driver in your team should make attracting sponsors easy.
Shouldn’t it?

They will. There are rumours that at the last race they were in discussions with Williams about signing Colapinto for Credit Card. If they did that then one of Lawson or Tsunoda will need to move up to the big team to make room.

Williams want too much to release colapinto who I doubt is worth it anyway.
Lawson nowhere near ready for RB.
Tsunoda….. Is he want they want? Very combative with the team itself and I’m not sure he give good feedback that can improve the cars performance.
RB missed its chance by not offering Sainz the seat.
Theyll dump him for Colapinto, who brings a lot of $$
They cannot persist with Checo now and Helmut knows it
Sergio Perez racks up his seventh Q1/SQ1 exit after he fails to make SQ2 at the Qatar Grand Prix. His team mate has just won the World Drivers Championship.
Perez has single handedly cost Red Bull the 2024 Constructors' Championship. And he still has a year to run on his contract.
Well done Helmut Marko.

The two guys were both top level bankers, one who previously managed the world bank and were working pro bono for the FIA. They were 2 of 4 members on the financial oversight committee, they noticed some dodgy dealings going on concerning MBS and when they questioned where money was going (MBS bribing his way to re-election), MBS had them fired.
We are reaching FIFA levels of corruption

Lawson is more ready for that seat than Franco Colapinto is.
Disagree.
Colapinto has more raw speed than Lawson, there's no substitute for raw pace. Plus he's got a lot more backing, which makes him a more attractive as a proposition

And to think Helmut wanted DR out of a car and he wants Sergio in one just as much. Bwahahaha senile much.
Who wins Teammate of the Year?
The definition being the driver who has done the most to support their teammate's cause.
My nominees would be KMag & Piastri.
Dishonourable mentions to Checo & Sainz.

Neither look ready for RB imo.
Marko has really ****ed this one up.
Not only lose the teams championship, but drop to 3rd.
Should have targeted Sainz when he was shopping himself around.

Marko and JV both have too big egos for sainz.
But yes I agree they screwed up.

Is Valterri still capable of doing what he did for Mercedes at Red Bull?
Fitness wouldn't be an issue.
He wouldn't be a bad choice, it's hard to know how far he's fallen because that cars been garbage for 2 years.
Lawson hasn't done much better than Dan TBH, which would be disappointing the Red Bull guys. I still think they go with Colapinto because he has speed, and brings more money than Lawson.

Colapinto is too raw and crash prone. They may as well have just kept Dan (especially for what it will cost them to get FC out of williams) if they do that. Lawson is better but not ready. They got spooked on lawsons contract and they are desperate for checos money and they stuffed it all up.
The thing they need to work out is how much is crashing due to pushing the car beyond its limits, and how much is because he's run out of talent.
To me, you pick the guy with the most raw pace and work on the race craft. It wasn't that long ago a 17yo debuted for STR who was blindingly fast but raw.
Guys like Senna, Hakkinen, Giles, Lauda etc were all raw, talent guys. Not saying Franco is as good as those.... but you pick those types every day of the week.

But how many of these guys had the results in junior pedigree that suggested they were going to be what they became.
Franco sorta came out of nowhere with a good performance, and wasn't on anyone's radar before that. Somewhat similar (although big age difference) with Nyck Devries.
Senna and Hakkinen, definitely. The others were speculative.

Hmm it would suck for Colapinto but i would promote Yuki to the Redbull next to Ver.
And promote Hadjar to the RB next to Lawson.
