Especially right after Brazil, and that video of Williams putting the cars back together. Once it was clear he was ok, my heart mostly hurt for the engineers and mechanics 😞
Red Bull need the Honda engines for another year and they also need support. The biggest motivation would be Yuki on the second seat. He seems ready and they could train and evaluate colapinto and Lawson. Win win for 2025. For 2026 they can get rid of him and move on.
Hi Spanners, is there a reason everyone seems to think Colapinto is so much better than Sargent? I just don’t see it. Guy crashes as much as Sargeant did…
I don't know about crashy, but Max had more incidents than he should in the first few years. It was only when he started to learn about playing the long game he calmed down and became a much stronger driver.
Colapinto has 5 points in 6 races vs Sargeant's 1 point in a season and a half of racing. That alone makes him substantially better. Maybe not a generational talent, but much better than Sargeant.

As much fun as it would be to have a fast but sometimes crashy driver like Grosjean or even Maldonado.. teams can't afford that. Literally
