Colapinto has 4 points, Ricciardo has 12, Gasly 8, Bearman 7

I mean he's got a third of the points Albono has in 2 races.

That car could be a surprise packet next year

Let the wild unnecessary speculation begin

"Daniel, don't tell them Max is leaving."

I mean ir looks like he's done sadly.

He's done reasonably well in races against Yuki the last 6 rounds or so, but it's not enough.

Him being the 5th wheel is the right call. Which if they've decided to go that way, I don't know why you'd delay it any further, give Liam as much time behind the wheel as you can.

Sounds like Iwasa is the reserve driver next year too.

Dan will drive NASCAR

I know I'm a Dan fan, but I reckon he is a little unlucky this time (if the rumours are true)...

This season, in race finishes against his teammate, it is 9-8 to Ricciardo. If you include sprints, Ricciardo leads Tsunoda 11-9.

Since they changed his chassis after Ricciardo suggested something wasn't right, Ricciardo has beaten Tsunoda 7-2 on race weekends (that's the last 9 races).

I suppose the unlucky part is that has timed itself with the VCARB being overtaken by basically all the other teams (bar Sauber) so even though he is driving better and finishing higher, there are no points on offer for it to count in the championship. Had he gone past Tsunoda in the championship (as his race results would suggest), it would make the decision to move him on significantly harder.

Not Hadjar?

 

[Cromulant]

Not Hadjar?

It was a Marko line, but its expected to be Iwasa
