Six races left, I think, to cement his place. Hope he goes well
Nope. He has a contract for next year. These 5 races are just a move to give him reps early, in preparation for 2025
Where did you get this? Not read this anywhere
Sauce. Could be wrong but it's close. I might have misunderstood though, but I thought he's pretty much locked in to drive next season for one of the RB teams
To clarify, nothing is guaranteed, if he does really badly that could be it. But the fight for places at RB and the sister team is wide open, especially if Perez "retires"

if its speed your talking about, indy cars have a higher top speed
maybe just under 400 kph (240+ mph)
hamilton said he shit himself when he went for a spin in indy caras for drivers
with a development racing class like F1 the winning drivers seem to be the ones who can make the correct adjustments
one bad tweak and you are back in the pack
you want the driver and engineer to be totally in sinc
i've noticed the relationship between driver and engineer has become closer and closer of the years
engineer usually the first one to get thanked when the driver has a winracing is great now, but a new formula is coming in 2026 i think . . . maybe change everything

Weird that the only thing Hamilton has said about Indycar is that he'd love to give it a go sometime.

I vaguely remember seeing the comparisons and I'm pretty sure indy was only faster in a straight line, F1 would still get around a track quicker.
Yeah, when Indycar are setup for oval they are seriously fast. The track differential though is nuts. If you benchmark f1 to 1:30, Indy Car would do same track in 1:42. That’s ridiculously slow.

Interesting...
Tsunoda 'expected' to follow Ricciardo out of Red Bull and join nine-podium team
They simply don't rate him...

Marko is very high on Lawson. And in his stint last year he bettered him. Also they won't be driving Honda engines next season so RB probably feel less inclined to keep him for commercial reasons

Good to see there is so a chance for Liam to step up to the top team
Liam Lawson gets F1 chance to replace Pérez alongside Verstappen at Red Bull
Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, has indicated Liam Lawson has an opportunity to make his case to replace Sergio Pérez alongside Max Verstappen at the outfit
