AlphaTauri continues with Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo. It is expected that this will be officially announced this weekend. No ‘Silly Season’ this year. Nineteen places will remain unchanged next year, only Sargeant is still uncertain at Williams.
Aww man, they can’t pull Lawson out of the car when he’s performing this good. He even finished ahead of Perez last race! At least let him race Suzuka, he’s already experienced in that track from his Super Formula races.
no he did not finish ahead of Perez. He finished just 1 spot behind Perez though and that is commendable
He qualified ahead of Perez and Max but finished behind both.

This isn’t about pulling him for Suzuka, this is about the driver lineup for 2024. Ricciardo isn’t expected back until Qatar at earliest or maybe even COTA.
Sargeant I believe is confirmed but unsigned for next season, due to Williams bringing him in earlier than expected. Also, fuck yeah. I’m as big a fan of Yuki’s as anyone, so I can’t say I’m anything other than happy to hear this!
Where do they want to put Lawson then? Williams?
Think Lawson will be the sim/development driver for red bull similar to what albon did for them and piastri did for Alpine.
When was the last time there was no silly season? I cannot honestly remember
