I agree hence I said we won't have to wait to see what the Hulk can do .. I've read he's the guy favoured by Horner.

Just saying.
(For some reason that triggers me as much as 'tender' hooks does).
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Not sure RB would want the pain of sponsors (unless it helps fund an engine). The sponsors will want something for their money. RB simply wants a fast driver who'll take orders and support Max.

Albon is toast. I still believe he’s a great driver and that the car and the management atmosphere at RB is to blame. The car is twitchy (Newey has always built flighty cars that are demon quick but only if you can adjust your style to fit the car), Marko and Horner are shit leaders who have created a pretty toxic atmosphere, and frankly expecting anyone to keep up with a generational talent like Verstappen in their 1st or 2nd season is just daft.
I’m guessing he’s pissed Newey off by going on too much about why the car design only works for Max and what should be done to fix it, and Newey has eventually gone to Mateschitz and said “There’s only room for one Technical Director in Red Bull, will it be me or Pierre?”
I don't know for sure, but I believe his behaviour within the team when struggling was not good, lots of moaning/tantrums/blame etc, and I think it's more as a person it's not worth bringing him back rather than his pace, I'm sure he's matured as part of it, but I get the impression Red Bull want to drivers who behave like a professional in the car/team rather than a teenage (which is ironic considering Red Bull hire teenagers as a matter a pride into their squads).
I believe there was also a bit of French press attention to Red Bull around their perceived treatment of him, which again may just not be worth the hassle.
Next year they’ll have two rookie drivers; Williams could probably tell some tales about how well that goes in terms of car development.

Anyone miss the days of really, hideously shit second drivers at lesser teams? I'll never forget someone like Taki Inoue, but someone like a Giovinazzi or Marcus Ericsson are good enough to not embarrass themselves, but never good enough to pull off shock result or earn a drive at a better team.
