    Disagree, Checo does enough to secure the WCC and doesn’t cost them lots of money by crashing a lot. His seat is safe as long as the RB is so far ahead.

    Edit: also, as others have said: who would get the seat? None of the good drivers want it because they know they’ve be up against Max, and none of the other drivers is a safer bet than Checo

      Max can win the WCC on his own. They should just rent the seat out. I’d like to see Valentino Rossi in for Monza, Kimi for Vegas, Webber for the Australian GP, DC for Silverstone etc

        Max probably can’t win the WCC on his own if a clear second-fastest car/team with two solid drivers (for example Mercedes) emerges. The reason why Red Bull is so far ahead is partly due to Max obviously, but also because there’s no clear second best team, it’s changing every weekend so they are taking points away from each other.

          I think it’s more that redbull don’t have the balls to put two drivers with more similar performance together like Merc did with Lewis and Nico.

          Merc’s domination got boring as soon as Bottas 2.0 couldn’t deliver.
