Tsunodo is a talented rookie and it shows while Mazepin is clearly a talentless hack , op

I’d probably swear like a sailor also if somebody is bugging me while I’m driving a car at 150 while fiddling with a steering wheel that looks like somebody just dumped a bunch of surplus controller parts on it.

Oh and I had to communicate in a second language on top of that.

Also you've had a bit of a poo poo run of the past few races which are also some of your first F1 races so you're constantly trying to focus on redeeming yourself and performing as well as your teammate rather than languishing in the Williams/Alfa/Uralkali "2 laps left when they pop the champagne" bracket.

Like I said, I empathize with the swearing and it's probably something he'll get past once he's more comfortable with how he's doing.

Tsunoda's talent has been massively overstated and is just a marketing ploy to capture the japanese demographic. Gassly is mopping the floor with him, which is expected, but still confirmation Tsunoda is nothing special. He'll last the 2022 season and then get the boot.

"haha, dogs can't smoke!"

By "they" I think they actually mean humiliating losses.

e: also Tsunoda needed to stay in junior series for a few more years. Teams need to stop hiring drivers too young. I've said it before but the run of "wunderkinds" in the form of Alonso, Kimi, Lewis, and Vettel at the start of the century broke a lot of people's brains.

Agreed. And weren't all of your earlier examples in the feeder series a bit longer than Tsunoda? They seem to forget that the feeder series teach a lot more than raw speed, and they keep pulling them forward where they're way out of their depth, doesn't honestly seem fair to both parties as you might squander a talent by pushing it too hard too fast.

Seems to have impulse control issues. Loves to eat, curse, and play video games. Say what you will about Max and Seb but they were amazing for their ages and Red Bull keeps making these long bets on young drivers because of it. Maybe he can borrow Jos for a year and learn the Way of Fist and Wall

With the budget cap and them having unlimited sugar water money just start a third team, more rookie souls to crush.

How does RB have so much money?

I don’t see anyone drinking it anymore. The only place I really see Red Bull outside of a corner store fridge is as a sponsor somewhere.

Are we sure RB isn’t a front for the Austrian mob or something?

And why doesn’t Monster have a team?

I have wondered this exact thing and have found some answers. Basically, it's marketing. Red Bull is now more or less synonymous with 'crazy poo poo'....the product itself is almost irrelevant at this point.

Any Can of Redbull bought in a Jumbo (Dutch Supermarket) is them just laughing all the way to the bank. I won't say I never buy any energy drink but they make insane markups going by brand name only.
