It will be
McLaren and Mercedes are simply better, Ferrari is more inconsistent but should be better...and yeah, with Verstappen being the only one able to drive this car for real, that's gonna be tough. They won't magically find another driver who can (I mean, Lawson is not at all a bad driver, Tsunoda is definitely excellent as well and Hadjar, who has lots of raw pace, would probably face the same issue), and just making the entire car competitive for two drivers after at least two years where it's just been tough isn't gonna happen neither...
Oh well, as long as at least the podium riders are within a few seconds of each other on the track, it's at least something
Yeah it doesn't look like the Netherlands has set a standard for nordic combined yet. Mostly because they weren't expecting anyone to qualify. See here.
Once they find out about him, I believe they will then set the standard.
In the last few days, two great results for South American athletics, both with the second best marks in the history of South America
Evelis Aguilar from clocked 49.80 in the 400 metres, a mark very close to the continental record held by Olympic medalist and fellow Colombian Ximena Restrepo with 49.64
Manuela Rotundo from , just 20 years old, scored an impressive 64.17 in the javelin throw at a university competition in the USA. This mark would have earned her a silver medal at Paris-2024 (she did not participate).
Uruguay has not won an Olympic medal since Sydney-2000 and the young Rotundo, a world junior medalist, seems like a good name to keep an eye on in the cycle.
Than Red Bull must find a competitive car for both drivers, otherwise will be very hard to finish even on the podium in the team ranking, Max can't win so many points for the team to reach the podium because Ferrari, Mercedes and Mclaren have both drivers capable to win points each race from now on.
