Max Verstappen will replace Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull with immediate effect :d

 

Obviously huge news here in the Netherlands, but personally I'm not just happy with it. The time of being incredibly excited with a 4th or 5th place is already over now...every time he doesn't finish on the podium, it's like "well it could have been better...".

For Italian television Kvyat was resend to Toro Rosso for the Vettel's accident and they must send to Red Bull Verstappen (If I understand correctly)

I don't think it's just the thing with Vettel, because it would be too much to replace a rider for one mistake. It's probably more because of Kvyat being pretty "up and down" ever since he came in F1 --> Good races, but also (too) many bad races and mistakes.

 

Now we know Ricciardo is better than Kvyat and Verstappen is slightly better than Sainz. The next thing is Ricciardo vs Verstappen (next year, because of course Verstappen first has to get used to a new car) and Kvyat vs Sainz. If Sainz loses, his F1-career is probably not going well because then he lost against someone who was rejected by RBR. If Kvyat loses, his career is probably over, because then he lost against an "inexperienced" driver. 

 

The only one who is comfortable now is Verstappen, because if he loses against Ricciardo this season it's normal, but if Ricciardo loses against Verstappen, Ricciardo has a problem :p

  • 2 weeks later...

Epic qualifying for Verstappen yesterday :bowdown:

 

It's so awesome to have a driver who is 1. seriously talented and 2. in a seriously competitive car for the first time in history! And it's really awesome to "feel" the vibe here of everyone really looking forward for today's race, I've never ever felt that before. Normally he should finish 4th if there are no weird things happening, but who knows...a historic podium might be possible..(the only Dutch driver who ever got on the podium was his father Jos, twice...well, once he got on the podium and another time he got 3rd because someone was DQ'ed afterwards, although J Verstappen didn't physically get on the podium there).

    • It’s simply the only skating event where jumps don’t matter, only choreography. And how much you bribe the judges matters too.
    • Can’t say I understand how scoring works in ice dance, the rest are easy to determine how good of a score based off spins during jumps
