toyota being fully willing to write daniel a blank cheque to get him into nascar and the f1 team he poured ten years of his life into couldn’t even let him have a proper goodbye because of a flopping paydriver and a mid rookie

I need everyone upset about Liam's promotion to understand that it had nothing to do with him being better/worse than Yuki. Yuki outperformed him. Yuki deserved the chance. BUT Yuki is not a Redbull driver. He is a Honda driver. He has no loyalty to Redbull and that is why he did not get a chance next to Max. It's not that he didn't deserve it. It's pure business.

Redbull are ending their relationship with Honda. They are creating their own engines. It's likely seen as a big liability to Redbull to have Yuki actively involved in any tests or even near anything involving the 2026 engine.

This is not an attack on Yuki or his character or anything like that, so please do not take it that way. But, Yuki's loyalty to a different engine manufacturer is a major risk to any new manufacturer like the Ford/Redbull powertrain. You just never know. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a good drive, but Yuki's loyalty will forever be to Honda (as it should) and that poses a lot of risks for Redbull.

Once again, I am not commenting on Yuki's character or making assumptions about him when I say this, but there are a lot of big concerns if he gets promoted. He could ditch them for Aston immediately because Honda asks, he could share information about the new engine to Honda, or he could give questionable feedback that negatively impacts the new powertrain. Maybe he wouldn't do these things. But if there's even the most miniscule potential that he could, it would make any team hesitant. F1 is rampant with cheating allegations and questionable tactics to win. The teams will want to protect themselves in any eventuality. And that is what's working against Yuki so greatly.

Yuki has proven to be a very competent driver over the past year, but let's not forget that he nearly lost his seat in 2023 and the rumored reason he stayed is due to Honda. He owes his career to Honda, not Redbull. And at the end of the day, that's his main flaw within this team. It's not his driving. It's not his temper. It's not anything else. It's purely who he is aligned to poltically in the racing world. Is that fair? No. Is that how racing works? Unfortunately, yes.

the way some fans talk about f1 is so confusing “decisions don’t have to be fair” “sports are about the money first and hating second” like i’m no expert but isn’t it about the competition???? and wanting to watch the highest quality of competition??? like yeah it’s impossible for it to be 100% objective but that doesn’t mean the audience should be okay with and even justifying rampant and blatant corruption. backlash to bad decisions is completely normal like do you guys even like f1 😭

F1 teammates in five acts, based on Youth, by Daughter.

Act 4: Daniel Ricciardo and some of his teammates throughout his formula one career: Sebastian Vettel (2014); Max Verstappen (2016-2018); Nico Hulkenberg (2019); Esteban Ocon (2020); Lando Norris (2021-2022) and Yuki Tsunoda (2023-2024).

(acts one, two and three here)

WHEN WILL I BE READY ?

[wintergreenoreo]

I love how people are going “i wish the sport loved him as much as he loved the sport” as if the main reason he got back an F1 seat wasn’t due to the fact that the sport benefited from his PR and popularity. Of course the sport loved him, he was a walking money machine in their eyes.

Honda released a farewell message for Checo and cut Horner from the picture (framed in green/blue is the original pic).

Here's the translation:

(I don't know if the translation is accurate, I found it in the same post I found the original photo).

And Checo also thanked Honda:

[albonoooo]

if rb pull shit like a driver swap for fucking p13 and p14 again to make ricciardo look better on paper (and push him for the rbr seat?) again or, god forbid, all season long yuki should be allowed to do whatever he wants and start biting people like a rabid dog. why the fuck would you purposely make the driver that qualified better and actually spent time running in points positions finish behind the one that never even got close to a points position????? the absolute nerve and disrespect.
