#mind you yuki placed third in his rookie year at f2

Hi, about Max being always the younger pilot, he will always be but there is a reason for it. When Max had his first race he was only 17 yo, too young to legally drive in some countries in Europe, so there was some outcry and complains, there was a lot of push from the media, I remember a lot of criticism, so in the end the FIA changed the age so now drivers have to be at least 18yo to drive in F1- Well, that is what I remember, I'm probably missing a few things, perhaps someone knows the whole story

i wasn't talking about max being the youngest driver to ever win a race, i was commenting about how his redbull (and toro rosso, carlos is 29 now) teammates being older than him. max isn't stuck in time at age 18, he's 26 now while yuki is 23 and liam is 21, i was just commenting how funny it is that they haven't moved up a younger driver to redbull ever since daniel left.

i still find it funny that max will eternally hold the record for the youngest f1 driver to win a race unless the stars align and we get a driver who just turned 18 after running through the lower formulas and manages to win the first race of the season.

(also, no one @ me about how 'well none of the alphatauri or redbull juniors are ready for f1'. like when will they ever be if apparently f2 isn't good enough to promote them, since they sent liam to super formula [which is not a feeder series] to give him extra experience. redbull's also not using alphatauri properly as their f1 on-site prep team if they really want to cultivate young drivers, considering that no one is thinking of trying to get yuki to improve and be more consistent. i truly think that with daniel circling back to rbr, yuki is better off following in pierre's footsteps and getting into another team that isn't going to use him as a measuring stick for rookies)
