#the absolute SCENES if they moved checo to AT tho i would literally fucking die on the spot

I'm going to dump the most delulu thought that had, maybe, ever crossed your blog, but before you judge me, heart me out.

The AT seat negotiation is not for Daniel but for Sergio, and this is why I think it makes more sense.

1. The only reason why Sergio is still driving for RedBull now is because of Daniel. RB and Christian don't want to repeat the Alex and Pierre PR disasters and if they switch Daniel and Sergio mid season then people will say that RB gave Sergio a broken car to have Daniel back, etc.. etc.. etc... So going him a seat at the brand new team as 1st driver might placate some of that heart.

2. Sergio is a good driver with a lot of experience and he's still useful to the team, but the pressure and the weight of being Max's teammate isn't something that he can handle as it has been proven on multiple occasions, now imagine if at some point Mercedes or Aston Martin or even Ferrari add some upgrades that could compromise the second place in the driver's championship. Do you think that Sergio is going to be able to deal with Fernando? Lewis? George? Carlos? or Charles? As well as trying to keep up with Max? I personally think he won't. But him driving in the midfields with Alpine, McLaren might be more adequate to his style rather than dealing with Max and all the expectations that comes with being RB's second driver.

3. Some people say that RB only need a driver to keep the rest of the grid off Max, I think that that is no longer the case because you have Max saying that although he likes the sport he isn't that much interested in winning another championship that easily so if you want a driver to challenge and provide good and entertaining fights then Daniel is the right choice. No offense to Sergio but he "doesn't have that dig in him" and besides defending he isn't very skilled in overtaking, he just have a fast car.

In conclusion if Helmut wants to rebrand AT with a more experienced driver then Sergio is the right choice, he can be a the first driver with Yuki, almost as an experimental launch if you want.

you know what, it suits my agenda so i'm down for it. checo's midfield performances pre-red bull WERE good—that's what got him the red bull seat in the first place—so if you want someone who's a solid driver but maybe not a top tier, best of the best talent to lead your team back up to the midfield, it makes sense!! the only con against him and this whole plan is that he's not a red bull driver™. he's not someone that was brought up through the system and i think for that reason, he doesn't really garner the same amount of loyalty as someone like pierre or alex. i guess maybe if they need to ride out the rest of his contract that could be an option regardless, but at that point it's like....would he even WANT to do that or would he rather just go be at home with his family 😭 hopefully get a nice severance package instead 😭
