It's like with Grossjohn even though he almost killed Alonso once and he beat the crap out of poor Pastor I still can't hate him because he seems like a really nice guy

Rumour mill is that it isn't really a replacement, it's a direct swap. He goes back to Toro Rosso "until he is ready" (for the next young driver to come along no doubt) and Max goes to Red Bull. Both drivers and teams get to keep points.

It's a demotion, and if that does happen he's out of the sport next year.

I'll be the most stylish motherfucker on the grid.

That's a bigger slap in the chops than just being straight up ditched and cast aside, being replaced by a kid barely out of nappies because you're not ready for the big boy seat. ha. Shame, I kinda like Kyvat. He looks like a goofy motherfucker. I bet he'd be a laugh to have a drink with.

Vercrappen is a fraud and he will be found out sooner or later

I'm the first one to say shitcrappen is a massive fraud who has been overhyped to an almost criminal level.

But if you think Red Bull aren't going to run with that and make their gold child look good regardless of the amount of actual talent then lol.



edit: Peter Windsor is a nationalist twat.

Bottas hits Lewis: Bottas is a menace, williams should fire him, and hell criminal charges should be pressed. Absolutely eviscerated him.
Kyvat hits Vettel twice: questionable racing incident in the first corner of a race.

I would say after sleeping on it that this sounds like red bull could be deliberately playing the press to put the fear of god into Kvyat, either way Red Bull are evil.

Wouldn't you just do a Juan Pablo Montoya (crazy bastard) and tell Red Bull to go gently caress themselves and walk out? Russia has no problems doing what China does which is to not recognise contracts when they feel like it so he'll be fine.

One problem that has gotten brought up a few times is that if you grew up in the Red Bull system, you probably don't have very many contacts outside of that system.

He's just got shitcanned for being too aggressive one race after being on the podium by corporate pig dogs, he'll have no problems finding Russian sponsorship for any other race series from now on. No he probably will never get another F1 seat if he walks but he would never have got one for 2017 anyway.

So who is next down on the Red Bull ladder? Gasly?

If Kvyat has flunked his RBR seat then surely the smart move is to shuffle him out to pasture and promote another driver up.

Sucks for Kyvat but it's a real dog-eat-dog sport, Red Bull are just less sentimental about their drivers than teams like Ferrari or Williams. I agree he's probably out of Toro Rosso for next season unless he shines for the rest of the year as much as Vettel, Riciardo and Verstappen combined.

Also because he is a bad driver.

It's messed up what happens when you have a driving incident with a driver of the wrong nationality who keeps brake-checking you in a fraudulent way

Meanwhile I bet Bottas got a bonus for almost killing Lewis in Bahrain

It's not that Sir Frank isn't sentimental about his drivers, he just can't remember who they are/were.
