The red bull driver program has produced 4 WDCs and 5 different race winners in F1 alone.
It looks rear end right now because 2 different drivers failed when promoted to the top level, leaving quite the gap. You can't just magic into existence more drivers-in-waiting, and it would be a much worse program if they instead had 'spare' of such that they held under contract and let go due to surplus.

It's a better system than waiting for a billionaire to have a failson who played F1 2016 and thought it looked like a fun hobby.

The McLaren driver program has produced 7 WDCs.

My favorite part of Mazepin’s apology is “Ihave to hold myself to a higher standard as a Formula 1 driver and I acknowledge I have let myself and many people down.”

The implication being it’s ok to be a piece of poo poo if you’re not an F1 driver.

I kind of feel that in terms of engines they should say run any engine you want but it can only produce X amount of carbon emissions over the season and then just see what crazy poo poo people come up with until they find the optimal engine type/solve climate change.

Just give the absolute best that science can offer.

Same for the Olympics they should ban drug testing imo. I want to see a man run a sub 7sec 100m.

That doesn’t sound nearly so impressive when you realise it was only one driver who did those 4, who then proceeded to get comprehensively pantsed by the new guy (ARE DAN) immediately after.

So you're saying the RBR immediately produced another driver who was competitive at the front of the grid?

The only season frogboy beat dan was when Dan’s car mysteriously became the parts bin special and he dnfked like 9 times

It was at that point that Dan realised he had been subtly RBR #2’ed by Jos/Helmut and wisely decided to gtfo

Counting all 2018 races were they both finished, Max outscored Dan 8 times (Spain, Canada, France, Singapore, Russia, Japan, Brazil, Abu D.) vs. 3 (Australia, China, Monaco). You could give Silverstone to Ric since Max retired late into the race and technically came 15th, but whatever.

Max's only wins came when ric dnf, while every Dan win was when max finished. Sounds like Max can only win when his team mate is either dnf due to rbr being poo poo (Dan) or when rbr fail to get the best out the other driver (albon, gas). I.e. a fraud

Also lol at rbr reliability in that season. Complaining about Merc being op when your car is poo poo and your engine supplier uses cheap wine as lubricant

Verstappen still averaged more points per race than Danny if you only look at the races they finished. It's 13.8 vs 13.1 if you count Silverstone as a finish, otherwise it'd be 14.6 points per race.

if you only look at #1 spots, then yes both max victories happened in a race where ricc was out. and one of them HAM was also out. Doesn't mean much. Across all races they both finished, on average Max brought home more points.

Max's car has failed more than Albon's this year, so do you want to extrapolate your stupid hypothesis further?
