I think McLaren are going to be kept honest by Mercedes and Ferrari. Max will produce some ridiculous wonder win from nowhere like he did in Brazil but the Red Bull looks an absolute mess to drive.

Plus MV is going to get even less support from his teammate than he has over the last couple of years.

If they genuinely do swap Tsunoda in for Suzuka it sums up what a complete shambles they have become probably since Dietrich Materschitz passed. Any other team on the grid you'd be asking serious questions about Marko and Horner and how tenable they are but they both seem absolutely bulletproof.

Plus I know promoting Tsunoda at his home race would be a marketing wet dream
But of all the tracks done this season, Suzuka is the first that Lawson has already competed at, so might give him a touch of confidence going into it, especially with a weeks break - I know the same could be said for Antonelli / Bearman etc. at China this weekend, but at least they've not been under stupid pressure from minute one

I can see why they'd go with Tsunoda, but personally i think they have to give Lawson one more chance. Basically a 'three strikes and you're out' kind of thing.
It is poor to have one car disqualified but it happens. Two for different reasons is off the scale. Another thing is Hamilton won the sprint race and apparently they made small changes to his car. Somebody has a lot of explaining to do I suspect.
If we're being honest Lawson probably isn't a top tier driver and shouldn't have been given the seat but even so it's crazy they're binning him after only 2 races. Even Verstappen is reportedly angry at the decision.
If you build your entire team and car around the preferences of one driver, i don't think you can be too surprised when the other driver suffers.
Sainz was perfect for Red Bull, would have given Max a bit of a challenge and would have been consistent. Max will be off to Merc or Aston Martin in the next year or 2 anyway. I've heard some rumours of Red Bull powertrains being a bit crap so far
Any other team with this constant mismanagement and Marko and Horner would be out the door. Am surprised Mintzlaff the new head of sport who came from RB Leipzig is content to let them make so many mistakes

They have won 4 driver's championships in a row and 2 of the last 3 constructor's titles, so it's not been that bad.
Will certainly be interesting to see how they get on now Newey has left though.

Someone at Ferrari is going to get an arse kicking!
Rumour mill seems in overdrive about Lawson, even seen a article that Colapinto will go to the Racing bull seat
Shambles from Ferrari, having both cars DSQ with each for a different reason is amateurish.

Alpine are just a mess. Doohan hasn't looked great but 5 races is nothing.

or is the answer to the first part also the second part?

Netflix will be pleased to have the first episode of next year's Drive to Survive sorted out already.
At what point does someone finally start to question Horner's ability to manage these young drivers?
Long may things continue to go wrong for them and their ginger-twat of a leader.
