… May be time for a reunion.
Red Bull would be dumb to not bring Lawson back next year. Yuki and Ric have had their chance, time to cut one loose depending on how the rest of this year goes.
There’s absolutely 0 chance that Williams drop Sargeant. They’ve pretty much explicitly said that he was brought into F1 a year earlier than they planned and they’ll be giving him another one. After next year I could see them replacing him, but not after this one

DR will almost certainly be in the seat next year. He’s too important for their advertising, and that’s what matters in the end.
Lawson brings very little to the table outside of being quick. It really sucks for him, but I really don’t see him with a seat next year
I have a feeling he’s going to stay in the seat even if Danny Ricciardo heals up.
I disagree. I think they give both a somewhat equal number of races and then see who finished better.
Counterpoint: Yuki’s probably off the grid next year no matter what.
Why would he be?
AT are almost certainly not keeping him, and who’s going to sign him?
Why would Alpha Tauri not keep Tsunoda?

We did see his real performance in Hungary and Belgium. He is a lot closer to tsunoda than de Vries was but still a little behind what tsunoda has been producing all year
If Lawson replaces someone at AT it’d be Tsunoda. Honda partnering with Aston Martin means they’re not going to keep someone just because they’re brought by Honda. And DR is like the golden PR boy, they need him when they rebrand to Hugo Boss.

Looked it up, and apparently they recently stated they have an even bigger title sponsor coming. I still think that DR is automatically in if he wants to be in.
Sad that Ricciardo is now somebody who is being considered for his commercial contributions rather than his sporting ones
While true, I do hope he can get back to the top so he can combine his great personality with some more wins.
