"Performance-wise [Horner] wants me to be as close to Max as possible.
“In some races I can help with the strategy but he also promised me in some situations that if I’m able to be in front of Max that he wouldn’t necessarily ask me to swap positions and make Max win.”
Oh Yuki. I love you but you’re in for a rude awakening.
I actually laughed. Such a sweet summer child…
I’m excited about this and hope he can meet his own expectations.
The real question is, would he yield if instructed and a race win was in sight. We’ve seen some spicy team order drama with Yuki before, has he matured beyond that?
I hope we find out very soon. (but for P3 because Lando and Oscar need that 1-2 😎)
He was spicy when pressured to perform for the RBR seat, and while competing against decent drivers. But once in the main team and stacked against Max I doubt there’s going to be a fight for #1 driver.
His spicyness was one of the key factors for choosing Lawson instead. He has been working on it.
They are just setting this man up for failure. And at his home race as well. Terrible.
I just got this vision of Horner standing outside a chicken pen and telling Tsunoda “okay now pick up and bring me that chicken”
How fast and wily could one chicken be?
