On a technical level his feedback will be useful for AT to take the car forward, moreso now he has experience of the current RB.
I was going to suggest he didn't help McLaren much but I accept Red Bull know exactly how good his feedback is and he's good enough in their eyes.Deesee said:

Useful metric to judge Yuki against and if Perez is kicked out then it opens up a seat for Lawson.
Yuki has dispatched De Vries, matched Pierre.. can’t see Dani Ric being up to it tbh, happily proved wrong.Useful metric to judge Yuki against and if Perez is kicked out then it opens up a seat for Lawson.
A decent seat in the upper midfield is required to test him. (I really rate the guy, Lando levels).
Lawson has done a great job in super formula too.

Yuki won't get anywhere near a Red Bull. He's only there because of Honda, and as soon as the Honda deal ends he won't be in the AT either.
Heard some talk that Honda will want Tsunoda in the AM when they take Honda Engines. I assume in place of Alonso when he eventually retires.Whilst I'm delighted to have DR back I think the way the RB group has treated Nyck is disgusting. Not only to bin him off not even half way through the season, but to not announce his departure on any social media and simply post that DR back just says it all. Even if they were unhappy with Nyck, they could have at least formalised his departure with a "Thanks for your work" etc etc before announcing DR back.
Not a surprise though given how Helmut and Horner talk about their drivers when they're underperforming and have trashed Nyck in the press openly since he started.
Alex is a fantastic example of how you support a driver to get more from the machine than expected and it's no shock he was able to shine outside the RB group.

Gasly improved massively when he went back to TR/AT after leaving Red Bull. In fact every driver that's left the Red Bull has improved elsewhere.

Nyck DeVries and Toto Wolff chatting over a coffee in Monaco yesterday. And NDV being handed over 'on loan' last year. Nyck will be back in a Mercedes shirt soon.
It just looks like nick telling his sob story while toto is tuned out and checking his messages lol.Still ,if you are sitting in your local coffee shop in monoco life cant be too bad.

Schumacher to Williams and then Nyck back at the side of Toto?
There isn't a space at Williams unless you are implying Schumacher is going to replace either Albon or Sargent.Nyck drove for AlphaTauri and Ricciardo has that seat now.

Read something today that RB have approached Albon with a view to coming back (unsure whether to RB or AT) and he's declined. Shows the faith he has in Williams.
Or he's holding out for Sainz to leave Ferrari.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
