Nyck is getting closer to Tsunoda every weekend, who, let’s not forget, had to have a couple of bad days himself to get to this level.

    Not so sure if he really is getter closer to Yuki. If I remember correctly, the quali gap in Silverstone was about half a second. If Nyck had the underlying pace, he would get more time, just like Yuki did.

    This is ridiculous. As much as I like Daniel, he had an entire terrible year with McLaren in 2022. And it wasn’t just the car, since Lando did much better than him.

    Nyck is 28 years old, literally older than Max. Unfortunately Red Bull isn’t looking to baby Nyck like they would a Yuki who is much younger and has way less experience.

    He needed to drop in and tear it up to survive, but being behind Yuki so regularly sealed the deal.

    Refreshing take to be honest. I was also being caught up in the “Nyck is underperforming”-train, but mentioning the lesser period of Yuki does set that in perspective to be honest.
