    Is this what sainz is waiting for? I know their dad’s have bad blood, but what other good options are there? (Unless they give Alonso a multi year contract…)

      People keep saying about how their dads hate eachother, but Jos and Horner also hate eachother, so I honestly don’t see Christian giving a shit, especially if it means he gets a solid second driver.

      Just remains to be seen whether RB wants Sainz or whether they want someone who definitely won’t even attempt to battle Max, imo

      Maybe, though I understood the reason RB renewed Perez in the first place was because they were afraid Carlos and Max competing each other would lead to a Gasly-Ocon situation, so he may be waiting for a seat that will never be offered to him.

        No disrespect to sainz but he is no equal to max while gasly and ocon are perhaps the most equally matched line up in the grid. While there is a real risk of Carlos and Max competing with each other to the detriment of the team, that is because Carlos is close enough to max. Gasly and ocon on the other hand are so equally matched that they end up sharing the same real estate on track in almost every race
