minus-square@SatouKazumalink8•2 years agoWow! When’s the last time a driver was straight up let go during the season?
minus-squareCoelacanthlinkfedilink9•2 years agoThis is at least the third time it’s happened at Red Bull. Verstappen replaced Kvyat mid-season 2016 and as mentioned already Gasly->Albon 2019 and now this. Helmut Marko doesn’t take prisoners.
minus-square@SatouKazumalink3•2 years agoMy memory isn’t great as far as F1 is concerned. Was he dropped mid-season?
minus-square@bwoahOPMlink8•edit-22 years agoNah, he was dropped before the season even started, days before winter testing if I remember correctly. Before that I think it was Gasly in 2019 (dropped from RedBull)
minus-square@SatouKazumalink2•2 years agoAh. Yeah let’s not include Mazepin then. I was thinking like straight up middle of the season. But thank you for the information!

I wasn’t into F1 yet, so I can’t say I was aware. But TIL.
Gasly, when he got kicked out of RB in 2019?
TIL.
Does Mazepin count?
