I think everyone is overreacting on checo. He is in 2nd place and red bull will win everything this year. I doubt they will end his contact early if this is still the scenario by the end of the year. He will be gone after 2024 though.
I think people who claim he’ll be gone over the summer are overreacting for sure. There is no need for RB to be that drastic. He has, however, been pretty underwhelming, and I think Red Bull will for sure consider their options going into '24. They can afford to give him the rest of the season to sort himself out, but if they expect other teams to be able to close the gap sooner rather than later then they need a number 2 who is more consistent.
What baffles me the most is that he was incredibly on point in the first 4 races. Nobody believed that he was actually gonna challenge Max, but he really delivered. And then comes his traditional mid season slump that he has every year for some reason
At this point it’s pretty clearly at least partially psychological. Which in itself isn’t great. He was on the pace today for the first time in months, but could he maintain a cool head and just keep it between the lines in Q2? No, he just had to push the limit to try to prove himself.

Agree. He will see out the season then prob Danny Ricc back in with a clear number 2 status
My bets are on buying out Norris. Ric is just not good enough
my money is on Danny going to AT, but hey who knows
