      It is interesting that Lawson is not listed on the RBCA car now but Perez is listed on the RB entry.

      He is in the list, because the contract is not yet voided. Lawson not being at VCRAP is rather a hint that there will be still changes

      I came to the comments for this. Incredible! What does this guy have to do to lose his seat?

        I mean I like the guy but I think it’s daddy’s influence.

        In any other case, he would’ve been gone. Red Bull wasn’t great this year, maybe he used this as an argument. His experience will count. But if he hasn’t had a few podiums after race 10, I think he’ll be gone.

          Remember, Red Bull is first and foremost a marketing company that sells stuff.

          I suspect he’s there because Red Bull sells a lot of cans and merch in Latin America with him on the team, and also because Carlos Slim sponsorship is worth a lot.

          I think they also know the Drivers’ Championship is more important than the Constructors’ Championship for marketing purposes.

          I suspect they’ve done the math and know that he’s worth more to them on the team than someone who would be a better driver.

          (Also it means they don’t have to worry about the number 2 driver challenging the number 1 driver ever. The cost is that they also can’t use him to defend against rival teams, but that hasn’t been a meaningful problem for them yet.)

            It will be since Lando and Oscar are closer together at the moment. I don’t think Liam would be a closer team mate to Max though. Yuki is also not there yet.

    So Yuki failed on the test and got assigned to RB, interesting. I wonder how long he’s going to be there before he gives up. Honda will probably pay for him to be there indefinitely, but it has to be hard on someone as driven as him.

      These aren’t definite, the teams can change their entries at any point. It’s only the status quo right now.

      IIRC you take both your father’s and mother’s last names in Spain, but I think day to day you just use one of them.

        You use both. Taking attendance, calling someone off the waiting room, you would use the full name, first name and two last names.

        After that, you can keep pulling … check youtube Carlos Sainz last name for shits and giggles

        They use their father’s name if they want or have to be addressed with one family name. Which is the first last name.
