The recent Japanese Grand Prix has had implications on the Formula 1 driver market, as McLaren has extended Oscar Piastri’s contract until 2026 and Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda are emerging as frontrunners to drive for AlphaTauri next year. This could potentially leave Liam Lawson without a seat for next year, prompting Red Bull to consider their options. One possibility could be pushing for him to drive for Williams, but it remains to be seen if Williams would choose him over Logan Sargeant. The discussion also delves into whether Lawson spending another year on the sidelines would be a waste. Additionally, the podcast covers McLaren’s motivation behind securing Piastri’s contract, the chances of Red Bull’s Singapore dip being repeated, and the sustainability of Ferrari’s recent revival.
