really hoping the rumor about lawson replacing danny after singapore is true.

i really like what the young drivers have been bringing everytime they get a chance, makes me hate all the drivers that are doing nothing but taking up a seat... bottas, zhou, ocon, danny, stroll, etc.

I don't think Liam is replacing Danny Ric immediately after Singapore. More likely is Liam will be announced as the 2nd Alpha Tauri driver for 2025 and Danny Ric gets to finish out the 2024 season.

I agree with you on young drivers though. The sport really, really could use a way to get more cars on the grid. There are a ton of really good, young drivers who may never get a fair shot at a seat: Drugovich, Schwartzmann, Pourchaire, Ilott, O'Ward...

I'd love to see Lawson replace Ric this year, but as others said, I don't think it's going to happen. Ric is getting a pretty big salary, and I don't know if there's an out for RB to drop him mid-season and not have to pay him out. I'd bet with what McLaren did to him, he'd be sensitive to any language that wouldn't guarantee his salary. Unless Lawson could come in with funds to pay out Ric, bringing tons of money like what Colapinto did, I doubt the switch will be made this calendar year.
