Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft believes Christian Horner and Helmut Marko have a clear difference of opinion🎶 when it comes to RB’s driver line-up in 2025.

Both RB drivers are out of contract at the end ofꩵ the 2024 F1 season with three names in th🅘e mix.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson are all vying for those seats.

Ts🐬u🎀noda has enjoyed a clear advantage over Ricciardo in 2024, leading 7-1 in the qualifying head-to-head.

However, RB CEO Peter Bayer has expressed his satisfaction over the cur🎉rent ꦏdriver line-up.

This could leave Lawson on the sidelines again for 2025, even though he impressed for the team during his😼 stand-in performan🅠ces alongside Tsunoda last year.

Speaking on the l♐atest episode of the Sky F1 podcast, Croft explained that Marko a🦩nd Horner have different views when it comes to RB’s drivers.

“So, here’s the other thing. Daniel Ricciardo, is he staying or is he going?” Croft said. “I think if you’re Helmut Marko, you would dearly love to b⭕ring Liam Lawson into RB.

“Even if you’re being pushy, if you’re Dr Marko you’re going to want to bring him in because that’s the sole purpose of your job to bring these young drivers through and to show tha෴t there is this conveyor belt of great talent coming through the Red Bull stable. But is Dr Marko going to be around in that Red Bull camp by the end of this season?

“Christian Horner I’m sure would like to keep Daniel Ricciardo in at RB. For marketing purposes, he’s great, he’s a proven race winner and 𓂃he can still turn it on. And I’m sure Christian Horner would like to give him that opportunity. So, who’s making that decision, is there one seat or two seats open at RB?

“I think if Marko is staying arounജd and he’s in charge, then it’s Liam Lawson and it’s Yuki Tsunoda to carry that on, but, if Marko goes, is it Liam Lawson and is it Daniel Ricciardo and has Yuki got to find somewhere else? I mentioned he’s on the shortlist for Haas.”

Despite his impressive form, Tsunoda was overlooked by Red Bull as a possible replacement for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez.

The Mexican has signe🧸d a new two-year deal with the team, keeping him at Red Bull until the end of 2026.

Tꦫsunoda has his eyes on Aston Martin, which will be powered by Honda from 2026.

Simon Lazenby feels that Tsunoda h🐬as to continue what he’s doin🍸g to move up the grid in the future.

“He’s been u⛦nlucky but at the same time, you’re not just necessarily following around an engine manufacturer are you?” Lazenby added. “You’re making your own luck and have to work your own angle. If you’re solely relying on that then you’re limited on your options depending on what they decide to do. For Yuki, he’s just got to keep on racing as he is.

“Aggressively but picking up the points, sh♛owing his consistency. Everything we’re discussing is predicated on the fact Verstappen is stay﷽ing at Red Bull.”
