Interesting.... Slim still wants to continue sponsorship of Checo, so that could potentially turn him into a "pay" driver which would still make him semi-appealing to Red Bull (i.e. reduce their out of pocket cost of running him in one of the cars).

Direct swap with LAW?

Direct swap with LAW?

Wouldn't be surprised if it's either LAW for TSU in that 2nd RBR next year (more likely LAW, but I would feel for TSU in that scenario). As for putting PER in the VCARB? Hmm.... can't help but think that they'll be more inclined to give Isack Hadjar a go. The dark horse option would be Franco Colapinto. Bottom line, I think PER has run out of time and that Red Bull are rapidly running out of patience.

Makes sense to take it at Interlagos - plenty of passing opportunities and it's also being reported that race day is forecast to have a 65% chance of rain.

Oliver Bearman is replacing Magnusson for the Brazilian race(s).
The Dane has pulled out due to illness. BEA starts from 10th position for the sprint race, two places above HUL.

And PIA hooked up a great last SQ3 lap to nab poll for the sprint race.
