So Perez is finally let go by Red Bull. Word is Lawson will take his seat.
With Red Bull not being as dominant as before, it may remain a poisoned chalice. Let's hope not for Liam's sake.

The lad has a bucket load of confidence and skill.

He is a racer and should do well

Certainly hope that's the case Dixpat. Max needs someone to challenge him, it's been pretty easy going since DR.

Spa will now become a track that is one season on, one season off. F1 is seriously booming at the moment, everyone wants a piece.
Shame it's come at the cost of a classic circuit, probably for some tarmac'd borefest with 15 people in the stands.

Colapinto to Alpine as a Test and Reserve driver:

Reads like Doohan needs to get his act together, I reckon by mid-season if he hasn't performed, Colapinto will be driving.
Not the best environment for Doohan to debut in, but F1 has always been a pressure-cooker.
