    Of course Hadjar to Red Bull was an obvious choice.

    As was retaining Lawson in Racing Bulls.

    Yuki, well, what can one say, but he did have a far greater chance at
    Bull than was ever offered Lawson - in my prematurely and unfairly
    dumped after an incomplete first race weekend (missing a practice
    session and flawed team decisions IIRC), and the second race being a
    totally random crap-shoot because of torrential rain toward the end.

    Best of luck to Hadjar in what has to be the most difficult seat in F1.
    And Lindblad, we'll see !

    I like Hadjar, he's impressed me - on track but also just his general demeanour. He seems like a good kid and I very much hope he doesn't get
    chewed up by the Red Bull Number 2 driver curse...
