He just out-qualified Kvyat and almost Vettel. Even at this lower point he is still better than all for RB drivers if you take into consideration longer sample of races, competition and a car. Why not put question marks over Vettel or Hamilton too after three races? Not to mention Toro Bull drivers who in the last two races underperformed. If their official press release states they should have qualified higher in China you can automatically multiply it by 3efuloni wrote:I'm curious about Bottas. To me, he loses ground at each season. This beginning is being very bad for him. Although he had misfortune, the truth is that he simply doesn't match the hype.
to achieve the real picture.
Perhaps Massa is not as bad as some people think.PlatinumZealot wrote:Massa is consistently beating him on race pace now. Sometimes I wonder how fast Williams would be with top tier drivers guiding the development.
Not bad, no. but imho vastly overrated and vastly overprotected not the least because of the spring accident.Vasconia wrote:Perhaps Massa is not as bad as some people think.PlatinumZealot wrote:Massa is consistently beating him on race pace now.

And then winning the championship with them?mika vs michael wrote:Best silly season prediction is Ross Brawn back to Ferrari, as team principal this time and getting Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes on board to Ferrari...

Daniil Kvyat's Red Bull future has been cast in doubt after his Russian GP clash with Sebastian Vettel and the Russian will have talks with team bosses this week. The 2013 GP3 champion replaced the Ferrari-bound Sebastian Vettel at the senior team after just a solitary season with Toro Rosso and out-scored team-mate Daniel Ricciardo last year.
However, it is thought Red Bull bosses are keen to promote teenage sensation Max Verstappen to the senior team as soon as possible as the Dutchman continues to enhance his reputation as one of the hottest properties in F1.

. Like Kvyat earlier for example?
Kvyat being the next great thing was based on his junior career as well as his raw pace at Toro Rosso. There was, and still is, potential in him. But as with all drivers in the Red Bull junior programme, they'll get dropped into the deep quickly. Only the ones able to adapt and deliver will keep their seat at the team.iotar__ wrote:However, it is thought Red Bull bosses are keen to promote teenage sensation Max Verstappen to the senior team as soon as possible as the Dutchman continues to enhance his reputation as one of the hottest properties in F1.
Sky's gossip column, here comes menace to society routine. Why Kvyat?
- he beat Ricciardo last season (only points matter)
- had a podium recently (only results matter)
- he has a "champions gene" which is important
- he is the new "Senna" or whatever those writers made up for him
I thought they (Marko) wanted to get rid of Kvyat anyway by recently killing his only strong point - occasional one lap pace. Although to be fair, he just may not be flexible with tyres. So where are all those pundits who claimed he was the next best thing based on nothing and RB's promotional materials? Moved on to the next, next big thing.
Funny part is that they don't need to wait for 15 other races to see who's better as if they have it all planned in advance
