Just a reminder, but consider it a warning - can we not have any further derogatory name calling of drivers, team bosses and the like. We don't expect you to like every driver/team, but at least keep comments respectful.

If you don't follow this warning, you will lose access to the race thread and the thread for the following race as well.

This includes but is not limited to such terms including Lulu, Crashstappen, Karen Horner, Whingey Spice etc.
 
Surely red bull must be thinking about swapping him out, Marko is normally quick to chop under performers... O ria it because they don't have any academy drivers ready to make the jump yet?
He certainly won't be going anywhere before Mexico, after that and I think all bets are off; it wouldn't be the biggest shock to see someone else in the car for Brazil.
Although aside from a certain Australian I'm not sure who else they've got - Hadjar I expect will be left to his F2 title battle rather than mess with him, Marti and Goethe aren't ready and there's Iwasa but I can't see two Japanese drivers getting the nod.

Also havnt Haas been performing much better since Gunther's exit. I couldn't stand that man and his management style wasn't good for building morale imo. Komatsu seems to be much more level headed and able to bring the team together

To be fair the car was probably developed under Steiner last year but I don't think its any secret that there seems to be a better atmosphere in the team this year under Komatsu;
