With the performances from Colapinto & Bearman at the Baku GP showing up more seasoned drivers is it time for a drastic shake up of the grid?
We know Toto has seen the light and put Antonelli in the Merc next year & Bearman will remain on the grid at Haas, plus Jack Doohan will be 2nd pilot at Alpine. Is it time for all the teams to free up space for a new recruit?
These young upstarts seem to innately have something that's lacking, or has fallen away, in journeyman F1 seat blockers.
Could it possibly be simple belief that more can be extracted from the cars?
Sure top teams will argue that they need experienced drivers to get thru a full season at the top level and it's better to bed in rookies in back marker teams until they have mastered the craft. Isn't an alternate reality to this staid way of operating developing though? Take Oscar as an example; he was destined to join no hopers Alpine but instead jumped into the improving McLaren, now he's winning races in a dominant fashion.
Of course there's bound to be the odd failure, however there's a greater number of more mature failures on the grid this year - KMag, Bottas, Guanyu Zhou, Ocon, Danny Ric - to name most. One can also make a case for Perez & Stroll to be ousted.
I see only one choice for Red Bull main team next year alongside Max, and it's Liam Lawson with Issac Hadjar moved up from F2 to Vcarb alongside Tsunoda.
What's anyone else's thoughts on more rookies replacing dead wood on the grid?
