40% chance he's not coming back from Asia. Liam Lawson has been hanging out every weekend, and we all know he's solid af. VCARB is battling for points every weekend with Yuki.

DR can't get out of his own way it seems. Every interview with him sounds like he's in denial of something and just trying to push through. I'd much rather see him leave of his own volition versus being demoted.

He also sounds broken and depressed in many interviews. It really can't be fun for him, no idea why he doesn't retire on his terms.

Even if he starts to perform on par with Yuki between now and the summer break, what team is going to look at him and want to offer a contract?

I think if he doesn't start beating Yuki every weekend, there's nowhere to go but down.

Yuki scored 3.5x more points than DR since his return (and the 6 points DR scored were all in a single race...)

I am really not holding my breath for him to magically start performing.

who would not sign Perez, Bottas, Kmag or Hulk over DR?

I'm not expecting him to start performing, that's just the only way I see him getting a seat next year outside of Sauber.

I'd like to see Bottas and Ric hang it up in favor of any of the handful of drivers we've seen itching for a spot. I don't think either of them are offering much value to their teams on track.

And I only say Sauber cause it seems like they're mailing it in until Audi takes over.
