minus-squareSatouKazuma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoWow! When’s the last time a driver was straight up let go during the season?
minus-squareCoelacanth@feddit.nulinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoThis is at least the third time it’s happened at Red Bull. Verstappen replaced Kvyat mid-season 2016 and as mentioned already Gasly->Albon 2019 and now this. Helmut Marko doesn’t take prisoners.
minus-squareSatouKazuma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI wasn’t into F1 yet, so I can’t say I was aware. But TIL.
minus-squareSatouKazuma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoMy memory isn’t great as far as F1 is concerned. Was he dropped mid-season?
minus-squarebwoah@lemmy.worldOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-21 year agoNah, he was dropped before the season even started, days before winter testing if I remember correctly. Before that I think it was Gasly in 2019 (dropped from RedBull)
minus-squareSatouKazuma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoAh. Yeah let’s not include Mazepin then. I was thinking like straight up middle of the season. But thank you for the information!

Does Mazepin count?

Gasly, when he got kicked out of RB in 2019?
TIL.
