Perhaps we should create new threads rather than 1 per driver as the subject title isn't really relevant? Anyway, we all seem to agree Albon doesn't deserve to keep the second RBR seat for 2021

Mika Hakkinen has a theory that I too have pondered. He may have a point

This is the kind of issue you face if you build a car / team around the one driver. Generally the successful WCC winning teams build the car with input from both drivers. I'm not saying Albon isn't at fault, but if RBR want to secure consistent two car performances then they will have to find some "middle ground" between Max and whoever is in the second seat.

I have questioned Max Verstappen's car development skills in the past. If they had kept Dan next to Max I have no doubt RBR would have an all round better car now.
