I mean I like the guy but I think it's daddy's influence.

In any other case, he would've been gone. Red Bull wasn't great this year, maybe he used this as an argument. His experience will count. But if he hasn't had a few podiums after race 10, I think he'll be gone.

Remember, Red Bull is first and foremost a marketing company that sells stuff.

I suspect he’s there because Red Bull sells a lot of cans and merch in Latin America with him on the team, and also because Carlos Slim sponsorship is worth a lot.

I think they also know the Drivers’ Championship is more important than the Constructors’ Championship for marketing purposes.

I suspect they’ve done the math and know that he’s worth more to them on the team than someone who would be a better driver.

(Also it means they don’t have to worry about the number 2 driver challenging the number 1 driver ever. The cost is that they also can’t use him to defend against rival teams, but that hasn’t been a meaningful problem for them yet.)

It will be since Lando and Oscar are closer together at the moment. I don't think Liam would be a closer team mate to Max though. Yuki is also not there yet.
