Things ... Musical chairs (2017-2018 Silly Season)

Matsushita does not have he required points for a super licence. Kvyat will be back unless Red Bull invest.

There is no reason for the team to give him a drive if they want someone else, they just have to pay him as a driver, whether that is higher than a pay off we will find out, no reason why doing a Kimi if his F1 career is defunct would harm him.

To get Honda further committed to Red Bull/ Toro Rosso I think they will find ways to get Matsushita in one of the cars either through seat share or full time drive

OK. Well FIA just made a big deal about re-doing the points system for a super licence so it will be interesting to see how the spin it if it does happen.

Matsushita is worse than Kvyat by the way.

RasputinLives I agree but it seems if Red Bull or Toro Rosso wants Honda's commitment then putting a Japanese driver is good PR but also might make Honda do a better job

It was the same when Tyrell and Lotus had Nakajima . The only decent Honda driver was Sato

 

[RasputinLives]

I Don't think they'll run him but I guess that's just my opinion.

Well if they do then Gasly you'd think would wipe the floor off him so Red Bull have given him an open goal to do so
