    Erik van Haren is saying that Red Bull will confirm its line ups for next season with Verstappen and Hadjar / Lawson and Lindblad on Tuesday. 

    Arvid did much better yesterday in F2, and whilst Monza was very much the exception for his racing, he's very much copied Bearman, when it comes to picking up silly penalties and will really need to work on that next season.

    He's also been hyped by Red Bull as their next big thing since Verstappen for a good few years now, so unsurprising they're not being patient with his development... I just hope that in part he's already checked out of F2 as his Qualifying also has much to be desired, along with Red Bull seeing data from him in the background, and like Bearman and Antonelli last year; F2 results are a terrible thing to confirm if a driver is ready or not. 
    Not convinced this is the best move for Red Bull or Lindblad. Feels like he needs a second season of F2 but he's been Marko's golden boy for years so straight into the frying pan it is. 

    Red Bulls academy in general is pretty weak at the moment so I'm not sure they have a lot of other options bar waiting 2-3 years for Fionn McLaughlin. 
    Was impressed with Colnaghi in Macau this year (Just the second time he's really competed with those coming from the FRECA route, whilst challenging with the F3 kids), whilst could potentially see Tsolov replacing Lawson

    Mercedes have confirmed Kimi has received death threats after yesterday's race....

    Will the FIA throw the book at a certain " advisor" and team for causing this?

    I didn't realise but it makes complete sense that these drivers are protected online. for example all of Kimi's social media is monitored so he wouldn't of seen any of those messages anyway. Of course he would have his own private one for friends I would imagine.

    I'd be surprised if anyone on the grid still manages their own socials , just not worth it this day and age. 

    Probably all controlled by management companies or the teams.

    Sad... You watch any interviews with him, or any of the rookies, and they come across such good kids

    Red Bull 'sincerely regret' comments after Kimi Antonelli receives death threats - BBC Sport
    But no apology.
