22 seconds on his teammate while starting 4 places behind himโฆ
I wonder who from today's grid, when given a Red Bull car is able to give Max a real challenge? Charles? Lando? I think Oscar looks promising. I don't see anyone in RB's current line up being on par with Max.
Of all the drivers and you donโt pick the obvious pick?? Lewis Hamilton. Iโd also say maybe Alonso and Leclerc.
Lando would put up a better fight than Perez though, but probably not over a whole season. Same with a couple of others.
Hamilton is a Mercedes driver. I don't see him even considering RB.
Whether we like it or not, age has a massive effect on driver's performance. Lewis might still have it, Alonso too but the young guns like LEC, NOR, and PIA.. They're hungry for a championship win.
I mean itโs also unlikely af for the drivers that you mentioned. Other than Perez, Yuki or Ric no one is close to a Red Bull car.
I took your question as an hypothetical focusing purely on driver quality and not on the feasibility of them getting to a Red Bull.
Based on that interpretation your question has no answer, because no driver that is close to a Red Bull can get anywhere near Max.
I read your parent comment as being hypothetical, not tied to the driver actually having to have a contract with a team.
The only drivers who I think would trouble him are Hamilton, Norris, Piastri (maybe, he's got the pace but lacking experience), and Alonso. Leclerc is fast but too error prone.
