I guess there is a balance, the team want a driver who can score points but don't want to take points from their obvious No 1 driver. Said No 1 driver doesn't want a driver who can compete and thereby take points.

There has been a succession of drivers with Max that have not worked out, they all can't be bad can they?

I thought Sainz would have been a good addition, a quick driver in his own right, doesn't mind a car that needs to be driven and would be likely to score points. Agree Lawson looks most likely to get the drive and he seems to be the most likely to have the ability to take up the challenge but tine will tell.

Except that Sainz would literally kill his teammate to get to a podium.

I wonder if Albon is ready to go back?

Well have you seen all the back and forth between Max and Russel. Russel called him a bully and Max said he was a back stabber and basically escalated from there. If nowt else it will make for some very interesting racing going forward. Do like an unhealthy rivalry between drivers :)
