Generally standard for an F1 driver. But I just don't think he has the skills to be there....
Of course, he out qualified his teammate.......

Has mellowed and improved this season but he would buckle if they put him in next to Max.
The whole RB young driver program just isn't delivering, hence Perez still being in a seat
Good point, maybe he would buckle - everyone else has. Lawson is too green, but Yuki's feisty temperament might serve him well at RB? Or maybe that's precisely why he hasn't already got the seat The whole RB young driver program just isn't delivering, hence Perez still being in a seat

He's racing in the pinnacle of motorsport, has a wealth of health experts at his disposal, but he's moaning about having to wake up and do some exercise? That is terrible mentality.
On the flip side, I believe it was the season Ocon lost his seat, he was preparing himself mentally and physically in preparation for any call backs.
At the end of the day a team wants the faster driver not some captain sensible who says all the right things due to extensive coaching.
The fact Yuki can perform so well on the world stage ,coming from the baffling and unfathomable world that is Japan is a great testament to him.
Most europeans and english speakers couldnt find their way out of the airport in japan.
Mind you Yuki tried in Vegas lol.

Spouting this unfathomable rubbish is so far outside 'opinion' it's not even comical.
Good effort I suppose. But the F1 threads were just starting to get back to intelligent and humorous debate.

You think the post a couple of inches further up was sensible and fair do you?
Is this directed at my post? I did caveat it with it's what I perceived when watching DTS.I also don't understand how being Japanese has anything to do with what I posted. My criticism was down to the attitude to training and nothing else.
I don't think what I posted was really unfair. The physical and mental demands to be at the top of any sport is nothing which majority of people will experience. If a team is willing to put the effort in helping you get that extra 10% out of your ability I think it's only right that you take it. It's all about attitude.
Sports and Sports Science is no longer about training only for exactly what you're doing. It's about preparing yourself mentally, training your body correctly and providing your body with the correct nutrition to achieve what you want to achieve. Take away any of that you're already in a disadvantage compared to your peers. Of course there are few exceptions to this down to pure natural talent, but they are few and far between.

I was just more perplexed on how race even got into this conversation. I thought I had articulated fairly well that issues were around attitude for an athlete.On the other hand (there's four fingers and a thumb?), hondajack's is clearly transparent racist b
ks!O/T, but someone in the paddock who I always admired was Button. In his early years he had a reputation of living the old school F1 playboy lifestyle. When called out on it he started to knuckle down and fully commit himself to his craft. From what I gather he became an avid runner and cyclist with a very clean and healthy lifestyle. All these things surely only improves your overall performance.
Further off topic, but when I was at school I remember playing football for both the school and local boys clubs. There were a few players around my age group who had bags of talent, talent which I was envious of. But the ones who actually progressed furthest were the ones with some talent, but a lot of dedication. Unfortunately I had neither bag full of talent or dedication.

Apart from Sergio money I cant see what anyone else brings to the show.
I do wonder about this; he must bring an awful lot [of money] to the table for Red Bull not to have swung the axe already. I’d quite like to see Yuki get the drive next year though, as a big thank-you to Honda for the past few years.
