If they get the car better balanced, maybe Liam will do something with it, but based on current comments, it sounds like the balance issue might get worse as they favor Max and push the car to a higher capacity but on a razor thin edge. I expect Liam to be sent to the wolves. He won't be in the RB seat in 2026. I like him, and I want to see him succeed, but I don't think the 2nd RB seat is it.
Early on in his RB tenure, he was delivering results similar to what Bottas was doing at MB, steady podiums with the occasional win. Then for whatever reasons, starting midway through 2023, his qualifying pace steadily declined followed by his race results. The number of times he failed to reach Q3 last year and his race results was not indicative of the pace of that car. He became a mid-fielder. Max is not that much better than him that the points gap is almost 3x, it looked like he had checked out mentally.

A FIA investigation team has been sent to Maranello and England (Woking, Surrey + Brackley) and it depends from what the findings will be regarding the cheating DRS wings .
The FIA has video evidence of the cheating (flexible) DRS wings during the pre-season testing in Bahrein.
I certainly wouldn’t mind it in they found a little something something
