I think both Tsunoda and Lawson would be bad picks. Tsunoda in particular
has shown he does not have the temperament to know his place and play his
role, it'll end in tears and would be counter-productive.
 
I did see an article recently that floated the idea of bringing in Bottas,
a reliable journeyman driver who has already demonstrated a willingness to
be the number 2 in a team. I like that idea, I've a soft spot for Valtteri
and it'd be nice to see him get a few years in a top team again.

 
Lawson got the seat.
 

Ah, good for him, fantastic opportunity for a young driver, just as long
as he keeps his nose clean in terms of understanding the pecking order
within the team. And I'm pleased he got it over Tsunoda, tbh. Yuki is not
very likeable, have seen him act like a spoilt brat too many times in the
last couple of seasons for my taste.
