He was a better fit for that seat anyway.
More aggressive driver; should like the 'pointier' care more than Liam.
The real question is whether or not this is a smart decisions for Yuki. Frankly, I think he was in a no-win scenario. If he doesn't take the promotion, he's on borrowed time at V-CARB because Red Bull would be looking to throw him out of the seat next year and put in a new developmental driver. If he does take the promotion, he'll get chewed up in a similar fashion to anyone else that takes that car.
I'm not convinced he's likely to get more points in that seat than he'd be at Racing Bulls.
Lawson, OTOH, is the big winner here, IMO. He can get points out of that VCARB drive. It's just a little more conventional. I don't think he's a bad driver -- he's just not experienced enough to deal with the degree of difficulty that comes with being the #2 for Red Bull.
