Hamilton is a multiple world champion and is expected to be ahead, or at least even with Russell. Expectation that Danny should be faster than Yuki is just wishful thinking, based on performance we haven't seen in several years, and the idea that Yuki isn't fast. I think they're pretty even on speed, but Yuki outperformed Danny in the last five races last year. Red Bull clearly wants Danny to earn his way back to the Red Bull seat, and Danny himself is setting up these expectations, but my prediction is that he will never get back to Red Bull.


Yep, and it seems they can't blame their age when Alonso is performing so well these days still.

Alonso is freaking amazing in his old age, and seems to be no longer toxic (it's very weird how nice he is to Lance--even if he is the boss's kid). Plus he was eager to take on the challenge of the Indy 500. Most F1 champions are wusses who say oval racing is too dangerous. That's why guys like Alonso and Mansell I hold in much higher regard. They had their F1 glory but were still willing to take on riskier oval racing. Old school.

Everyone is different so assuming just because Alonso isn't noticeably fading no one else will is misguided.

Hell, I'd say KMag is already fading as well as Perez. Vettel was shite his last couple years and was in his early 30s.
