So one logical reason they even bother calling placements is because if both yuki and Max took replacements and upgrades that both would drop them to the back, who would really be at the back?

On a different point, a bad PU maker can't even be replaced until 2026. They're locked into their makers by the FIA until then. So they can't really change off redbull to say Ferrari until after next season.

Imo let him start from the back, no big deal. We'll get a good comparison of how well yuki in the vcarb can get through the field, if at all, compared to perez who will probably put himself out in q1 and attempt yet another recovery drive.

Fun for all
