If I were Yuki, Id think thrice before taking that seat as for me, it is a black hole that eats driver's careers by this time.
Let's be honest, Helmut Marko is playing his favorites again, like he did with Sebastian Vettel back then. That wasn't an issue when the RB was blindingly fast a couple of years ago, dominating F1, but as the other caught up slowly and the RB performance wasn't that great, they made the executive decision to develop the car specifically for Max Verstapppen's unique driving style.
Therefore, Max was able to compete with the car, but for Perez, the window in which the car worked for him got smaller and smaller. And you can't blame the guy for not being Max, and for not wanting to drive the car in a way that he is not comfortable in, and when he tried, he crashed, And honestly, yes, Perez was not great the last 2 years, but he is not a turd either.
The thing is now, whoever you place in that second RB seat, he has to either drive the car like Max does in a very specific way at a high limit, or he will fail.
As long as Helmut and RB do not accept the fact that they are backed into a corner, rolling with the Max Verstappen only car that does not perform anymore, they can swap out #2 drivers as they want, it won't work.
