I wonder if the reserve drivers have stipulations in their contracts that they have to be used if one of the primary drivers is unable. Or is Red Bull able to choose whoever they want.

That’s a good question, I imagine they could make an exception if they really needed to.

I can’t remember a time a listed reserve driver didn’t follow through with actually driving the car though. I also have a terrible memory so I could be wrong haha!
