This was always the case. If it was purely on merit basis, tsunoda would be in that car already. This is assuming they want promote from within because there are better options outside the red Bull family

And within, Sainz is still available and is an RDA driver

Hmm this is true. Though I don't think they see him as a RB driver academy driver now and see him more like an outside option

Sergio has a massive Mexican telecom giant Telmex as a sponsor behind him. I think that probably helps a lot.
