I would expect that first lap on cold tires is exactly when you should be expecting odd things to happen. Kyvat just made a two bad mistakes in quick succession. It was likely the last straw for RBR.

I have nothing against Kyvat. As others have said here and in another thread, both he and Verstappen are young and lacking in overall experience. If you are in a top team and unproven, then the spotlight is on you more than maybe others. It might be unfair, but its sink or swim. How Kyvat handles the demotion to STR will define his future F1 career.

Verstappen's been promoted to RBR and Kvyat's demoted to STR.
