RB is focused on Max and to keep him a champion. Second driver is just someone that needs to perform well enough to secure constructors, not to challenge Max. Yuki might be a bit unstable for that position.

    A bit? He literally brake checked a team mate after the race because he got team orders to let them pass when they were on a different strategy. And he only begrudgingly did that after the tyre advantage would be gone. He's fast but the idea that any serious team who wants to win championships is ridiculous.
