That “crash damage” comment made about Tsunoda is absolutely wild. He’s crashed once this year and didn’t crash out in the entirety of 2023. Ridiculous and outdated comments.
Agreed. Tsunoda might not be the best driver overall, but he is fairly consistent and a very safe driver that rarely makes fatal mistakes, he would be a much better fit for the second Red Bull seat than the underperforming Perez.
The absolute stubbornness of never considering Tsunoda as a candidate for the main team is completely ridiculous. Any other driver would have been promoted by now with those performances, Horner needs to swallow his pride and accept he's wrong. Poor Yuki.
The reason tsunoda was part of rb all these years is because of honda tieup, honda wanted a japanese driver in their team. With honda moving to aston from 2026 it is likely they take tsunoda with them
"poor yuki" pfffttt! this is the typical popularity contest logic of a new netflix fan. They don't care about the driving the sport the racing all they care about is their favourite driver and in their heads making F1 a popularity contest over being a bloody motor sport!
The fact that Yuki isn't option #1 is asinine. Yuki has consistently gotten points in a mid at best car for years. His attitude has gotten better and more manageable, and saying he's a crash liability is wild to me. He had a single qualy crash this year, and I don't recall him crashing at all last year.
Yuki is out of consideration as is Lawson because both of them will go all out to prove themselves against max - daniel will accept the no2 without question and won't rock the boat.
@@noteffone thats a valid point for sure. But there's no way DR is gonna outpace Perez. Red bull want somebody fighting for podiums, I just don't think DR has that in him anymore. Guy can barely get points out of the RB
Yuki was promoted because he's a Japanese guy driving Honda PUs. He's got a lot better over the years, but he wouldn't had been promoted if it wasn't for Honda. I guess that's what it's in the back of RB leader's head.
RB constructors position can't afford to keep Perez, he's been too poor for too long - Lawson is too inexperienced for the RB seat and Riccardo hasn't shown the consistency for it at VCarb, I'd put Yuki in Perez's seat and put Lawson in the Vcarb for the rest of the season, then decide where to place them all next year at the end of the season
Can't afford in what sense? Perez helps Red Bull afford Verstappen's salary. Ricciardo has the same level as him but dont bring the same money, Lawson needs experience, Yuki is a good option but he would NEED to be in the top 3 to be worth it.
@@pedroibanez4744 that means Sainz is the best option moving forward. As he's more consistent than Ric and Checo where he only gets shafted by Ferrari strats just like Leclerc.
@@pedroibanez4744 At the moment, Perez is just helping to pay the repairs bills on his car I think Yuki has potential but he needs the chance to prove himself
Same, Im a Perez fan but he's had it now. Yuki has worked hard for that seat and has out-performed Ricciardo. Danny doesn't deserve Perez's seat. It's a no-brainer to me. But no surprises The Race don't see it.
Yuki would not make a good #2 driver. He has #1 driver mentality, but I don't think he's as talented as Max. I think RB is just looking for a #2. I think yuki needs to oust lance somehow at Aston once honda comes onboard.
I dearly hope Tsunoda gets a shot at the Redbull seat after the summer break. Meanwhile Lawson and Ricciardo can have a shoot out in RB for the Redbull seat for next season.
If it's anyone it'll be Ricciardo. Tsunoda is a Honda driver, not a Red Bull one. It's also much easier to just send Danny off into retirement at the end of the season if he doesn't perform, whereas Yuki gets demoted back to the VCARB as a lame duck who already blew his big chance.
@@suehirogaribright I wonder how much all of his crash damage, missed development data, and potential loss of constructors position will affect the team financially. Probably it's pretty close or more to what he brings at this point
I would love Yuki to get the spot with Red Bull and then Lawson going to RB to develop. Yuki has more than earned his spot in my view. He has matured so much
I don't know... The lunge at Daniel after the first race of the season and during FP this weekend when he shouted at his engineer when he got told to get a move on. Doesn't scream maturity to me. I think his lack of control over his emotions is why RedBull aren't willing to go for him. I do agree that his racing has showed that he deserves the spot though!
@@SuperPhelix tell me an f1 driver that has not done these things, ppl like you have a bais and just will not admit youd rather die than see Yuki in that seat before any other driver. lack of control over his emotions my asss
@@RegionalBullRedbull needs a number 2 driver, someone who will move aside and let Max through and support him in wins. Do you really see Yuki performing well in that scenario based on his past of losing his cool and lunging on his teammate just this season? Redbull doesn't want someone to challenge Max, and Ric at this point will know his place.
Tsunoda doesn’t have what it takes to deserve a top seat, he’s mediocre at best, he’s like a petulant child when things don’t go his way, he’s only where he is because of the sponsorship he brings.
@@Jimmythefish577 A child that is currently out performing your favourite driver ricky. Weep more because along as anyone can say Yuki is out peforming riccardo your point remains bull shit.
Daniel Ricciardo since he's comeback to VCARB - Hungary, disaster strategy - Silverstone, Engine issues and bad quali strategy - Canada, Clutch issues and undeserved penalty - Monaco, unwanted set up changes by the team - Imola, Disaster strategy - Miami, Wrong set of tires - China, Stroll - Japan, Albon - Australia, Bad call from the team out in Q1 - Abu Dhabi, Debris in brake duct - Brazil, Flying wheel - Mexico, Bad tire choice from the team - USA, Debris in brake duct and bad strategy from the team - Zandvoort, Broken wrist - Hungary '23, Zhou crashed into him dropping him to last There's more to the story than Yuki's handful more points
This, and its so sad that everyone decides to overlook all this information, and completely trash talk Ricciardo. Don't forget that his chassis had issues, and therefore his first 8 races weren't an accurate representation of his pace.
Yep adding the 8 race busted chassis to that list and you have to wonder why the Race doesn’t make the same corrections. Oh yeah they are paid to spin PR into the community.
Would love to see Yuki get the seat. It’s so hard to gauge how much progress he has made since his poor rookie season and a drive in a top team would tell us a lot
@@lorriethelorrikeetuntil sunday how many wins did Oscar have? I rate Oscar super highly, (one of the best to join in a while), but just using wins is a terrible metric.
IMO, Tsunoda is the best person for the seat and should be promoted. He's by far the best candidate. Promoting Ricciardo would just be compounding the issue of giving Perez a new contract. The crash damage comment about Tsunoda is ridiculous, Perez has been involved in way more crashes than Tsunoda
But he is a total head case - there is a reason Horner isn't hiring the guy. RB need a Rubens/DC type driver who will always bring the car home and in the points, every race.
@@NigelTufnel612 Their lead driver has just proven he's a headcase too in certain scenarios, what's the difference? Tsunoda has put his car in finishing positions is does belong in and that demonstrates patience and calm, something Tsunoda has gotten a lot better at
@@NigelTufnel612 Tsunoda is a very consistent points scorer in 2024 in most races in a terrible car. He has as many points as Hulkenberg and everyone agrees he's having a great 2024 (in a very similar car)
Lol the people thinking Ric has any chance of going to RB... Like, he's been beaten constantly by Tsunoda, who doesn't even stand a chance at RB himself. Ric hasn't shown anything worthy of that seat in half a season.
AS someone wrote up there: Daniel Ricciardo since he's comeback to VCARB - Hungary, disaster strategy - Silverstone, Engine issues and bad quali strategy - Canada, Clutch issues and undeserved penalty - Monaco, unwanted set up changes by the team - Imola, Disaster strategy - Miami, Wrong set of tires - China, Stroll - Japan, Albon - Australia, Bad call from the team out in Q1 - Abu Dhabi, Debris in brake duct - Brazil, Flying wheel - Mexico, Bad tire choice from the team - USA, Debris in brake duct and bad strategy from the team - Zandvoort, Broken wrist - Hungary '23, Zhou crashed into him dropping him to last There's more to the story than Yuki's handful more points
Does Yuki deserve a shot? Absolutely. But it seems like most of you don't realize how big of a jump it is, especially in this particular scenario of jumping in half way through the season. It's a whole new ball game of added pressure to perform in top teams fighting for championships. Not just that, you have to perform against someone like Max, it's massive. Look at all the other very solid drivers who have been promoted and failed (Albon, Gasly, Perez). Especially considering it's for the 2nd half of the season. If Yuki doesn't perform it could literally ruin his season and he could end up fighting to stay on the grid. just like what happened to the other guys before him. The logical choice here for this particular scenario is Daniel Ricciardo. He's won 7 races in that exact car before. He is proven to perform with the extra added pressure of being in a top team and against Max. I would argue this is the case even this year as all his best results have literally come when he's been under the most pressure. The car is suited to his driving style. He's in a do or die part of his career now, why not give him that one last chance in the car that made him a legend to begin with. If it doesn't work out, he can retire at the end of the year. Then Red Bull can see Tsunoda vs Lawson up against each other for the remainder of the year and see who can replace Ricciardo for 2025. It's a much better situation for both Lawson and Tsunoda being able to have a pre-season testing and a fresh year to show what they have rather than jumping in now.
It's not the same cars since Daniel won his races. He's been slower ever since he left Red Bull. I don't know why he's getting so much credit as an experienced driver. An experienced driver should be beating Yuki.
@illegitimate0 he was quicker and soundly beat both Hulk and Ocon at Renaut. The McLaren years have may have damaged his reputation, but he simply isn't this "washed hasbeen" that detractors keep saying he is. Let him go back to where it all began and see if he cooks again, I say.
@@jamiemaxwell9649 The less washed he is, the better Yuki should look. There simply isn't really a case for not taking Yuki. He's got years of experience now and he's regularly outperforming a race winner.
If they can't trust Tsunoda, then what the hell is Marko there for? Haven't they been "developing" him all these years? It's time to give Tsunoda his chance.
@@soundscape26 It has everything to do with their former Honda relations. They never really wanted Yuki to begin with and that's what other commenters don't seem to understand.
The Race: “Hey Yuki, wouldn’t it be weird if Lawson walked onto the Grid in a higher position than, you given you’ve been driving for longer and have more experience?” Yuki: 🤬
I've said before this is the master stroke for RB if they indeed give Checo the boot is to give Danny Ric his "last chance" opportunity over the last 10 races of this season and insert Lawson into the other VCARB seat. It makes total sense. If Daniel thrives, give him another year alongside Max and let Liam prove himself worthy for 2026 or make 2025 the competition for the RB seat between him and Yuki. If Daniel disappoints, you promote one of these two and bring in Hadjar into VCARB. I feel bad for Checo, but he's been digging his own grave and nothing less than a podium in Spa will save him, if that.
It’s so obviously the most sensible path. It’s just become so popular among these new DTS fans to hate DR and love LL for some reason. Daniel likes Max’s setup, knows the RBR team inside out, can handle the spotlight and is the only teammate to beat Max let alone not just get destroyed by him. Like you said, worse case scenario = he’s still mediocre and you drop him at the EOS. Then you promote Yuki and have seats for both Lawson and Hadjar at RB. Why put Lawson under that immense pressure in the RBR seat? And based off what, a 9th at Singapore that would have been a 14th had it not been for 5 unlikely retirements.
Danny>Lawson>Yuki as the lineup to replace perez? They best not replace Perez if they are going either Danny or Lawson. Yuki has been consistent for the most part gaining points.
RBs own analysis showed that DR was much faster than YT at the last race, if you take the bad pit stop strategy out of the equation, he would have been 8 seconds up over Yuki. People look at the end result and ignore their actual race pace, which RB doesn’t seem to be falling into the trap of doing. DR was 0.3 seconds per lap faster than YT. To quote Fox Sports “Both drivers stopped within a lap of each other - Ricciardo on lap 28 and Tsunoda on lap 29 - and both took new hard tyres, giving us a useful comparison. We’ll look at a 30-lap sample between laps 30 and 60 - after both drivers had completed their out-laps but before Ricciardo was forced to slow for blue flags. Tsunoda started 16.3 seconds ahead of Ricciardo on lap 30. That margin was reduced to 10.4 seconds by the end of lap 60. Both drivers lost time battling other cars during this stint. Subtracting those from the race time gives Ricciardo an extra 1.5 seconds, theoretically reducing his deficit to just 8.9 seconds. That represents a gain of 7.5 seconds on Tsunoda over the stint - or, in other words, 0.3 seconds per representative lap.”
I mainly watch F1 for Danny Ric now, I need him back at Red Bull for the epic return narrative. I'm like Matt with Charles Leclerc, only for Danny Ric, I just watch the tower times and forget about the race for the lead, I'm sure other ppl do this for their drivers as well. Spa is crucial, if Red Bull choose anyone else I might stop watching it altogether. ~Come on Danny Ric
Dude started with the talent to be an F1 driver, obviously. But he has not kept up with the cars or the tech (plenty of drivers don't get along with certain generations of cars). Dude is a super nice guy, but it's painful watching him act as if he's going to suddenly be World Champion. Guy is maybe 35 years old? (i.e. old for F1) It was really sad watching them gift him the race win in Italy when Lando could have easily overtaken him on track. I really, genuinely wish the guy would leave F1 and go pursue any other motorsport where he could win and start enjoying racing again. Dude could drive in WEC/IMSA (vastly more entertaining/enjoyable) for another 10-15-20 years if he wanted...and with a works team as well. Tough watching him desperately cling to something he isn't competitive at anymore.
I think there's something going on behind scenes that redbull is yet to admit, they haven't been this patient in the past. I am a Checo fan, being mexican myself, and I don't understand how he is still in that seat. I don't think he is a bad driver, he was one of the most consistent drivers and suddenly he can keep his form for more than five races. This last two years have been demorlizing for me as a f1 fan, I don't follow as close f1 as i used to do cause everyone is having a go at Perez, and with those results it's obvious why, still I believe there's something going on that redbull knows and are being so indulgent towards him
Apparently he brings an insane amount of sponsor money from some Mexican elite old dude which is why it would hurt to get rid of him. But yeah I'd definitely like to see someone better in that second Red Bull.
Ricciardo is the obvious pick - proven winning history in a pointy front car with a similar setup to Max for years at Red Bull. Where every other driver has failed in the second half of the season as the car is fine tuned, Ricciardo never had any issues with it (outside the unreliable renault PU's). His performances at Mclaren and VCARB arent a measure of his ability as those cars are not remotely setup for his driving style, the only thing we have is the 2023 test where he was doing front row times in a Red Bull that landed him the AT/VCARB seat Yuki and Liam are wildcards as they have no experience in a pointy car - they'd likely do well for a few races, then like the others - drop off by mid season
You mean a winning history...more than 8 years and three teams (and a reserve driver year) ago? (and no, his freak win that McLaren gifted him in Italy doesn't count, lol).
Put Danny in the Red Bull. Put Lawson in the RB. Give Danny 6 to 7 races. He fails, replace him with Yuki and promote into RB next to Lawson. Danny goes and RB has become the junior team promoting young talent it should be.
you aren't watching then, 4 out of the last 5 gps ricciardo has been the quicker driver, he would've beaten yuki at hungary too if he didnt get pitted 3 times compared to Yukis 1.
This weekend should be Perez' chance to prove himself, Max is likely to take an engine penalty and RB has been historically good around Spa, if there was ever a chance for redemption - it would be this race.
Easiest weekend. ERS will be dominant, driver knowledge 2nd. Maybe even a Perez podium. But that's good, they keep him, and on the other tracks Perez will fall again. And constructors maybe McLaren will have a chance. That would be fun!
Hülkenberg would be perfect for that second seat with how good in qualifying he is and with Seidl leaving Audi he might be open for Red Bull buying out his contract.
That would speak volumes about Red Bull's current driver program... 4 available drivers to put alongside Max and still they would have to recruit elsewhere. 😄
That's been the case for most young Red Bull drivers...and it's a shame they can't see it or do anything about it. Gasly could end up being an entire wasted career. Albon may end up being an entire wasted career. Danny Ric didn't benefit from the Red Bull system except a handful of wins before his downward spiral. Tsunoda will likely do nothing major in his F1 career. It's just how RB works. Younger drivers are just bargaining chips or ways to apply pressure to the drivers they actually want/employ.
Very interesting point, I guess the whole keeping Gasly at the Junior Team forever Saga didn’t help their prospects get the nod, I’d like to see Lawson and Hadjar in the VCARB next year to see their pool competing again. Besides those two there are some F3 RB Juniors that look interesting in Lindblad (3rd currently), Goethe (scored every race and 7th) and Tramnitz (showed pace but was a bit unlucky at times, 9th)
yuki doesn't always get the better strategy lmao, the one-stop easily could've been a disaster and he constantly gets undercut because vcarb refuse to pit him in a timely matter.
DTS fans in this comment section are ridiculous. If they actually love F1 they would check on their stints and know Ricciardo is often faster than Tsunoda for the past 5 races before Toro Rosso pitted mostly Ricciardo too early into traffic and forced him into a 2 stop as opposed to a 1 stop for Tsunoda. Since most of them will jump to useless conclusions anyway, take a look at Alonso and why he’s been beaten by Stroll recently. Take a look at Albon and why he’s been complaining about his team’s indecisiveness for pitting him too early.
Yuki is doubling in points Ricciardo. Why people can’t get over the fact that DR3 doesn’t have anymore what is necessary to be in RB?? He’s in formula 1 because he’s a meme and has a good PR team.
Literally the only reason Danny ric is even here is to see if he's still as good at RB as he used to be. Don't get me wrong, Yuki should've been in the seat already, but this is where we are unfortunately
@@s1lveralkaro900yukis skills are growing and I think he is there best option right now but I don’t think redbull wants him… only there because of the Honda engines but his radio messages and temper are holding him back I believe
It’s funny how people talk about how they need a “consistent driver” yet the biggest issue with Daniel has been his consistency lol Daniel is not going to do much better than Checo, then might as well just stick with Checo until the end of the year and look to replace him then. It’s sad to see a team like Red Bull not being able to make objective and rational decisions.
If they take the Risk with Lawson or Tsunoda you might win or lose the Championship, but if you keep Checo in the car you can pretty much guarantee you don't win it.
I have thought about this very thoroughly. There are only two reasons why Perez still has his seat. 1 - RedBull, as a brand, feels the need to expand into Central and South America. 2 - By having a clear number 2 driver, the chances of Verstappen leaving the team are greatly reduced. Why else would RBR retain such of an underperforming driver? Gasly, Kvyat, Albon. ALL three of them were booted for A LOT, LOT less. So, my conclusion is that RBR is doing everything it can in order to retain its number one driver. If a Tsunoda or a Lawson starts to get a pole position here and there, or worse, a string of victories, that will not make the Verstappen camp very comfortable.
While Ricciardo aint looking outstanding by any means (mostly due to bad luck) he's definitely having a better season than Perez. Plus, it definitely won't get much worse 😂. You really could argue for and against both him and Tsunoda, but Ricciardo has experience with Red Bull and more in F1 in general. No real reason not to roll the dice with him.
The obvious solution is to put Ricciardo in for the rest of the season to see if he’s still got it and if not then put one of the other two in for 2025 based on the Lawson vs Tsunoda results in the 2nd half of 2024.
How is DR the preferred driver? Sainz is available. "But my dad doesn't get along with his dad!" . If that's really the reason, RB is doomed and Max is bailing when he can. Yuki can be promoted. He has looked better than DR for a year. He has 2x the points. Red Bull, after signing Max, haven't made a good driver signing in 7 years. Gasly and Albon are now both solid drivers and on different teams (both let go too early, and did WAY better than Checo has). Lawson, Hadjar are just waiting in the wings, along with Iwasa, etc. Just because DR moves merch, doesn't mean he should be in the team.
RB have created a monster they can't control anymore. They have fed Max and his dad's ego to an extent where even the slightest of non-compliance to their whims & wishes would cause havoc.
imagine a second hot headed kid on a redbull, it would be demorilizing for the team if Yuki and Max are cursing and shouting at them every other weekend, i dont think Redbull is coming back to dominant form tbh, if Ricciardo can be turned back to his old ways he is the right answer
@@ChuyR.look at Vcarb right now, Yuki is raising their spirits thanking the team after every race after yet another great race. It’s Danny causing low moral on his side of the garage constantly publicly blaming his team and getting angry about his strategy
Ricciardo has consistently finished behind Tsunoda. Horner said Tsunoda made progress but is not ready. So, it seems Liam Lawson will replace Ricciardo.
There are these funny shorts "Normal dogs vs Husky" where well trained and agile dogs do amazing stunts, followed by a Husky being clumsy and slow while some kid signs in a funny voice. Reminds me of Max and Perez.
It's weird. I love Yuki and he is great, but I feel he is not a fit for the RB. Can't put my finger on why. But something with Yuki and RB does not add up. Danny Rics form has been awful, but he is a better fit. Again, it's not logical. But intuitively, it feels better.
It should either be between Riccardo or Tsunoda, with Liam taking the other vcarb seat. And from what we've seen, Tsunoda is the more consistent driver.
Quite frankly I don’t think any of the second drivers will deliver this season. The car seems to be on a knife edge where even Max is having trouble with it. I really don’t see any of the RedBull drivers getting better results?
Who ever said yuki would do as much crash damage as what he would being in from better championship position is cold blooded. Over looking checo’s crash damage and now max’s with Austria and the last few races is crazy
DR would be at best an Aussie Perez. It would an absolute travesty to overlook Yuki. He's a little volatile yes, but, he has matured considerably this year. It has to be either Yuki or Lawson. The DR experiment has been tried at McLaren and Renault. Look younger.
@@5150TJT why is Yuki above Daniel in the standings with more points? Why has Yuki outraced Daniel 6-2 to Daniel ? Out qualified him 7-2 to Daniel? And beat him in 2023. One race doesn’t make him more entitled to a seat.
@@ireeeebz excuses excuses. Yuki hasn’t always had the run of the mill either or luck. If Daniel was so great he could’ve made up for the weaker strategies. Daniel has been faster since china - at times maybe - but Yuki is better this year
Sadly with the car being a bit crap by the sounds of it, I think anyone who gets the seat might struggle. I'd love to see Yuki in the seat then let Lawson take on Danny. Danny has been there before.
If Perez is dropped by Red Bull, I think Yuki should get a chance and get Lawson to team up with Ricciardo. Yuki has proven he is worthy of the Red bull F1 seat.
I think they need to switch out Daniel and Yuki every race for the rest of the year. Put Lawson in the extra seat and then keep whichever driver does better at the end of the year in Redbull. Not going to happen but it would be fun
I think Belgium should be viewed like this by Perez: It's likely too late for one race to *save* his seat at this point--unless he does something incredible like win by beating Verstappen on pure pace--but it's certainly not too late for one race to *cost* him his seat.
Yeah I like him too. Checo is a good driving and he works pretty hard. Really cool guy in interviews and fan interactions. I'm really curious to here how the car is from him after he is let go. I really think he is struggling with driving that Red Bull. Even Max seems to be running into problems now. Might be one reason why Red Bull seems so carefree about it. Getting another driver in might be a huge step if getting them familiar and up to speed in the car. Which could take several if not the rest of the season to go thru. Danny Ric is out. I don't think its worth moving him up. It also paints a bad picture since Yuki is the better VCARB driver. Liam could work for sure. He's also young so you can for sure mold him better perhaps. It may not seem like a huge deal but RB is in for a shit storm coming up. They really backed themselves into a corner.
You have the dad issue, but you also have the "might be a little too good as a second driver" issue. With someone like Max, you want a second driver who is performing, but not "risking" Max's success, etc. For a while, Perez was a pretty solid "wing man". That's what they want, and I don't think Sainz would buy into that role.
Why cant Red bull give Daniel 5 races, Yuki 5 races, while Liam occupies the vacated RB seat. This way they can compare Yuki and Daniel to max and also Liam to Daniel and Liam to Yuki, all at the same time...?
@@ScottHosking that was a million years ago, and he's looked just bad since. easily beaten by Norris, so much so that McLaren paid him just to get rid of him. he has less points than Yuki. What has he done to actually deserve it? Also, his last 2 season at RB weren't great. He's a decade older than Max, and a 19 year old Verstappen was beating him quite a bit 7 years ago.
There are a couple of trophies in verstappens cabinet that are owed to perez. Verstappen would have no chance to be where he is at if Perez didnt agree to play second fiddle. Ric is a shadow of himself. Perez was the only one to deliver under pressure and RB knows that better than anyone
I mean, that's not a surprise to most people. Guys like Yuki (young, arrogant, etc.) don't get seats based on pure talent...it's what they're bringing with the package that gets them a seat. I think Tsunoda is now (finally) a decent mid-pack F1 driver, but I don't see anything special in him,
Yall gotta stop spreading this Ricciardo shit. There has been talks about Danny getting sacked from VCARB!!! And now all of a sudden he is the best choice for Redbull??? Na, like im actually getting mad listening to this. He is not good enough for F1 anymore. he doesnt deserve the VCARB seat. and he DEFINITALLY does not deserve the Redbull seat.
Ricciardo to Red Bull, Lawson to RB, Perez to Williams. They should not burn Lawson by promoting him too soon in a highly stressful environment like Red Bull alongside the best driver of the grid.
he has tho, he has been quicker then yuki the last 5 races, he has been dealt a bad hand in strategy, if you cant see that you have been watching f1 on tiktok
Ricciardo's driving style matches closer to the Max's and therefore the car as well. Perez's style doesn't match the car very well. Ergo, Ricciardo is likely to perform better.
I honestly don't see how Riccardo could possibly be a better option than Perez to be able to consistently score Constructors securing points wich is basically behind or ahead of Max for every race going forward. Which is frankly impossible.
