- Red Bull seem to have come out of testing the team to beat...again. But under the surface the reigning F1 champions are dealing with a rather challenging driver dilemma, so lets break this one down...

That music hits harder than Jos Verstappen hits the wall
Or women.
@@JohnSmithShieldsor children.
Harder than his ex wife?
The wall?
His wife.
I don’t really understand the cocksureness about Ricciardo’s return to form. Take is slow guys.
He's funny if you haven't met an Aussie teenager before, and he smiles real big. That seems to do the trick.
He's the only driver available that has a similar driving style to Max and wouldn't need that much adjustment to understand and work with the car. That's why he's the best option. Is he good enougj to beat Max? No, but he's p4obably the best bet for the team and development of the car overall.
He’s the most overrated driver on the grid. Wildly inconsistent.
@@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT his only inconsistent time has been with McLaren. He was mustard at TR RB and Renault. One mediocre and one bad year can't wipe out a decade of good performances
Highly overrated by superficial fans that have joined in the last 3 years
Rumors Max will drive BOTH cars in 2025!
I am not entirely convinced Riccairdo is better than Perez. I am even less convinced Ricciardo is better then Tsunoda. Only time will tell. It's obvious that this will be an extremely important season for all three drivers.
Ric sucks more than Sushi and Lawson.
Hard to say last season, it was strange for Ricciardo.
The only thing that is true, if we can believe Drive to Survive, is that in the test with the Red Bull he did a Silverstone, on his fast lap, he would have qualified right next to Max on front row. Sergio with the same car on the same circuit qualified P15.
We need more data when he's in top condition, last year he came in unexpected, broken his wrist and probably wasn't 100% operational by the end of the season. Let's see how that goes this season.
Checo is a bum and he gets angry and vindictive a lot. Most of his wipeouts are from getting too emotional while he's trying to stay ahead of those who own him. He's hit more people in the first corner than any other driver. HE's mediocre at best. Ricciardo can drive a shiddy car and do ok but checo... nyet.
@@chamiltonart3319you are delusional
I really don't understand European's wet dreams of sacking Pérez. If it were up to you lot you would have already taken a rifle and shoot him. Worst of all for Ricciardo who has 1 test in Red Bull senior team and his performance at best was mediocre in Alpha Tauri. All I see is nostalgia from Horner (as seen in D2S) and people like Will of seeing Ricciardo given a second chance. That second chance you would not give an Albon who has definitely outperformed the car given to him. Pérez has done his part, secured the 1-2 & championship and helped Max get his first title (first titles are the hardest things to do mentally, just look at how Max relaxed after becoming world champion). Seriously I want to know how many European's are at the top of their game to judge Pérez as harshly. If anything, Pérez has been able to survive the extremely negative environment of RB and you lot on social. 98% of you would have quit, crashed or have had a mental breakdown. I hope for once you become human.
Perez has been terrible. To be fair, his stayed because it's downhill from where he is right now
100% agree
@@KailamiMwiinga how do you feel today? With how Ricciardo is performing vs Pérez?
@@nicorenco Well Perez definitely s***. DR is also s***... That RB seat needs to go to someone who can compete with Max.
@@KailamiMwiinga why don't you apply then? You seem to be an expert.
I'd argue that ric replaces Perez cause he probably could handle the same type of car as max better than checo. Lawson to MasterCard and Perez back to Aston Martin for instance. No amount of revisionism will make checo's very good decade of racing disappear and he'll probably shine in his next team
It's Visa
@@Ronny999x you didn't get the reference
@@juhosten3463 Yup i don't get it. But i think Perez will go to Haas. They can use the sponsorship money.
@@Ronny999xany team could use the money, even RB.
If I were Marco, I'd have a weekly lunch with Alonso and Max from now on. If these 2 can coexist, they will make the 2023 constructors season look like a close run affair. The 2025 WDC might actually be a close run affair, too.
Day 11 of now begging will to run naked round monaco
Can we petition for him to wear a body painted livery? Use the profits and donate to charity.
@@redacted3610 donate to charity... but why? you are spending big money in a motorsport that did nothing but entertaining... and you mention "charity"?
@@josiasmangussiborges man shut up
I think red bull really doesn’t need to get rid of checo as they have max who could win the constructors championship on his own and taking a young talent can be risky considering what happened with albon and gasly. And unlike them checo can regularly get points.
Did you watch checo last year? Very inconsistent season. If you go by that logic may as well bring back DR as he could also do that
What a horrible take. If RB no longer has a dominant car then they cannot keep checo. He had own of if not the most dominant car in F1 history and second place was up in the air until the final few races….ans sis you forget when gaslit and albon were there that RB didn’t have one of the most dominant cars ever; not even the best car? Also keeping checo doesn’t mean putting in some young driver either. This was a no brain take
checo is a bum. He had the best car he'll ever drive and could rarely ever even make a podium most of the time. Without that car... he goes back to being a bum. lol
The problem for Red Bull is that Max can't bi-generate like Doctor Who now can, so they can't have two Maxes in two cars.
There’s only one Max.
They'd run each other off the road every race if he could. lol He holds grudges and gets very angry very easily. When he's angry, he makes mistakes often. Last year was a gift for him. But... there are better drivers out there.
You left that Jos Verstappen joke on the table like he left max at a gas station. xD
Have they considered letting Red Bull have a third team?
I've heard Haas could do with a bit of a cash injection?
They already have. Race Control.
They’ll name it FU Andretti RB.
Bring AlphaTauri back for De Vries and Checo
They'll have to fight Andretti in a dark alley to do it though.
I think you're being a bit bias towards Riccardo and against Perez, but fair play for admitting it
Fair enough 😂😂
I don't see that Daniel has proven enough that he would be better in the second big RB seat, let alone Mercedes. Tsunoda was better most of last season, when they both drove and Tsunoda himself is not big RB material and he isn't a rooky anymore starting his 4th season (if i remember correctly).
If Dani Ric ends up in the 2nd RB seat and Lawson ends up in the other VCARB seat, whether that's next to Yuki or not, then the I see Dani Ric staying and then retiring from F1 when Lawson is ready for the move to the Senior team (2 maybe 3 yrs). Don't ever rule out Oscar to Redbull in the future, Mark Webber is still on RB's payroll (yes look that up), I think Horner knows exactly who will be Max's successor and leader of that team, just a thought!?!?!
pfft... Yuki... he's ok, but he's no star. He's mediocre at best. HE complains too much and blames other drivers for the accidents he gets in. Ricciardo has the chops to prove and the wins as well.
Even BOTTAS is better driver in a better car than Yuki
Billion? Can’t be 1.5 million.
It's a Dr Evil situation again.
@@JohnSmithShields we will hold the world ransom for..... ONE MILLION DOLLARS
google says 200 mil.. I was like.. that 1.5 sounds like a small number.. no idea where he got it from or why he thought it was a lot..
@@George2647g😂 I posted a comment saying same thing. A teacher here in USA will have a network over 1.5 mil by his age
I could totally imagine a race where perez starts out in front, strategy favours Max, and Perez tries a dumb move to keep/reclaim the lead ending Max's race and Checo's career
Or it could just be Max who tries the move and Pérez who if forced to take the fall, again....
Strat favors max? Huh. Max would catch Perez before any Strat comes into play. Look at last year he can start like 8 places behind him and go by him before the first pit stop
@@FernandoTRAsounds like a cry baby Mexican fan here. Checo isn’t even close to max’s talent. So what you crying about?
@@robb5270 well, I'm just expressing my opinion. I'm not insulting anyone. So if you don't like it, too bad.
V rude not to have Lawson in the thumbnail imo
Same with Ayumu Iwasa
@@ic3manNeither of them are in the running for the RB seat next year lol. The whole point of this dilemma is the last two junior drivers they rushed into the seat completely failed, that's why Perez even got the seat to begin with
@@Evarakeus of course they are lol, maybe not Iwasa if Tsunoda somehow gets the Red Bull seat. There’s a piece of Red Bull’s contract that says if they’re with Honda they need to have 1 Japanese driver in one of their 2 teams. I don’t think Tsunoda will be in F1 next year so I think Iwasa (who is willing to stay with Red Bull and cut ties with Honda at the end of 2025) will get the seat alongside Lawson
I really can't stand the disrespect to Checo, 2020, 2012, great preformances and the said "know how" cus I remember you he's the one who develops the car and you just say "he is good" and praise Daniel who's been dead for two seasons and couldn't manage to do something more interesting against Tsunoda
Agree..
I know, like in the past, Checo got praised for being a tire whisperer, solid defender and things and how soon we forget why RBR chose him in the first place
@@pauls5745 exactly. You are right on point.
Ugh, Wrong. Checo doesn’t develop 💩. If you had any knowledge at all you would know how he complains and Mexican media whine that the car is developed toward max’s liking….so if checo was the one developing the car why would he develop toward his weakness and max’s strength?
@@robb5270 not necessarily help develop last year's RB. I think we are talking about before. And Checo's career is much longe than the few years he's been at RB.
You’d think Marko would be worth a lot more than 1.5 million…
Its actually 200million i think that was a mistake
ONE TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure it's more than 1.5 million, it has to be.
I fully expected him to say billion, not 1 million. He has to be worth upwards of 20 or 30 mil. His salary is off the books for the cap, so guess he make something like 200k. If you search the web, you get 1.5M - 200M. It's all over the place so who knows?
That has to be a mistake, according to one article I've read there isn't much information regarding his actual net worth, even his "salary" in red bull is not publicly available
Is awfull to see how much the public opinion puts Perez on blast, and always forget how good of a driver he is and the hell he has had to withstand being teamates with Max, something we know not even Riccardo could manage
Also doesnt help that every time he wins one too many races Max gets angry and Checo suspiciously drops like a stone
Exactly!! Give Checo credit for being there now 4 years alongside Max, something not any other previous teammate of Max can say. RedBull should stick with Checo as he has accepted his role within the team to be #2. Idk if Ricciardo would like that or could handle constantly being outperformed by Max
If there was not perez in 2021 max wouldn't won 21 championship
Exactly, he was vital for the 21 championship
I mean my thing is do we really think that danny ric will be revolutionarily better in performance as opposed to checo? His time at mclaren showed that he couldnt adapt to their driving style. Red bull have basically built that car around max, what if ric has the same issues
the thing is back in 2017/2018, danny and max shared similar driving styles and was one of the most competent pairs since both like very reactive, sharp aggressive cars. Sure there might be some mishaps but he would probably fare better against checo's more understeery style.
For the last time you cant build a car for a specific driver thats not how it works engineers just make the best car they can and then someone has to drive it
@@ameyaprakash7497 fair point
@@Querientje i get that but at the same time the build of the car is better suited to max’s driving style which is what has been said. My point was idk if it would suit ric any better then it has suited checo, maybe it does maybe it doesnt just a thought lol
@@alexander1557 checo is so underrated f1 and RB are relentless hes in f1 over 15 years for a reason but any driver would have the same problem next to max i doubt daniel would do any better
There’s Theos situation, and we can’t forget Felipe Drugovich who drove the Aston Martin in Bahrain last year better than stroll did
oh yeh druggo the groper who ruined his career broadcasting sexual assault. #norespect
I really don't think it's a dilemma, Daniel is gonna get that seat regardless. It's great marketing that red bull needs and Max can win the constructors on his own. Yuki doesn't fit the red bull identity so hell never get the seat and Liam will replace Daniel.
I don't thing how they perform will matter at all.
One of my eyes doesn't work but im not a See You Next Tuesday, like a certain half blind man and a certain angry rally driver from Limburg. Moving on...
If the RB is any good Daniel maybe better served by staying with RB
Jose is less likely to try & execute The Honey Badge when Daniel starts winning races
As Max’s team mate Daniel may well be expected to yelled to Max BUT lead driver for RB Daniel can challenge for WINS!!!!
I continue to maintain that any plans to switch from Sergio to Ricciardo will go to hell when Tsunoda comprehensively out-performs him next season.
LOL
I honestly wonder what would happen if Yuki does the same thing he did to Nyck. Cocky experienced driver comes in thinking he’s gonna run the team only to get beat by the younger not as experienced driver in the other car.
I'm Team yuki but as always I don't think it'll go my way
@FP1Will You now have to run naked around Monaco
a good effort.
some good logical arguments presented.
keep up the good work...!
During preseason I'm not ready for Daniel to make the move. But after a full season without broken bones I'm ready to see if he's fit for the Red Bull seat. I kind of wonder how long Max wants to be doing this too. What if in two or three years time Daniel is back in the number one seat.
Since '18 around theres, something about RB cars that not just anyone can fit it like a glove and get as much as it has out of it. I can rattle off 5 really good drivers that their rb didnt fit them well, like it's too specialized for being good at this or that, so it takes a certain kind of driver to work.
Great video as always. I think Sainz could have used a mention, the return to RB after the exodus at Ferrari for LH's arrival. Could be a decent move for RB, just leaves the question of "What to do?" in the hands of Mercedes.
Will be very interesting to see how the season develops and how drivers get to grips with the new cars under full race speed. Sure it could be nothing really but if big rises and falls happen it could really shake up the next reg season as we go forward.
There's every reason to be a Ricciardo fan. The way he crushed Vettel at Red Bull is all you need to know.
Helmut only has a net worth of 1.5 million dollars? ??? A retired teacher here in US at his age will have a higher net worth!!!!!
What does he do with his money? Is he really paid peanuts?
„Put yourself in this position: You're Helmut Marko.“ - naaaah, I'll pass on that but thanks💀🙃
Red Bull's driver dilemma is is compounded by the fact that they have to keep Tsunoda
because of Honda. If it was anybody else he would be gone by now, 3 seasons in and look
at his record.
In a perfect world he'd be gone and Lawson would be in, then you'd have a team with promise.
I've got a crazy idea, but it might actually work out for RB. If Perez doesn't improve, make it three-horse-race. Let RIC,LAW and TSU drive for RB alternatingly. The one with the best results gets the seat permanently. It puts a lot of pressure on the drivers but creates an exiciting teammate competition that if announced properly could even improve marketing by attention.
It's interesting that F1 people forget that rally drivers exist when rating driving skills.
Perez has had one decent season when the rb17 was a challenger. Since then he's proven he's not the right driver for the seat and he has struggled with the pressure, quite frankly being embarrassed by Max, as he makes poor decisions on track more often than not to try and compete with the rest of the front runners
The other big question is what happens to Sainz as we know he will be available. Personally, for 2025 I think it's between Ricciardo and Sainz to be Max's team mate.
maybe... it's logical. However, I am thinking Sainz will go to merceds and swap seats with lewis.
Also, George might end up over there, don't count him out either.
Redbull were ruthless with second drivers because they wanted the constructors championship, now that max is capable of winning it on his own they are more concerned about finding the right partner for Max which is the best thing to do
Sack them all, hire Hulk & Mag into the RBR main team and Pietro & Enzo to VCARB
I think it’s pretty clear. Perez is gonna be dropped from RB, the better of the VCRB drivers will be promoted to RB, and Liam Lawson will get a seat at VCRB
I actually cant believe they would pick retirement home ready ricciardo instead of yuki
Formula One doesn't want more teams, i.e. Andretti, but they are more than happy to have one company run two. It's absolutely ridiculous.
What you are missing is when f1 wasnt as popular RB had to rescue buy that team
@@arthurhernandez8937 So? Totto also helped save Williams and ended selling his shares later on. RB should do the same.
It wasn't an issue until rb other decided they want as many parts as haas buys from ferrari ...
@okay, so you are obviously a merc fanboy and ignoring the fact Toto also ran Williams. He used to Williams to do what he wanted and placed what drivers he wanted there. You really can’t remember just a few years ago and George Russel.
@@robb5270 Operating words there buddy. "Used to" as in wasn't, then was for a while and not he's not anymore. In the meantime Red Bull owned two teams and did nothing else but consolidate said ownership, to the point that last year we saw when Checo clashed with Yuki in Singapore, that on the one hand they'll shove trough an Alpha Tauri with no respect for sportsmanship and when it was Lawson and Max, Lawson got team orders to not battle him, so yeah... The only deranged fanboy here is you.
I think Marko has had blue balls for sacking Danny ric ever since he left for Enstow. He'll sack Checo at the first sign of a shaky qualifying then promote DR just to revel in sacking him. They'll hire Sainz with a view to ruining him as bad as they did Perez until Liam Lawson is ready.
Checo ruined Checo. This is Checo’s fourth year at Red Bull. At what point will you people ever admit Checo is mediocre? “bUt He WoN fRoM LaSt!” And he did it when he took out Max and Leclerc, Hamilton was out with Covid and both Mercs killing themselves, in the infamous Tracing Point, which was actually the second fastest car on the grid. This is the same race Lance Stroll got third. That one race is apparently an excuse for all his woeful inadequacies since then and going forward.🤦♂️
Im almost certain of it that after the 2024 season redbull will drop Sergio move Ricciardo to redbull and have Lawson take his spot at RB visa cash register app hugo racing balls, for next season (2025)
wish you were the writer for Netflix drive to survive. Your show is great and comments full of body. DTS 2023 was such crap.
I don't blame you. Love to see DR in RB winning races again.
Ricciardo is someone I think could be interesting in Indycar one day....just seems like he'd both adjust well and be popular here in the US.
I think that as long as DR does fairly well in his car, Red Bull is planning to scoop him up after this year and put Lawson in that seat. If he doesn’t do well, that will certainly complicate things. Checo will have to do a 180 this year and be consistent throughout it for sure. Can he be though? Time will tell. We’ll have a much clearer picture by the summer break.
I don't see any way Checo will improve at all from last year. He's just not that good. He gets angry too easily and runs into the sides of anyone who tries to pass him legit.
Go look back on the rest of his career and see how many times he's done that.
I see Sainz as the most likely candidate for the Red Bull seat next season. Ans I dont know why most dont see that.
I don’t really think Yuki presents much of a problem for RBR, TBH. I think Liam Lawson is gonna be the bugbear
What I would like to see happen, not necessarily what I think will happen; Perez and Ricc move on to Indycar, Albon to Red Bull, Lawson to the junior team.
Jos and Michael drove for the same team and since then great friends
Just let Let Checo, Daniel, Yuki and Liam cook. Please.
Joked before, if I had a penny for every time someone touts Ricciardo and it not come to fruition, I'd have a whole lot of pennies. You can only rest on the laurels of 2016 for so long. If Perez, were to be replaced it will be by someone who brings money and or new fans (ie money) to the table.
To answer this, Red Bull need to decide want they want from that second seat. If they want a traditional Ferrari-esc Number 1/Number 2 driver then Perez has shown he’s good enough. I can’t see Ricciardo taking a Number 2 seat (nor Tsunoda for that matter). That leaves either Perez or Lawson. I can’t see any former Red Bull drivers coming back, because burning bridges by kicking people out every other race does not endear you.
If they want a Merc-style equal opportunities pair, then Ricciardo has to be the best option. The trouble will be if Verstappen is willing to accept that and play the team game (100% he absolutely would not, he does not play nice with other drivers!).
It’s clear that Christian is also a huge Riccardo fan and if Perez falls short this year Riccardo will replace him. That is of course assuming that Riccardo can get decent results this season.
If Ricciardo is behind Yuki in points by the summer break, it will probably be his last season in F1 🤷🏽♂️
Hmm it Will be Sargeant.. i think ford Will want decision also whose driving car 2
I think while max does all the heavy lifting red bull want a driver that can consistently top 5 finish without the hefty driver related repair bills. In theory Ricciardo would be a perfect fit. But in saying that I think Albon go's to Mercedes, Sainz go's to Red bull and depending who does better Ricciardo or Tsunoda to remain at VCARB And Lawson as the replacement.
danny’s test runs in the rb19 were right up there with max’s times. don’t know what his race pace would be but I don’t see why he wouldn’t be a good partner. for max if his test runs were as good as max’s. I personally am wanting to wait and see what happens before jumping to any hasty conclusions about who should go where but I’m leaning towards Daniel at Red Bull and Lawson at RB next year. I’m just not impressed with Perez anymore
What's the name of music?
Ricciardo is so done. It's over
Alonso to Mercedes, Perez to Aston Martin, Danny Ric to Red Bull, Hamilton to Ferrari, Sainz to VCARB, Lawson to Aston Martin, Stroll disappears into the sunset to play tennis. Russell can learn from Alonso at Mercedes until Alonso gets bored, Perez can run with Lawson and show him a thing or two which may just be what not to do, Danny Ric will at least give Max some competition from time to time, LeClerc and Hamilton get to argue over who is actually the team lead even though everyone not named LeClerc knows it's Hamilton, Sainz and Tsunoda can fight over who is going to finish 7th and 8th in the WDC, and we get rid of Stroll.
If Checo gets back on form, well it's not just that it helps his career, imagine how the rest of the field would feel. Imagine if Checo is firmly planted behind Max race after race, Red Bull would have the constructors championship locked up by September. And Max could Max as he has never Maxed before.
Well, what about Carlos Sainz Jr.? He got into F1 through Red Bull's Junior ranks and is perhaps the hottest free agent in 2025. Surely, Red Bull would consider him now that news break out about Audi's wishi-washy involvement with the Sauber outfit (it's weird to call this team Stake F1 Team KICK - it's goofy as hell), right? The issue I see is that the team is bound by the will of both Verstappen's - Max and Jos. They basically call the shots now and would prefer a safer option (on paper) like Ricciardo instead of Sainz (considering that the two didn't really got along while being teammates at Toro Rosso) or even Lawson. IMO when Ricciardo left for Renault, Red Bull should've bitten the bullet and give Sainz Ricciardo's seat in 2019, because it'd have been in the team's best interests irrespetive of the wishes of both Max and Jos and the situation would've been far better than throwing both Gasly and Albon into the meat grinder.
Another thing that we need to take into account is the recent allegations surrounding Christian Horner. I don't say that it will happen 100%, but let's say that Max is fed up with the internal dysfunction and/or doesn't believe in the RBPT-Ford partnership once the new power unit regulations kick in 2026. Max has contract until 2028, but I doubt that he'd stay for the remainder of the contract. You see, Max is happy at Red Bull as long as they keep on winning. But the competition will surely catch on this season (regardless what the testing says) and Honda's input on the power unit will only get them so far. And that Honda input will be gone for 2026. And honestly, I start to think that like Audi, Ford may be getting cold feet as well, leaving Red Bull out in the dark. And to think - the teams and Liberty rejected Andretti and GM/Cadillac (who were willing to pump resources) and now the two new players may have second thoughts
I said it in the poll. If you want to make a change, Sainz is the way to go.
With max i do not think they even need a 2nd driver , he can win deriver AND constructor championship all by himself.
Pay Williams whatever they want to get Albon back to Red Bull asap and get Lawson in that Williams to continue his development. Leave VCARB as is.
I just don't see the Riciardo hype. He is a has been who can't adapt to different cars/technical regs. Very good once but better options are out there.
What i would do? Ditch Perez (srry Mexico) put liam in vcarb next to ricardo so can learn fast, and yuki next to verstappen or ditch perez and yuki and put albon next to verstappen
I would keep only Fans as a sponsor on the RBs. Hope you will bring it back!
Just imagine if another team would come in and add 2 seats to the grid? Hmmmmm.
RedBull does not have a driver problem, it wants to have a driver problem. The only valid reason for Here to cash in Racing Bin is to get young talent ready for RedBull. So if I was the most hated person on F1 Twitter, I would fire Perez, get Ricciardo to replace him, fill Daniel's free seat with Liam Lawson and Tsunoda who looks like a karting champion is probably just good enough for that, so he can get out the way for Iwasa. Maybe that was a bit harsh on Yuki, but he's a bit underwhelming and simply not the great talent some people claimed he was during I cannot remember what season. It is actually a surprise to me that the Terminator's Grandfather (Helmut Marko) has not yet erased him from F1 existence. He had a chance, he had a second and third and he's getting a fourth and unless he performs like prime Perez, it's all too late.
Yuki literally beat danny last year lol
@@kathrynmiller6947 Arguably, Daniel broke his hand and the only had few races to adapt to the car, also he didn’t drive an actual F1 car for half a year. And then also the RedBull would suit Ricciardo‘s driving style a lot, and I am not convinced the AlphaTauri did, even though he did a lot better already than at McLaren
As much as I like Ric I don’t thinks he’s in form at all unfortunately but if he’s smart he can steal another seat
I think the internet see this as a WAY bigger problem than RB does.
Unlike our lovely F1 youtubers nobody at red bull, bar maybe Checo himself, has lost any sleep thinking about the line up.
For them its easy. Checo doesnt perform? Hes out, Ricciardo is in. If he does perform well *enough* , they let his contract run out and Ricciardo is in.
If he makes moves nobody expected and keeps Max on his tows (lol) he will stay.
Lawson gets the Ricciardo seat if he moves on, if not, not. And they have no problem doing that either. They would immediately put him in there if they thought hes a world beater.
Simple solution. Let half a year pass, look how perez, ricciardo and tsunoda performed over that half year and give the best one a contract. You can directly compare ric with tsunoda and perez will have to compete at least a little bit with Verstappen or well... loose his seat. I think its really this simple
It will be Danny they are doing everything to slot Danny in he is redbull and he has a great relationship with redbull would love to see checo in Mercedes or Aston Martin
Well, if 2 Checo's were driving a Red Bull then we'd have more of a competition - let's be honest.. When in doubt, watch the Monaco '23 highlights... The fact that most disregard Verstappen (perhaps due to Abu Dhabi 21') is just comical... Red Bull paired with Verstappen is a deadly pairing.. Just like Mercedes and Hamilton were.
Another Ric fan here , I hope he's got his mojo back , if he doesn't they don't have a driver issue at all 😖 ...
I also feel for perez , every year he's just fallen away from the pace of verstappen . I dare say that if rb1 weren't as fast compared to the rest of tge field , he wouldn't still be in that seat
SErgio is medocre at best, that's why. If he couldn't finish on podium every race with that rocket of a car, he won't get any better, honestly. He's just not good enough. #mediocreatbest
I thought this was a The Race vid for a hot second
lets be honest, danny ric is good but if moved to RB he wont be aby better than checo.
other than marketability, danny ric brings nothing to the table, he is washed!
He doesn't bring all the sponsors that Checo does..
Watch Season 6 of DtoS and Horner when talking candidly with his daughter lets slip that Dani Ric is his favourite. If Checo goes and Dani Ric is constantly sitting in the top 10 then he's in that seat next to Max!
@@craigargent1079 yes i saw that, still doesnt make sense to have him next to max.
Daniel is in very serious consideration for Mercedes and someone Toto is seriously considering to help Mercedes develop the 2025 & 26 car
RB should hire Yuto Horigome!
I think Perez shouldnt be underestimated. He got p2 in the championship even with his mistakes (Monacco, Mexico etc.). I think he even got most overtakes in this season.
Funnily enough from Perez' perspective it turned out: I finished fourth in the driver's championship. Then I finished third. Last year I finished second. This year I will be champion. Everyone is allowed to dream and think positive thoughts. I'm sure he will put in his best. Hopefully it won't lead to him putting in too much, like in Mexico last year.
When are they not in a dilemma?
The only solution is to bring back Lola Mastercard
As an Australian I will say Daniel is likeable but hopeless. You bang on about Mexico, a high altitude track his car suited. His race strategy of running as long as he can hoping for a safety car and has commentators yelling “and Ricciardo is up to 5th from 14th! What a performance” - when no safety car he’s ran so long on shagged tyres he’s actually lost lap times and pits coming back at 16th 2019-2022. A wealth of technical knowledge lol are you having a laugh? He is incapable of adapting to or setting up a car - ask Zak about that
This video didn’t age well Riccardo at this pace is going to end driving a bus in Sidney
Danny Ric should change teams because he'd always be second fiddle
I’m of the opinion ricciardo will replace Perez with in the first 6 races, if he does well he gets the seat next year. If not they will go for Sainz.
I‘d try to get sainz in the rb seat. Let Checo retire in peace. And lawson in the VCARB Seat for 2024 next to Yuki
How the hell is Lawson not on the grid this year?? And Sargent is 😑
Not a dilemma just bring in Liam Lawson. Ta
Josh Revel would like that.
I wish Jak Crawford was still in the mix. I would like to see Checo go to Mercedes so Toto could F--k with Horner and Red Bull
Well seeing as they literally had no one on the pitwall during Checo’s run during testing this week shows that they literally couldn’t care less about him so Checo is out for next year no matter how well he may do this year. But I don’t think ricciardo will be as consistent as he was pre McLaren days, not at the start at least. Red Bull already lost their chance at getting Lewis to Ferrari which apparently they were interested in him.
Yuki is the only thing we know for sure where he’s going so at least there’s that.
