Whats interesting is that anywhere Riccardo goes the car generally improves. He proved that Renault, McLaren improved and they even Won!! And VCarb with his development influence has significantly improved the car. I fell this point is completely missed my 99% of Fans and people only see results as purely by a driver rather than car.
McLaren hardly improved when Ricciardo was there, in 2020 with Carlos and Lando, they were 3rd in the Constructors, in 2021, they were 4th and in 2022, they were 5th with Lando scoring 3 times as more points than Daniel. If they had a driver, who even picked up 20 more points than Daniels 37 that year, McLaren wouldn't have suffered the indignity of losing to an Alpine car that enjoyed being a barbecue. And since Daniel left, McLaren working on technical feedback with Lando and Oscar (Daniel himself said at McLaren he struggled to give good feedback) were 4th last year and are this year fighting for the Constructors and if not for driver errors, strategy akin to 2022 Ferrari would be ahead of Red Bull but probably not beating Max in the Driver's
One point you brushed on. Verstappens good side of his personally is 100% the result of spending time Riccardo. I dread to see what he'd have been like with a dull boring teammate from ages 17 and onwards. Riccardo was the life of the team and thankfully enough carried on once left through Verstappen... outside of the track at least.
100% is a bit too much too accredit to Daniel. But Daniel certainly showed to the young Max that you CAN have fun in F1 and doing your job at the same time. Don't want to think what Max would have become if Lewis was his first teammate. That would have been some epic toxicity. Given Lewis and Nico were once great friends and that friendship ended from being on the same team at Mercedes.
@@NexuJin I don’t think it was about Daniel showing Max that you can have fun so much as it was about Daniel showing Max what healthy relationships (of all sort) look like, and how to let go of negative emotions. He was what Max needed to counterbalance the influence of the ever-present Jos.
Can you guys imagine if Yuki developed into some kind of insane driver and was able to become a challenger for Max Verstappen as a teammate or a replacement after he leaves.

Said it before and I’ll say it again. Daniel is not at VCARB to win races. He’s there to help develop Yuki. That comes with experience. VCARB can’t have two young drivers. They need one experienced driver in the line up.
Yeah. Because Lewis, Michael, Max, Senna, Prost etc. needed help from more experienced drivers...🤔 Experience is what crap older people use to justify their continued seniority in any given field, when they simply don't deserve it.
@@wizzyno1566 Yeah, because obviously Yuki is a Lewis, Michael, Max, Senna, Prost level driver. Way to have a completely surface level understanding of the sport. Experience is extremely important in F1. It's not only important for younger drivers to have an experienced teammate to learn from, it's important for the team itself too given the experienced driver is usually better at feedback and helping to develop the car and push the team. It's also important for the younger driver's personality too.
@@RockSolitudeno it isnt. In any given field the good guys are obviously good from the off. Nobody starts mediocre and gets good. I repeat, Experience is an excuse old guys use to justify their existence. Way to show a completely surface level understanding of basic humanity. All Yuki can learn from Danny is how to make bad decisions. Often experience is just "doing the same things wrong for a long time".
I definitely wasn't expecting that theory. As a Ric fan, I love it and want to believe the powers that be at Red Bull have such great foresight into his abilities in a strategic sense. Time will tell how much of this soothsaying means anything. Nicely done either way.
Tbf, keeping Ricciardo at VCARB/What ever version of Redbull they'll be called in the future, to work alongside to develop young drivers is honestly the best move for Redbull, regardless of wash up pundits think.
I think Ricciardo could be great staying on as a mentor for the program. He’s really got the temperament for it, like how he helped even Max when he first entered the top Redbull seat, he connects with young drivers really well. He’s got such a naturally welcoming and youthful personality and a well seasoned driver, I think he could definitely help younger drivers warm up to the pressures and expectations of being in RedBull on the F1 grid. Sensei Ricciardo
I think you're misinterpreting what Ricciardo has said, being a bit generous with praise does not equate to stepping aside and willing to hand the RB seat to someone else. I think Ricciardo has said he intends to carry on after the 2026 regs. Which also means he can't afford to tread water, to many young talented drivers ready to fill a seat of a driver who no longer pushes.
Yeah agreed, he’s not the type of person to put his team mates down he’s always had something positive to say even in more tense situations. This just means he’s giving Yuki credit but is still focused on getting the RB seat lol I think this was really just an interesting speculation
Nah, it's the other way. Perez is going to retire and leave. That's why they didn't can him over the summer. Perez agreed to drop out at the end of the year in exchange for not being dropped. So it'll be Daniel or Liam in the top car.
in that case, they need to put Daniel in redbull and liam into vcarb. If that doesnt work, you can sack Daniel and Liam will take the Redbull seat with a free seat in a rookie team
@@tvs99999Daniel fans are wild they seem to ignore that he got fired from McLaren and wasn’t able to find a sit outside the junior Redbull team and yet they still try to convince people that he’s good enough for that 2ns sit … crazy
Daniel has been the clear better driver in every race since Monaco (other than the British gp where he had a 6kph straight line deficit due to a late engine change) he deserves at least the last 6 races to put a case forward if Perez continues to be bad even at his best tracks). That is not to say that yuki doesn’t deserve that shot too. But Daniel is the safer option for next year especially if he proves he has it if he gets the last 6 races. Yuki is an unknown quantity in a top car where Daniel isn’t .
I agree and have also been saying this for months. Danny Ric has more to offer both RB and VCARB than just driving skill. I’d go further and say that he’s also there to help with MVs public perception and aggressive streak .
Looking back at the end 2027 is mad, Daniel to alpine, playing and absolute blinder of a season, then getting into Aston Martin when Fernando retired and coming 2nd in the WDC was not on my bucklist and with Lance coming 1st in the WDC was just out of nowhere! Really think they should abolish the bonus points for dumbest crash at each race rule.
Honestly if this was 2019 yuki would've been given a chance for sure, but now that red bull is the dominant team (or at least was), christian stuck to the lineup he has because it worked, the same thing happened in the early 2010's so we've seen this before, let's see if max leaves like vettel so the juniors have a shot 😂😂😂
Daniel did made a dig towards Yuki in the media pen after the race, remember, "helmet"? Gasly on the other hand, when they had a clash (though, not to the same extent but was completely Yuki's mistake in 22), they talked about it privately. Nothing was said directly towards another driver in the media pen. So I digress with the idea that it's actually Daniel who directly talked to Yuki and not a 3rd party because even Marko agrees it was a blunder of a call 🤷.
Daniel wasn't brought back to win races, he was brought back to push Yuki forward, and be the RedBull backup driver, it's always been the case, but he has proven he can win and be better than Yuki, not something RedBull thought would happen, plus Daniel is a money making person and easy going, and can mix well with others, Yuki is a cannonball, not what RedBull is looking for. BTW your ladder is dangerous with square rungs, they fail A LOT.
I think Redbull, of all the teams, is the one where driver development and individual car setup is considered critical. more often than not we see examples of teams making parts based completely off engineering alone without taking input from the driver resulting in a great on paper situation. The car worked for Norris, it didn't for Daniel. they have different drive styles and it wasn't effective for Daniel and that probably gets in a drivers head. look at Austin Martin, they took on Alonzo and in his opening statements about the transition he stated that they were working with him closely on car development. that's the kind of input that's required and now they are going after RedBull's guy. it's not surprising that Daniel got behind the RB in a tire test and did a 2nd place lap time after spending a few months in their driver development.
To be fair, Yuki has taken training super seriously since learning from Gasly, and he's been disciplined which helped him beat Nyck, and Daniel. Giving all Yuki's maturity credit to Daniel is insane. Despite media narratives, Yuki has never started a war with Gasly or DeVries or anyone when treated fairly - and the one time Yuki showed his boundaries, that team orders and preferential treatment was not ok, it was Ricciardo that first threw him under the bus in front of the press. Yuki has never used the press to criticize his team or teammate.
yuki himself credits daniel lol. yuki wasn't showing some boundaries, yuki was told before the race of the strategy plan and he didn't go with it and divebombed risking both their cars on the cool down lap. ricciardo only called his actions immature and nothing more, stop calling that throwing someone under the bus. sainz and leclerc have said worse about each other.
Daniel will go into F1 management sooner rather than later. He may even one day climb to top the very top. He reacts positively to everyone: Drivers, Sponsors; Management (Current) His intelligence shines through everything. He is an asset F1 Lock, Stock and Barrel.
Driving with anger is one thing but having a track record of uncontrollable emotions that are often easily unhinged being suddenly under the pressure of driving at Red Bull beside a perfectionist multiple world champion like Max is completely different. I actually like Yuki unlike Perez and don’t wanna see Yuki go get his confidence bashed and possibly show his arse enough that it’s seen as rocking the boat at Red Bull and possibly by other teams. I’d rather see Yuki succeed at another team higher up in the standings even if he has to soak at VCARB for another season or two while waiting. That test Daniel had at Silverstone got Red Bull people extremely excited and especially Horner and I think it’s a little proof that car built to go fast with Max’s setup suits Daniel and that he is still capable in a good car but not so much if the car doesn’t suit him. I also think the lack of excitement after Lawsons recent test at the same track and driving the full Bull is a bit of a sign that he didn’t exactly set the world on fire. It’s insane trying to guess because you never know all the promotions and sponsorship deals that a driver brings along or lots of other things.
@@ben-jam-in6941Max has the same emotions just isn’t as criticized for it. Yuki has grown as a driver and his performance merits him a drive. Had Daniel performed and shown the numbers that Yuki has he’d be in that second Redbull car after Perez.
I do wish we have the chance to see Daniel in a Redbull even if it wasn’t for a full season it would be nice to really see what he was still capable of in a better car. Still waiting for Lawson to get his. Chance
@@Ponchov009 I’m on about his current days not his previous run with the team. I’d love to see him drive the way he did back in 2014-18 ish. Made the racing very intresting. It’s more something I’d like to see cause the redbull matches Daniel’s driving style for the most part
@@harrisongray9172 That's not going to happen. Not only because the cars has changed significantly, but Daniel has also changed. He is not the youngling that is crazy enough to pull those super late braking overtakes any more.
People keep forgetting that Riccardo was in a slide his last 2 years at McLaren and just maybe his best years are behind him, it happens. I'm a Checo fan, and now I'm starting to believe maybe the best of CHECO'S years are behind him too.
He wasn’t in a slide, he found himself at the bottom of a pit he couldn’t work his way out of. He wasn’t slowly going downhill, he found himself in a car which couldn’t figure out and was never able to adapt to it.
the car was completely against his driving style. ricciardos peak was 2020 when he got dragged the 5th fastest car to podiums and finished 5th in drivers championship few points behind perez with pink mercedes. you don't go from that to nothing in one or two years. he's already performing better in vcarb that he ever did at mclaren
The plot is certainly thickening with Marko reinterating again in the last day or so that they intend to stick Liam in a seat within the Red Bull stable.
Both drivers of Oracle Red Bull Racing didn't came from their Driver Program. Their system is broken, and keeping Checo doesn't make sense from a sporting perspective. Even hiring him was a mistake, much less than hiring Nyck DeVries, but another 'hunch' from Marko going wrong.
It’s clear you don’t understand the predicament RB was going through in 2020. Albon didn’t do his job and kept crashing and there’s no other junior driver they felt could benefit the team as a whole. They would’ve lost 2nd in the constructors if the grid is any closer. Meanwhile Checo was doing monstrous performance for Force India or whatever, and was headed for retirement with no fault of his own. Do you think RB wanted better results in the future or stick mindlessly with their junior drivers that kept crashing and deliver terrible results? It’s only illogical of them to ditch that mentality from 2023 onwards.
@@sandalphoncpuAnd that would be exactly why they're hesitant to put Lawson straight into RBR, and having Ricciardo in VCARB mentoring the junior drivers makes sense.
I think yuki may get a chance later in the year. If Perez keeps dropping in the standings and being in no mans land, they may put Yuki in the red bull and having him rise a few spots in the ranking without the risk of Perez losing 8th place in the championship.
I agree with your take, and hope it is correct, i would love to see Yuki and Liam getting their step up in the sport. If only Red Bull and RB were more upfront about it (if they had planned it like this to begin with), so we wouldn't have had to speculate about it all. If we knew that Danny would only be there as a mentor (something they did actually say last year, and Helmut kept saying that Danny would not be racing for Red Bull again, but yeah, lots of things are said but not done), then things would've been a lot more clear and organized. On the other hand, maybe Yuki did still need that last push to make him the driver that he is now, and if this take is true, then it all worked out for the better anyway in the end, and Helmut was right and true all along as well. And yeah, forever rebel, more like forever Red Bull. In the sense of; i think they'll still keep that wildcard mentality when needed, but they've also understood that there's little use in being a rebel when it means that you're sabotaging your own performances. And the only way for the other drivers to move, is to remove someone or two, so there will be a "shocker statement" coming out soon(er or later) anyway.
Horner is emboldened by his support from the Thai owners of Red Bull counteracting whatever the Austrian counterparts and Marko wants to change, I don’t think he wants Tsunoda with Red Bull, and seems to be carrying a torch for Danny for some reason.
I don’t think the grid layout will work.. I mean sainz driving a Williams because he was dropped even though he’s outperformed leclerc in his seasons at Ferrari. Antonelli taking a 7x champions seat. Bearman & ocon to haas ????? 2025 will be a slobber knocker mate. Not ready at all EDIT: Merc saying they don’t want to lose out on the next MV. THERE IS ONLY ONE MAX VERSTAPPEN.. YOU CANNOT RECREATE WHAT THAT MAN HAS DONE!!!
Yeah especially I can't find many similarities between Kimi's and Max's junior career. Max absolutely dominated F3 with one of the worst teams with ZERO YEARS of open wheel experience at 16 yo. While I don't doubt Antonelli is very talented he already has 3 years of experience in F4/FRECA before F2. As a rookie he is doing really well in F2 but imo it's nowhere near Verstappen's level of dominance in F3 (10 wins 16 podiums with 8 dnfs mostly mechanical). Not to mention even Max wasn't thrown in a top team right away. And I think Max despite being 17 was much more better in handling pressure during races due to his unfortunate upbringing. I don't mean it didn't affect him psychologically but it didn't influence his performance on track. I can't say much about Kimi but I am yet to see any displays of his "killer mindset" on track. Overall I would consider Max an outlier which cannot be replicated and the level of hype Kimi gets won't do him any good (the same applies to Bearman).
@@flying_butter1548 because max’s career can’t be replicated. He is in his own lane when it comes to how he became a 3x world champion.. Kimi turns 18 TOMORROW. He will be legal age when he’s on the grid. Unlike max, so them reversing the rule that drivers on the grid must be 18+ was beyond me. & max wasn’t thrown into a championship winning car until he was in F1 & he still had to master it. His F3 days just made him more solid & un breakable for his days in F1. He’s not scared to force himself into the heat of a race. Comparing his race craft to Senna isn’t an understatement. Or over hyping him. It’s the truth
I just don't think tsunoda is going to RB. Someone's going there but not yuki. DR is quiet for a reason & only he & RB know. I feel Marko has been told to zip it. Lawson is definitely on the radar, if Doohan got in Lawson will because he's a far better & proven recruit.
Just realized that I’m officially the 13,000th view on this video… what could THIS possibly mean for the future at Red Bull??? Next video topic??? @LawVS
Biggest thing to take away from anything said in the F1 media……. ITS NOT THE TRUE PICTURE. Every driver goes out of their way to be nice about other drivers….. just match it against real comments made over the radio during a race. You can’t make any opinion on public statements as they are just PR exercises. All about the commenters image not who they are talking about
You can't underestimate what Daniel had done to increase the popularity of F1 in the USA. With him in the team, the media (and Netflix) can talk all day to Daniel, leaving the more introverted Max out of the spotlight, even as Max wins championships. Without Daniel, and with Max not being so dominant, the spotlight will go back to Max, questioning his mistakes (crashes), questioning the team. Daniel must stay.
Daniel has all Mark Webber's driving skill & charisma to boot. I think he'll keep racing, not go into team management after F1. Cheers from Canberra AU. 🏴☠
I'm guessing Ricciardo had a hand in talking down Tsunoda after his use of the R-slur in Austria. Although personally I would have gotten Ritomo Miyata (himself an autistic person) to speak with Tsunoda about why that was uncalled for.
@LawVS There are a lot of decisions to be made in the next 2 months! NEW INFORMATION After hearing Christian Horner post Dutch FP2 comments that Lawson is not guaranteed a Red Bull or Racing Bull seat but just an F1 seat. Horner even stated Lawson could be loaned out under contract. We may see one of the current Red Bull drivers (Lawson, Riccardo or maybe Perez in the last Sauer seat for just one year. If this happens, don't be surprised if in 2026 you see a different ex-Red Bull driver (S.V.) in the 2026 Audi seat for a year or two deal. Then move on to being the Audi brand ambassador?
i hope dan finds a seat it’s a shame too watch what has happened to him over the pass years he was considered world championship material in the late 2010s i hope he can get back up there only time will tell
Yuki may have a higher ceiling than Daniel, but all they’re looking for is a solid number 2 that can keep his cool and I don’t think yuki would sign up for either of those roles
They can totally have him mentor Yuki and give positive vibes to the team but having a competent driver in the second car. His role as an ambassador for Redbull doesn't make him worthy of a seat
I still believe Danny deserves and wants to stay in F1, him starting to compliment Yuki makes me wonder if he has some sort of possible deal brewing elsewhere, possibly with audi? Also I dont think we can count him out for the Red Bull seat, just yet. Tbh Danny has been better than Yuki quite consistently over the past few GP's so it would be interesting if that trend continues.
Wow, you’re being incredibly optimistic about Red Bull. Do you really think that after all these years of just throwing drivers into the deep end and seeing whether or not they can swim in F1, Red Bull is really going to completely change the way they handle their drivers?
I would beg to differ. VCARB are extremely happy with his progress and the tide IS turning toward the idea of Yuki getting the call up. If he can broach the top 10 and beat Lance in the AMR then that will help going forward.

@@RockSolitudeno it isnt. In any given field the good guys are obviously good from the off. Nobody starts mediocre and gets good. I repeat,
Experience is an excuse old guys use to justify their existence.
Way to show a completely surface level understanding of basic humanity.
All Yuki can learn from Danny is how to make bad decisions. Often experience is just "doing the same things wrong for a long time".
@@cooramoor100 Agreed. He was always Honda's guy.
I definitely wasn't expecting that theory. As a Ric fan, I love it and want to believe the powers that be at Red Bull have such great foresight into his abilities in a strategic sense. Time will tell how much of this soothsaying means anything. Nicely done either way.
We need an audio only version of the episodes, love listening to your videos at work is basically a mini podcast episode
i really love watching your videos after i get back from work,
it really gives me a great feeling to watch them while having dinner.
Tbf, keeping Ricciardo at VCARB/What ever version of Redbull they'll be called in the future, to work alongside to develop young drivers is honestly the best move for Redbull, regardless of wash up pundits think.
I think Ricciardo could be great staying on as a mentor for the program. He’s really got the temperament for it, like how he helped even Max when he first entered the top Redbull seat, he connects with young drivers really well. He’s got such a naturally welcoming and youthful personality and a well seasoned driver, I think he could definitely help younger drivers warm up to the pressures and expectations of being in RedBull on the F1 grid. Sensei Ricciardo
I think you're misinterpreting what Ricciardo has said, being a bit generous with praise does not equate to stepping aside and willing to hand the RB seat to someone else. I think Ricciardo has said he intends to carry on after the 2026 regs. Which also means he can't afford to tread water, to many young talented drivers ready to fill a seat of a driver who no longer pushes.
Yeah agreed, he’s not the type of person to put his team mates down he’s always had something positive to say even in more tense situations. This just means he’s giving Yuki credit but is still focused on getting the RB seat lol I think this was really just an interesting speculation
Nah, it's the other way.
Perez is going to retire and leave. That's why they didn't can him over the summer. Perez agreed to drop out at the end of the year in exchange for not being dropped.
So it'll be Daniel or Liam in the top car.
Honestly this makes the most sense
in that case, they need to put Daniel in redbull and liam into vcarb.
If that doesnt work, you can sack Daniel and Liam will take the Redbull seat with a free seat in a rookie team
Source: Trust me bro
F1 gossip is wild man, people believe anything without knowing anything
@@tvs99999Daniel fans are wild they seem to ignore that he got fired from McLaren and wasn’t able to find a sit outside the junior Redbull team and yet they still try to convince people that he’s good enough for that 2ns sit … crazy
Or maybe Perez will go to Audi or Alpine.
Daniel has been the clear better driver in every race since Monaco (other than the British gp where he had a 6kph straight line deficit due to a late engine change) he deserves at least the last 6 races to put a case forward if Perez continues to be bad even at his best tracks). That is not to say that yuki doesn’t deserve that shot too. But Daniel is the safer option for next year especially if he proves he has it if he gets the last 6 races. Yuki is an unknown quantity in a top car where Daniel isn’t .
💯 finally someone said it
Agreed
Yuki really isn’t that great of an overall package.
That’s interesting. Thanks for the video. Looking at Daniel differently now and changing my expectations for him.
I agree and have also been saying this for months. Danny Ric has more to offer both RB and VCARB than just driving skill. I’d go further and say that he’s also there to help with MVs public perception and aggressive streak .
Looking back at the end 2027 is mad, Daniel to alpine, playing and absolute blinder of a season, then getting into Aston Martin when Fernando retired and coming 2nd in the WDC was not on my bucklist and with Lance coming 1st in the WDC was just out of nowhere!
Really think they should abolish the bonus points for dumbest crash at each race rule.
As Eminem says.. and back to reality 😂
the thing is, Yuki looks just the same as then he started, not looking older AT ALL! i think that´s why we dont give him more cred.
Honestly if this was 2019 yuki would've been given a chance for sure, but now that red bull is the dominant team (or at least was), christian stuck to the lineup he has because it worked, the same thing happened in the early 2010's so we've seen this before, let's see if max leaves like vettel so the juniors have a shot 😂😂😂
Daniel did made a dig towards Yuki in the media pen after the race, remember, "helmet"?
Gasly on the other hand, when they had a clash (though, not to the same extent but was completely Yuki's mistake in 22), they talked about it privately. Nothing was said directly towards another driver in the media pen.
So I digress with the idea that it's actually Daniel who directly talked to Yuki and not a 3rd party because even Marko agrees it was a blunder of a call 🤷.
Both drivers weren't happy
Daniel wasn't brought back to win races, he was brought back to push Yuki forward, and be the RedBull backup driver, it's always been the case, but he has proven he can win and be better than Yuki, not something RedBull thought would happen, plus Daniel is a money making person and easy going, and can mix well with others, Yuki is a cannonball, not what RedBull is looking for. BTW your ladder is dangerous with square rungs, they fail A LOT.
I think Redbull, of all the teams, is the one where driver development and individual car setup is considered critical. more often than not we see examples of teams making parts based completely off engineering alone without taking input from the driver resulting in a great on paper situation. The car worked for Norris, it didn't for Daniel. they have different drive styles and it wasn't effective for Daniel and that probably gets in a drivers head. look at Austin Martin, they took on Alonzo and in his opening statements about the transition he stated that they were working with him closely on car development. that's the kind of input that's required and now they are going after RedBull's guy. it's not surprising that Daniel got behind the RB in a tire test and did a 2nd place lap time after spending a few months in their driver development.
To be fair, Yuki has taken training super seriously since learning from Gasly, and he's been disciplined which helped him beat Nyck, and Daniel. Giving all Yuki's maturity credit to Daniel is insane.
Despite media narratives, Yuki has never started a war with Gasly or DeVries or anyone when treated fairly - and the one time Yuki showed his boundaries, that team orders and preferential treatment was not ok, it was Ricciardo that first threw him under the bus in front of the press. Yuki has never used the press to criticize his team or teammate.
yuki himself credits daniel lol.
yuki wasn't showing some boundaries, yuki was told before the race of the strategy plan and he didn't go with it and divebombed risking both their cars on the cool down lap. ricciardo only called his actions immature and nothing more, stop calling that throwing someone under the bus. sainz and leclerc have said worse about each other.
Daniel will go into F1 management sooner rather than later.
He may even one day climb to top the very top.
He reacts positively to everyone: Drivers, Sponsors; Management (Current)
His intelligence shines through everything.
He is an asset F1 Lock, Stock and Barrel.
I think he’s be great here too. He’s well liked so must be a good networker which is a skill that would serve him well in F1 BTS.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Yuki deserves a shot at the Redbull Car. All the best drivers drive in anger, look at Max. Yuki’s not only fast but he’s shown consistent results.
THISSSS
He's the most overrated driver on the grid. He's a helmet, as Daniel once adequately described him.
Driving with anger is one thing but having a track record of uncontrollable emotions that are often easily unhinged being suddenly under the pressure of driving at Red Bull beside a perfectionist multiple world champion like Max is completely different. I actually like Yuki unlike Perez and don’t wanna see Yuki go get his confidence bashed and possibly show his arse enough that it’s seen as rocking the boat at Red Bull and possibly by other teams. I’d rather see Yuki succeed at another team higher up in the standings even if he has to soak at VCARB for another season or two while waiting. That test Daniel had at Silverstone got Red Bull people extremely excited and especially Horner and I think it’s a little proof that car built to go fast with Max’s setup suits Daniel and that he is still capable in a good car but not so much if the car doesn’t suit him. I also think the lack of excitement after Lawsons recent test at the same track and driving the full Bull is a bit of a sign that he didn’t exactly set the world on fire. It’s insane trying to guess because you never know all the promotions and sponsorship deals that a driver brings along or lots of other things.
@@iliketoast-q9byeah and now is praising his performance. Numbers don’t lie.
@@ben-jam-in6941Max has the same emotions just isn’t as criticized for it. Yuki has grown as a driver and his performance merits him a drive. Had Daniel performed and shown the numbers that Yuki has he’d be in that second Redbull car after Perez.
I do wish we have the chance to see Daniel in a Redbull even if it wasn’t for a full season it would be nice to really see what he was still capable of in a better car. Still waiting for Lawson to get his. Chance
What? He was already in a RB, remember? Then you know... he ran away 😂
we did see what he's capable of. he put up a 2nd place lap time in a tire test in the RB. it's what got him the Drive.
@@Ponchov009 I’m on about his current days not his previous run with the team. I’d love to see him drive the way he did back in 2014-18 ish. Made the racing very intresting. It’s more something I’d like to see cause the redbull matches Daniel’s driving style for the most part
@@cartorius yeah I was convinced he was going back to the top team when we heard that. Especially considering checos form at the time lol.
@@harrisongray9172 That's not going to happen. Not only because the cars has changed significantly, but Daniel has also changed. He is not the youngling that is crazy enough to pull those super late braking overtakes any more.
Wow that picture of Villeneuve makes him look insane. 😂
People keep forgetting that Riccardo was in a slide his last 2 years at McLaren and just maybe his best years are behind him, it happens. I'm a Checo fan, and now I'm starting to believe maybe the best of CHECO'S years are behind him too.
He wasn’t in a slide, he found himself at the bottom of a pit he couldn’t work his way out of. He wasn’t slowly going downhill, he found himself in a car which couldn’t figure out and was never able to adapt to it.
the car was completely against his driving style. ricciardos peak was 2020 when he got dragged the 5th fastest car to podiums and finished 5th in drivers championship few points behind perez with pink mercedes. you don't go from that to nothing in one or two years. he's already performing better in vcarb that he ever did at mclaren
The plot is certainly thickening with Marko reinterating again in the last day or so that they intend to stick Liam in a seat within the Red Bull stable.
Both drivers of Oracle Red Bull Racing didn't came from their Driver Program. Their system is broken, and keeping Checo doesn't make sense from a sporting perspective. Even hiring him was a mistake, much less than hiring Nyck DeVries, but another 'hunch' from Marko going wrong.
Checo was hired to be a safe second driver to Max and initially it worked but now he is neither safe nor anywhere near fast enough.
wouldn’t say hiring him was a mistake kinda glosses over ‘21 but I’d agree they shouldn’t have rehired him
It’s clear you don’t understand the predicament RB was going through in 2020. Albon didn’t do his job and kept crashing and there’s no other junior driver they felt could benefit the team as a whole. They would’ve lost 2nd in the constructors if the grid is any closer. Meanwhile Checo was doing monstrous performance for Force India or whatever, and was headed for retirement with no fault of his own. Do you think RB wanted better results in the future or stick mindlessly with their junior drivers that kept crashing and deliver terrible results? It’s only illogical of them to ditch that mentality from 2023 onwards.
@@sandalphoncpu Pink Mercedes*
@@sandalphoncpuAnd that would be exactly why they're hesitant to put Lawson straight into RBR, and having Ricciardo in VCARB mentoring the junior drivers makes sense.
Scenes when Ricciardo gets the Red Bull seat at the end of the year. :)
I think yuki may get a chance later in the year. If Perez keeps dropping in the standings and being in no mans land, they may put Yuki in the red bull and having him rise a few spots in the ranking without the risk of Perez losing 8th place in the championship.
I agree with your take, and hope it is correct, i would love to see Yuki and Liam getting their step up in the sport.
If only Red Bull and RB were more upfront about it (if they had planned it like this to begin with), so we wouldn't have had to speculate about it all.
If we knew that Danny would only be there as a mentor (something they did actually say last year, and Helmut kept saying that Danny would not be racing for Red Bull again, but yeah, lots of things are said but not done), then things would've been a lot more clear and organized.
On the other hand, maybe Yuki did still need that last push to make him the driver that he is now, and if this take is true, then it all worked out for the better anyway in the end, and Helmut was right and true all along as well.
And yeah, forever rebel, more like forever Red Bull. In the sense of; i think they'll still keep that wildcard mentality when needed, but they've also understood that there's little use in being a rebel when it means that you're sabotaging your own performances.
And the only way for the other drivers to move, is to remove someone or two, so there will be a "shocker statement" coming out soon(er or later) anyway.
Hello attic man. I appreciate your videos.
Daniel would be in redbull next year, I’m saying this and I’ll come back on this video to prove it next year
I really, really hope to see that.
Funny though thinking
Yuki beat Daniel
Pierre beat Yuki
Estaban beat Pierre
But
Daniel beat Estaban
So a full circle.
Who is really the best?
Ngl, this feels like a huge dose of hopium. I’d like to see Yuki on a RBR seat more than anything but dunno man
Horner is emboldened by his support from the Thai owners of Red Bull counteracting whatever the Austrian counterparts and Marko wants to change, I don’t think he wants Tsunoda with Red Bull, and seems to be carrying a torch for Danny for some reason.
I don’t think the grid layout will work.. I mean sainz driving a Williams because he was dropped even though he’s outperformed leclerc in his seasons at Ferrari. Antonelli taking a 7x champions seat. Bearman & ocon to haas ????? 2025 will be a slobber knocker mate. Not ready at all EDIT: Merc saying they don’t want to lose out on the next MV. THERE IS ONLY ONE MAX VERSTAPPEN.. YOU CANNOT RECREATE WHAT THAT MAN HAS DONE!!!
Yeah especially I can't find many similarities between Kimi's and Max's junior career. Max absolutely dominated F3 with one of the worst teams with ZERO YEARS of open wheel experience at 16 yo. While I don't doubt Antonelli is very talented he already has 3 years of experience in F4/FRECA before F2. As a rookie he is doing really well in F2 but imo it's nowhere near Verstappen's level of dominance in F3 (10 wins 16 podiums with 8 dnfs mostly mechanical). Not to mention even Max wasn't thrown in a top team right away. And I think Max despite being 17 was much more better in handling pressure during races due to his unfortunate upbringing. I don't mean it didn't affect him psychologically but it didn't influence his performance on track. I can't say much about Kimi but I am yet to see any displays of his "killer mindset" on track. Overall I would consider Max an outlier which cannot be replicated and the level of hype Kimi gets won't do him any good (the same applies to Bearman).
@@flying_butter1548 because max’s career can’t be replicated. He is in his own lane when it comes to how he became a 3x world champion.. Kimi turns 18 TOMORROW. He will be legal age when he’s on the grid. Unlike max, so them reversing the rule that drivers on the grid must be 18+ was beyond me. & max wasn’t thrown into a championship winning car until he was in F1 & he still had to master it. His F3 days just made him more solid & un breakable for his days in F1. He’s not scared to force himself into the heat of a race. Comparing his race craft to Senna isn’t an understatement. Or over hyping him. It’s the truth
9:13 Overly criticised Daniel? It’s more like overlooking Yuki😂
btw i'd like to say, because no one is pointing it out, that's very lovely loki reference
I can’t believe Danial is going to Alpine
I doubt he would go back.
He ain’t going back. Alpine can barely stand on its legs as it is
And I seriously doubt Alipne would risk losing another young talent by hiring a veteran
@@benjamindeloneyI have a spare wheelchair for alpine 🤷♂️😂
Who said he is?
I just don't think tsunoda is going to RB. Someone's going there but not yuki.
DR is quiet for a reason & only he & RB know.
I feel Marko has been told to zip it. Lawson is definitely on the radar, if Doohan got in Lawson will because he's a far better & proven recruit.
Just realized that I’m officially the 13,000th view on this video… what could THIS possibly mean for the future at Red Bull??? Next video topic??? @LawVS
Biggest thing to take away from anything said in the F1 media……. ITS NOT THE TRUE PICTURE. Every driver goes out of their way to be nice about other drivers….. just match it against real comments made over the radio during a race. You can’t make any opinion on public statements as they are just PR exercises. All about the commenters image not who they are talking about
Comments made in the heat of the moment when adrenaline is high are not the true picture.
Yuki is such a consistent driver. He has what it takes to be great!
Daniel is really good for the team. Both of them. They just have to give him a drive and he is happy
You can't underestimate what Daniel had done to increase the popularity of F1 in the USA. With him in the team, the media (and Netflix) can talk all day to Daniel, leaving the more introverted Max out of the spotlight, even as Max wins championships.
Without Daniel, and with Max not being so dominant, the spotlight will go back to Max, questioning his mistakes (crashes), questioning the team. Daniel must stay.
I want to see Yuki in a Redbull!!
Omg I’m never early 😊 love your videos law
AD21? Never heard of it…that must’ve been a crazy race for Yuki to finish P4
Looking for an attic ladder endorsement. You seem to use yours regularly, any suggestions!
Daniel has all Mark Webber's driving skill & charisma to boot. I think he'll keep racing, not go into team management after F1. Cheers from Canberra AU. 🏴☠
I always love when you try to do impressions of the drivers, especially Daniel 😂😂
Hmm, never really considered this side of things might be interesting to see DR fill a on track DC roll for the Rookie at VCARB.
RB are doing the same as AM, getting a more experienced driver to develop a younger driver, who can drive, but remains rough round the edges
It does seem that stroll can’t develop any further, despite his podiums and a pole.
I want to see Daniel in an American series. Indy or NASCAR I think he'd stand out.
I'm guessing Ricciardo had a hand in talking down Tsunoda after his use of the R-slur in Austria. Although personally I would have gotten Ritomo Miyata (himself an autistic person) to speak with Tsunoda about why that was uncalled for.
@LawVS There are a lot of decisions to be made in the next 2 months! NEW INFORMATION After hearing Christian Horner post Dutch FP2 comments that Lawson is not guaranteed a Red Bull or Racing Bull seat but just an F1 seat. Horner even stated Lawson could be loaned out under contract. We may see one of the current Red Bull drivers (Lawson, Riccardo or maybe Perez in the last Sauer seat for just one year. If this happens, don't be surprised if in 2026 you see a different ex-Red Bull driver (S.V.) in the 2026 Audi seat for a year or two deal. Then move on to being the Audi brand ambassador?
I would like Daniel to go to Audi, I believe his knowledge would be appreciated and with the Hulk what a solid skilled team it would bring to Audi
What's the deal with the audio on these attic videos? Sounds like multiple mics with some crazy phase issues.
Sounds ok here.
Hearing Law saying that my fav driver is not fast really hurts me 😩. (He is right but still)
I could see Daniel being an owner or partial owner to a team someday. Like his future father in law was.
I wouldnt be surprised if RB has a completely new lineup next year, with lawson and hadjar. Yuki moves up, perez and checo leave the red bull family
i hope dan finds a seat it’s a shame too watch what has happened to him over the pass years he was considered world championship material in the late 2010s i hope he can get back up there only time will tell
Who else _apes/imitates_ Law every time he does the "ahem" thing?
Don’t get my hopes up. I want to see Yuki in that Red Bull soooo bad!
So Daniel is Yuki’s Professor Higgins.😉
Yuki may have a higher ceiling than Daniel, but all they’re looking for is a solid number 2 that can keep his cool and I don’t think yuki would sign up for either of those roles
yuki doesn't have a higher ceiling though. daniels ceiling has always been higher, he just hasn't consistently achieved it yet
So you're saying Daniel is teaching grown ass men how to handle their emotions? wow
That's a big call, Yuki a grown arse man😅😅
They can totally have him mentor Yuki and give positive vibes to the team but having a competent driver in the second car. His role as an ambassador for Redbull doesn't make him worthy of a seat
So Daniel stays at RB, Tu soda to Red Bull and Lawson alongside of Daniel. Well played Daniel.
Where most see a driver, some see a leader...
1:15 it is exactly what they tend to say
I still believe Danny deserves and wants to stay in F1, him starting to compliment Yuki makes me wonder if he has some sort of possible deal brewing elsewhere, possibly with audi? Also I dont think we can count him out for the Red Bull seat, just yet. Tbh Danny has been better than Yuki quite consistently over the past few GP's so it would be interesting if that trend continues.
Daniel is gunning for a permanent position maybe? Not as a driver but as an employee
They won't let newkie ride next to max for staffin.Cause he will fight him the whole way.I think you're missing this
Ricciardo goes racing one or two seasons more, wherever. then will assist/follow Marko.
Wow, you’re being incredibly optimistic about Red Bull. Do you really think that after all these years of just throwing drivers into the deep end and seeing whether or not they can swim in F1, Red Bull is really going to completely change the way they handle their drivers?
Also the season isn't over
I think Sauber/Audi are waiting to see who gets released by Red Bull
lol love the info dump - but that title was clickbaity as hell
i think if daniel has a big end to the season anything is possible, needs to beat yuki in 7 out of the 10 races at least
Ricciardo is a sponsors drama aside from performance or winning over the past 6 years.
yay Danny!
I've always rated Yuki😊
Best breakfast listening
So, essentially, Danny Rick is Hulkenberg with more hype?
daniel beat hulkenberg h2h
Has yuki ever been on the podium?
Future team principal
Yuki is a Honda hire in the end, he never would have been anywhere near F1 without them. RBR feel no type of way about him.
I would beg to differ. VCARB are extremely happy with his progress and the tide IS turning toward the idea of Yuki getting the call up. If he can broach the top 10 and beat Lance in the AMR then that will help going forward.
Why you standing on a ladder ?
lol asking the real question here
@14-20kg lighter than Daniel, Yuki in a RB could be amazing
huh what???
