I just don't understand why Netflix isn't making him faster.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Pow 💥 ping 🤜
😂
Hmmm, Netflix is making him heavier, harder to dispose of. More of a financial certainty.
If they lose Lawson a great young talent for a 34 year old driver out of his prime it's a huge fumble
Exactly, Mercedes chose "my corner" Russell over Bottas and now they.. they....
(Ignore car performance, is yoke.)
Ric second half of the season will shut you up
@@1greenMitsi well he just crossed bearman so fingers crossed 🤞
@@1greenMitsiyou guys been saying this since 2022 😭
@@1greenMitsias a Ricciardo fan, shut up.
Ricciardo underperformed at McLaren and so far he has underperformed at RB. Based on results he doesn't deserve a seat and needs to prove that he can be consistently good again instead of just having the odd good race now and then.
Yeah but the DTS Danny boy fanboys don't like reality. He was shown the door by McLaren and now Oscar is doing extremely well in the second year. Yuki is kicking his backside and Danny gets a good qualifying and everyone thinks he's back. He was lucky to even get to Red Bull as his team mate, Jean-Éric Vergne, beat him in 2012 and some could say only lost to Danny due to the number of retirements in 2013.
This should be common sense
the only seat he deserves is in the commentary box. Oh, it's already taken.........
Ricciardo has the 3 best qualifying posistions and 2 best race results since he’s returned.
Be quiet
Ricciardo pulls big sponsor to RB, so its fair to say that he is now a pay driver
It needs to be studied as to what happened with Ricciardo at Mclaren. As much as everyone loves him and he was an awesome driver years ago, someone else deserves his position at this point.
Is it really that complicated? He just can’t drive these cars.
It’s like a relationship where one is loved and adored by people outside and is seen as a person who couldn’t do any wrong. But that same person is a total bag of issues in private.
It has in great depth by Mclaren who tried very hard to get him up to full speed and had to throw the towel in. He cost them a fortune. The answer is he has one way of driving fast and that didnt suit the car unlike some drivers who can chnage the way they drive to overcome the shortcomings of the car. Clearly Lando could.Alonso can for example.
@@MinisterManDan He can. He's shown that in Mexico, Miami and Montreal, but there might be a problem with his approach or his psyche.
you never listened to the radio on-boards ? He was given a horrible time. Simple. He also won with McLaren. Something you and I have not done.He was an Awesome driver recently and also in between those -Years Ago- you seem to only remember. Especially Mexico which was recently Years ago. These are just some of the reasons why you are also not in charge at Mclaren or any other F1 team. You miss to many vitally important points. You see, you are the problem not Daniel. Have a nice time.
Daniel sold his racing soul and any hopes of ever being a championship driver when he left Red Bull for the $42 million per season to Renault.
That my friend. I could not have said better.
Nop. It was clear Red Bull was prioritizing Max even then. And he probably knew, deep down, Max was just better and that he wouldn't be able to compete for much longer.
So he had to choose, stay and resign himself to be a Bottas , or risk it elsewhere. He choose to risk it and got my respect for it.
Whatever he lost, it was at McLaren's, when facing a way better Lando than anyone expected.
Thats how much they payed him?! Why
You acting like it was a money move when it really wasn’t. He was offered the same salary as Max iirc. He was gambling on being the no1 in a positive trajectory team.
@@wazzlopiok240 No he left because the team was shifting towards max just like how they shifted from Vettel to Danny in 2014. Danny didn't want to stay and eventually get smashed around by Max so he went for an open seat at the best possible team which at the time was Renault who had just finished p4 in constructors.
He makes a better PR guy than a f1 driver.
The sponsors love him. Jacques Villeneuve called it for what it is.
Only Max, Lewis and Fernando have more race wins than him on the grid🤷
@@stevenp2309Bottas too
@@strexle7446 sorry forgot about him👍
Danny Ric should just make the move to NASCAR really. Between him being a known fan of the series, V8 Supercar guys coming in and increasing interest in Aussie drivers lately, and Haas folding his NASCAR team after this year and freeing up charters for other teams to expand, he'd have no trouble landing a ride for a season. Personally I'd rather like to see him do well in some other series than stumbling around at the back of the F1 grid with no direction or realistic chance of winning.
i fully agree. he is known as a fan of the series, and he has done promotional stuff with NASCAR before. as a ricciardo and nascar fan, i want to see him driving well and see him having fun, something he clearly is struggling to do in F1. get him racing on ovals, or even into supercars. i would love to see him racing on bathurst.
I 80% agree with Villeneuve at this point
65 ish
well villeneuve is often wrong so I dont like your odds
Said the same thing about Verstappen, look where we are now lol.
Then there’s lance stroll lmao
You idi O T 😂
You all need to respect Villeneuve's opinions, he knows what it looks like when once great driver overstays his welcome in F1 up to the point that he becomes a punchline.
Ricciardo has one good weekend every 3 races... inconsistency is his problem. It drives me nuts no one sees this hahaha
I see it man, lol. It's been Danny Ric's problem for a long time.
I agree. His one offs keeps him employed but doesn’t do much for the team in the championship
It's harsh, but true. I like the guy but nobody in their right mind can justify him keeping his seat imo.
if he's in another backmarker team with a worse teammate, maybe? but he's in a RB outperformed by his younger teammate while talented young driver like Lawson waiting for that seat, so no.
100%
I don't think Daniel still deserves to have a seat. He was brought in because Red Bull were looking for a potential driver to partner Max, and looking at everything that has happened recently, and how he has performed against Tsunoda for the majority of the season, it's clear that he is no longer good enough. If he's not challenging for the Red Bull seat, then his seat should be given to somone younger who can.
Honestly…. Is Perez driving better than him at the moment??? How can they attack Danny Ric and not question Perez?
@@peterookotai6965 Perez is driving horribly but brings in the most sponsors across the entire grid
@@peterookotai6965 who says we aren't? They both need to be dropped. They're still in F1 because of the money they bring (Perez directly, Ricciardo indirectly)
What is clear is there are a number of drivers far worse than DR. Zhou, Sargent, Kmag and Ocon are worse.
@@peterookotai6965Perez is being dragged worse than Danny Ric. The truth is they both need to go and are being kept by Horner.
What Jacques said about Daniel was for the most part very true. The one where he said he didn’t beat anyone else after he beat Max was a bit false- he did beat Hulkenberg in his last season at Renault and Ocon’s first at Renault. Other than that, yeah Jacques’ criticisms are pretty valid.
You forgot Vettel.
@@Chris-sf2cpthat was an outlier where Vettel underperformed and Daniel overperformed compared to the seasons before and after. The first year of a rule change can make someone look really good if they hit the ground running
@@daveruda that was an outlier😂😂any excuse hey?
For argument's sake, is it really saying much for someone who was touted to be a WDC calibre driver to have beaten two midfield drivers in his career though?
@@LoganSLRLockwood doesn’t matter what jacques said was factually incorrect
He does enough to be in F1 in a second seat at a lower team. It’s just that VCARB aren’t really that and Lawson deserves the shot more.
If he was the current number 2 at Williams or Haas it’d be fine. If Haas were Hulkenburg and Ricciardo now, then they’d be Bearman and Ricciardo next year
what were the accolades from Lawson really...?
@@vertigozBeating Logan Sargent in F2 by a single point, after finishing more races than Sargent.
Everyone’s acting like Lawson is Verstappen 2.0, I agree it would be good to see him in a seat, but red bull haven’t put him in that seat yet for a reason. Everyone was super keen for De Vries but we remember how that ended.
Ricardo should definitely remain as PR manager for RB, but his future contract should not include free access to company car!
F1 is become a popularity and money contest instead of finding faster drivers. Netflix and Ricardo are a medias dream.
Yes, we need Yuji Ide again
100% agree with JV. The only thing great about DR is his PR appearance.
Who deserves a drive is Sainz and Tsunoda. Talent should be put before marketability
Brutally honest and to the point comment from JV. I like that.
I mostly agree with JV. There’s guys that never even got a shot in F1 while he’s washed and is in a seat meant for prospects, not washed up veterans
He also barely made it out of Q1 in Montreal with a p14 when Yuki was p2
Ricciardo shouldn't be in that RB seat anyhow, but his teenage fanbase aren't ready to have that conversation.
Most drivers have teenager fanbase
Ikr
He shot himself in the knee and left Red Bull and went to Renult. He was good, but he got greedy and tried to go to mclaren and take a gamble. He wasn't used to the car and picked up some bad habits. He then went to Red Bull as a reserve driver to get rid of those and signed with RB. The car is mid, and that's it. As a huge ricciardo fan, I'm tired of people saying that his career is over. It's not, this his 13th season. How is he washed? How is he still racing 6 seasons after Red Bull? He brings in the money, he brings in the fans, and he brings in the points. It is what it is, his career is safe for the millionth time
oh no it isnt
Personal opinion, I think Ricciardo always plays it safe. Doesn't push the car too much which is why he is rarely seen making any mistakes. With Canada one thing is for sure, he is pushing way more during qualifying.
No simple answer
He was expected to be the lead in RB when he came in and with all due respect to Yuki, he was seen as kinda mid before this season and wether he’s ramped it up or riccs fallen off (or probably both), never the less he’s getting kinda dominated and 2 good results and a good personality shouldn’t be enough to keep his seat
Also, let's not forget that we don't _really_ know where that RB is. Yuki seems to have stepped it up this season, but we can't be sure he is extracting everything from that car as he has never had a consistent teammate. Alonso may be getting podiums in that RB, we don't know.
He should transfer to alpine as alpine needs positive energy within the team.
😂😂😂
He’s had the opportunity to be great multiple times. I just think there’s so many young drivers that are deserving of a seat.
Villenueve is right. His Toro Rosso time wasn't that big of a deal, his performance post-2018 has been mediocre at best.
He was neck and neck with Kvyat in 2015 and early 2016, beaten by Verstappen in 2018, beaten by Ocon in 2020, beaten by Norris in 2021 and has been beaten by Tsunoda. He's only there because the media and the fans still think he can be close to Verstappen at RedBull. The results show it's not gonna happen!
Actually Ricciardo beat Ocon in 2020.
People want young and upcoming talent in F1 but want their old favourite driver to stay. There are limited seats and you have to pick one!
I dont mind him being in f1 but not at red bulls junior team blocking incredible talent like Lawson.
Exactly. Thats just selfish of the guy. He aint worthy of that seat
Let’s see how “incredible” Lawson is.
He is good @@peterookotai6965
He was incredible in the Renault, and then, just a year later, he got a better car which he just couldn't drive. I think the McLaren years took away some of his hunger and motivation, but it does seem like he is capable of driving this car well. Just needs to get the eye of the tiger back.
In my opinion, DR's speed isn't hindered by other drivers or any particular setup. It's more about his deliberate approach and the comfort zone he chooses to operate within. As it stands, driving an F1 car has become less challenging, resulting in the time gap between the fastest and the slowest drivers being reduced to milliseconds. In such a competitive environment, your teammate can sometimes be your biggest rival. If the car isn't ready to achieve pole position but you push it as if it were, you risk crashing or inadvertently revealing your lap times to your teammate. Naturally, you wouldn't want to give away your advantages, would you? Think again!
Yes, does stroll, kmag, Zhou, Perez, Logan, ocon ?
Preach
This video is about Ricciardo you muppet. But i guess brain rotten Ricciardo fans just cant comprehend criticism of their fraud washed up idol 😂
Ocon has actually brought in results, despite some accidents, while the rest have been criticised and are on the way out (except for stroll, but its still obvious to anyone that he isnt cut for a team wanting podiums and wins). While daniel very rarely sees criticism, and if he is criticised, its more of “we know hes more capable than this, he will improve” rather than “hes not good enough he should leave”. Also you have lawson in the ranks for that seat, who will either be ignored or try and join another team.
Everyone here no including ricciardo
Ocon 🤓 lol 0.387s faster in Quali than Galsy. Ocon never beaten by Gasly so far on meri
We have this guy on French TV every weekend, and I can tell you that it’s that every weekend. Here, you either love it or you hate it.
A whole bunch of old F1 journeymen need to be retired for the new younger drivers the first to go should be Stroll.
What’s frustrating to hear is Daniel is meant to be this really experienced driver with great ability to feed back, yet if anything the biggest issues these past few years has been his ability to adapt to the car, and the ability to be consistent in his performance.
Sure the team are going to praise him for his “off-track contributions” but if anything that is a sign that the team have little to praise about his on-track performance.
The other issue is that Daniel does not seem to take accountability for his performance, and both himself and his fans continue to come up with random excuses to justify his lack of performance.
I’m fairly certain someone out there might have mentioned this but if things with Daniel Ricciardo in F1 actually didn’t worked out, I think it would be best if he moved on towards other Motorsports. Like the World Endurance Championship?? I mean many former F1 drivers have found success over there (if not more) than they did when racing in F1.
Ricciardo as a driver on his own earned his place in F1
That said, the “I’ll only drive for the top three teams” Ricciardo doesn’t deserve to drive in F1.
The man said exactly what I was thinking. Good to know I'm not alone in believing that.
Villeneuve is always right. Back in 2012 he was in rage, that Schumacher was getting kicked out for Hamilton, instead of Rosberg losing his seat.
I think what JV really was asking is why does Daniel still want to be in F1? He's getting beat, he isn't getting the main team seat, he's well into his 30s, and he's got to fight to stick around at a mid-field team. I think that's a fair question.
VCARB isnt for veteran drivers trying to prove something they’re not. Its for new upcoming drivers from the junior program. So no no no. Gtfo out that seat ricciardo. So fuckin selfish. You had a good run (not these last few years) and enough is enough
The Japanese rookie spins because he's under pressure, yet everyone turns a blind eye.

@@Melbourne-s4x nice try danny
Villeneuves comments are fair enough.
The same could be said for at least 1/3rd of the grid...
Gotta agree with Villeneuve with this one. Ricciardo should focus more on driving than joking and goofing around.
Give Lawson the seat. Result matters. Also, F2 has many talents. Give it them if not Lawson.
Him, Logan and Ocon need the das 🥾
Ricardo to nascar/imsa would be a better fit
Why were so many people attacking Villenueve for saying it as it is?
because we see through it, it's a take made not because it's as it is, but it's just a way to act tough.
People dont want to face reality
Because he's a hypocrite. He got kicked out from BMW sauber mid season for his bad performance.
Because he has probably criticised their favourite driver in the past.. But JV does not do this to get attention he has always been like this. Honest and outspoken. And now it is his job 😂
He actually had a decent season, out qualified Heidfeld but they wanted Kubica in the car. @@kojetono5853
DR is like that one strong but funny anime side charecter and now hes just around for comic relief
Villeneuve seems to have completely forgotten about Renault where RIC outscored Hulk in the second half of his first season there to beat him. He also comprehensively destroyed Ocon in 2020
Its also Ironic that Villeneuve himself spent his last years in Formula 1 where he was washed (Renualt, BMW Sauber)
These comments are so funny lmao Redbull isn't looking for someone to challenge Max. They are looking for someone who has a similar driving style to match the car but won't pick fights with Max. Perez is being held on due to his loyalty and sponsorships. With Daniel, it is the same deal except he has a one over on Perez by having a driving style that is more in line with Max's.
That's it. That's the whole deal. It doesn't matter how much better Tsunoda is. He is not going to get in while Horner is at the helm of Redbull. Neither is Sainz for that matter.
This isn't a driving-focused meritocracy. Team politics play as much if not an even greater factor in all this.
If he was at a different team, then it would be a different discussion. He is at a team that is supposed to be focused on rookie drivers, and yet they are taking a seat away from a rookie to keep Ricardo in the sport. He is already in a seat he doesn't belong in, so the pressure to prove he's worth it is going to be stronger.
Helmut Marko did just say that the RB team is STILL meant to be a place to develop drivers for RBR. Whether he still has the power to make this happen for Liam, and considering the poll results, most of us hope he does, is another question. The power struggle over there is hurting them in so many ways. The Checo signing is just not justifiable
His popularity and the marketability he brings to rb seems to be what keep him more than other factors. Rb do seem to be looking at a drivers Instagram account rather than their absolute ability...
No, next question.
Trash take
Bandwagon take
It's debatable, you can't just say no
If Ville wants to criticise a F1 driver who does not deserve a drive then how about L.Stroll? Maybe not because he is Canadian too and his daddy has lots of money. Anyway it's always up to a team to decide if a driver is worth keeping and a plus for Daniel is his ability to be involved in improving the car, a valuable skill.
All likable people deserve that one thing that they don't deserve.
i think it's crazy that villenueve said that lol, he won the championship in his second season and didn't manage to win another race for the rest of his career
In my view, Redbull's Junior Program suffered when Dr. Marko brought in Sergio P., on the verge of leaving as no team desires him, notably is not a member of the program. After Daniel R. left, Pierre Gasly was promoted but quickly dismissed before proving himself, a situation Alex A. also faced, despite his talent from Redbull's Junior team. Regarding new drivers, Yuki is backed by Honda, leaving little choice for either party. No one else has been good since then. WHHHHYYYYY??????
I think not. He's capable of doing good but not often enough kinda like Stroll. But the fact Lawson is on the side lines is wrong and Ricciardos had his time so time to giv a young driver a chance. Is there a rule against forcing a driver not to race and replacing that driver with another driver for one race? If not then Daniel and Yuki should get a go in the Red Bull.
Nobody:
...
Absolutely No-One:
...
Aldas' Thumbnail: "Honey Badger be shit, yo!"
He's not any worse than Perez right now RB will keep him because he's good for sponsors. I believe they will sign Lawson for 2026 soon so just to keep him around because I'm very doubtful Yuki will be there in 26 with Honda switching teams
Nobody is questioning Daniel's last 2-3 years, but what JV said about his entire career is just completely factually untrue. That was absolutely a personal attack, and when Danny Ric responded back JV played the victim like the little weasel he is. JV is a world champion but he's been a massive prick since his F1 days.
Well that's just how some people are and he's still a WDC so I would say he's earned his right to talk shit because he already achieved the pinnacle in both Indy car and F1.
@@erdemeebilgee3584 Yeah but just because you won a WDC doesn't mean everything you say is concrete fact. The whole point is sure Danny Ric has been mostly off the past 2-3 years since Mclaren, but he completely discredited his entire career and was just saying completely unfactual shit. Nobody is disregarding anything about Daniels Mclaren-Vcarb stint he's been far off his best, it's the other shit he said which is ridiculous and is coming off as a pure hater.
His attitude after his one off performance is his biggest issue. He becomes so complacent and comfortable after it that he ends up back to square one again. Partial blame can be blamed on the media such as people as Lawerance Barreta who put on a campaign to bring him back. But just as all the drivers he needs to shoulder the blame and take accountability for all his shortcomings.
His best seat was at Haas where he isn’t clogging a line of young drivers like he is currently.
If he truly has been a great input on car development then why doesn’t the team just put him as a reserve role for a race or two to motivate him? He lacks the desire and urgency to perform.
Ricciardo is good development driver watch last year how he gives feedback to his enginer in Texas I'm not sure and later in the season they upgraded AT04,Ricciardo is not useless but his time is gone.Red Bull need to put Ricciardo as developing driver that would be much better than sit in Racing Bulls and taking times young drivers.He had opportunity in Renault as a 1 driver and he misused for money and he go to McLaren.But everything can happend for Ricciardo.
Still has a better record than half the lot on the grid.....🤷
:) If you give ocon, gasly, or albon, bottas another tractor that works better than they have, maybe they can beat him
To say that Ricciardo doesn't deserve an F1 seat is ridiculous when you just got 8th in the race. Like anyone can just get 8th on an- at best -mediocre team??? Do you know how many drivers on all the lower performing teams would LOVE to get 8th place!?
I think people also need to take into account his ability to help set up and also help develop the car. Not saying that Liam wouldn't have those abilities but Danny Ric has proven it already.
Honestly, before we even start to critique richavocado, we gotta look at stroll, and Logan.
As long as they're still around and we have anyone who isn't playing f¹ bumper cars at most of the races.
When the crash prone folks leave then We can focus on Ricky bobby.
Most of what Jacques said was true, but you know what I find very ironic? Jacques himself is basically a proto-Ricciardo, he started his career with a lot of success and was absolute dog shit for the final years in f1 😂
Ric is the perfect example of a personality hire. If the homie had the personality of Lance Stroll he would have been out of F1 long time ago. He was very good in his prime but you are as good as your last race period.
he did good in canada tho, qualified 5th in q3
got some points
Love how I got recommended this today
Does anybody think he could go to Haas over say ocon ? Ric is more experienced, a better team leader , and I believe he would be a better mentor for Ollie (given they sign him)
He would also be a better marketing driver than ocon , and I would assume he would bring more sponsorship money to the team as well.
It’s not fair to say he was only winning against Vettel who was past his peak, Vettel was the reigning World Champion. An 18 year old Verstappen was still a race winner. You can only beat who is on track with you. By that measure you could argue that Verstappen’s 2nd and 3rd Championships were not impressive because he was only beating a terrible team mate.
Fact is, Ricciardo is a race winner. He’s fast on his day, and modern F1 requires a lot more value outside of the car, and Ricciardo brings that in bags!!
I’m a big Ricciardo fan, but I do agree his performances on track over the last few seasons have not deserved to be kept on. But then you could say the same about half the grid
Need be consistent in f1 on the top level, not now and then..
Daniel never should've left Red Bull. Should've just partnered Max and stayed there. He's gonna look back on the decision to move to Renault as the worst possible thing he could've done.
tbh I don't think Ricciardo would take a step down from RB to a lower team. We saw how he stuck up his nose to teams lower on the grid and literally sat out a season until he had a more attractive offer.
"My mom asked me if I were done with the dishes. I replied 'Daniel Ricciardo' and she smiled, knowing full well that they were washed." - Someone on the Internet
Who does DR most closely drive like? What's his preference for grip/slide balance front to rear....
I think we need to start thinking about ideal driver and team pairings based on both drivers of a team having the same driving style and preferences, otherwise it massively hinders car development with 2 drivers pulling in different directions, or at the least, developing in one drivers favour at the detriment of the other.
Some teams can handle this better than others too
I mean, if anyone knows about overstaying their welcome in F1, it's Jacques Villeneuve. It's not like the points he made haven't been made before or that they aren't valid but for some reason he also opted for revisionism of Ricciardo's career, saying things that just aren't true. And he's been dunking on him for years, so I would like to know what Villeneuve's beef with Ricciardo is exactly. And I don't know how much it is true but I read from French viewers that he is absolutely insufferable at times as a commentator for Canal+.
Do I think Ricciardo deserves the spot at RB? I lean more to no than yes but what does deserve even mean in F1, when you have the likes of Stroll in there. But I definitely agree he needs to get his head on straight and show consistently the skill we've only seen glimpses of in the past few seasons.
While Danny Ric would certainly bring experience to Haas, they should be wary of his mental state and carefully interview him. If Danny can't stay at Visa he'll have been dropped by two different teams and earlier he left Red Bull because Max was too good. Just not a lot of positive experiences over the past years that can really hurt ones confidence.
He is supposed to be a team leader in RB but just getting wiped on the floor by Yuki. Who's to say that doesn't happen in Haas with Bearman ?
I definitely want to see Liam Lawson, take his spot mainly as a Kiwi and for Red Bull to make up for how badly they treated Brendon Hartley.
But aside from that, Daniel is a decent driver worthy of a seat more so than Lance Stroll, but that's not saying much.
Honestly I dunno what his future holds but definitely time has moved on and is he worth the investment as it was in 2014 ?
Would be nice to see Lawson getting a chance. He was about equal to Sargent in F2, would be interesting to see what he can do in a full season.
I think DR still deserves to be in F1.
Ofcourse, from a driver standpoint its a bit... Underwhelming. But he still isn't a lance stroll or anything.
Jacques was a little heavy handed about his accomplishments in the early part of his career, but I agree with his take. He has been irrelevant for nearly 5 years now. But he’s still here because he’s apparently charming. I don’t get it. The Red Bull teams seem to be making some very different type of decisions on their driver line ups as of late.
Jacques has reached a level of my appreciation I'd never thought possible. 👏👏👏
And pretty puuuhlease, can we stop this pathetic Bearman hyping?
Seriously, no sponsor backing to speak of (which, I hear, is a BIG thing for Haas), his "marketability" worth little more than SFA and, as if this isn't bad enough already, he's well on track of getting trashed in F2 by his teammate for the second year running. Oh, and smashing his car into the barriers at the last race weekend was a surefire way to refresh Haas' memories of their recent rookie debacle with Schumacher and Marzipan.
No, Haas won't touch Bearman with a bargepole... unless they're desperately trying to prove Einstein's definition of stupidity wrong. 😉
Not just Liam Lawson; they should be worried about the whole prospect of RB Juniors. If Red Bull retains DR again this year, it will make it harder for their juniors to step up. What if Isack Hadjar wins F2 and Ayumu Iwasa finishes in the top 3 in Super Formula? Are they just going to line up as reserve drivers?
What if Max suddenly retires or moves to another team, or Checo retires? And Yuki moves to AM? They should prepare for the four seats that need to be filled.
Y’all act like Villeneuve statement is shocking but it’s been 3 years he’s saying it every race weekends when he’s on the commentary so nothing new under the sun
People it’s ok if you don’t like or hate DTS but if your taking that hate for the show and passing it to Danny Ric that’s weird like other drivers are shown on that show too but Danny gets all the hate for being on the show for some reason.
I think that we need to put some relativity to this instead of direct comparison to Logan & Kmag.
The expectation for Danny Ric was at one point comparable to that of the champs, or potential champs. The way we look at Lando & Charles. The expectation for Logan or Kmag was never that high. So from that lens I really do think he’s driving just as bad those two. Yuki has scored for 55% of the season so far and DR3 11%. That’s not acceptable for someone of that expectation. The car is clearly capable.
F1 at the end of the day is a business,if your looking for a return in your investment then Retardo isnt good stock,hes more suited to the big top
I think he should just drop F1. I remember his interview @ Beyond The Grid, where he said he needed a break to recharge and aim at the top. With Perez confirmed and Tsunoda beating him, I don't really see the point of him staying in F1. Go in IndyCar, they'll cover you in money.
As an Alpine fan I am hoping Lawson just gets fed up with RedBull and joins Alpine. But we all know he is too good for Alpine. 😅
To be fair, if we compare Ricciardo's results to what instead Perez has been doing at Red Bull he deserves to keep his seat, but apart from that no, I think he's altready played his chances
Ricciardo performed at Renault too, Jacques was unfair about that.
As a Ricciardo fan, his McLaren time was rough and his Alpha Tauri stint has been hot and cold. Not sure what’s going on but I hope he can figure it out and get back to the old Ricciardo.
Ricciardo had a good career up until Mclaren. On that point he started to regress as a driver. He has an amazying personality but his skills are diminishing. Some lose them at 32, others at 35 other at 40.

I don't think we should be talking about Daniel, we should be talking about Lance...
