Red Bull's worm has turned: ruclips.net/video/b6__uwCvvn4/видео.html
Truly the Mexican minister of defence. Blocking career paths left right and centre. Well done Checo.
Money talks
Its happened to him as well tbf.
oh come on, his last four seasons P4, P4, P3, P2 wtf u on clueless woke brit
@@Rasv- there goes the saying, "You are as good as your last race". Starting from the front row and ending P7/P8 is not very good, considering the Red Bull is capable of wins.
@@Rasv- must be easy to be that high when you got the best car on the grid.
The last three seasons Red Bull has for the most part of the season the 2nd or best car on the grid.
Sergio should be finishing in those positions at the minimum
He is 7th right now
Incredible how Riccardo went from a terrible McLaren season where everybody said he is washed. To now, where he might be a RBR driver again. That's F1 I guess.
I do feel like Ricciardo was in a McLaren car that wasn't working with him. He made the wrong call and Red Bull works better for him.
wished he would've stayed in RBR and fight verstappen instead of looking for more money. He's still washed anyway though
@@LawVSyes and no, he is a good F1 driver, but he is not great! I rate him middle of the pack... He is no Stroll but no Alonso either...
Fickle fanbase, can never keep their opinions straight.
Daniel all the way.
@@wplegend id still rate him the best out of the midfield if he has a good car that suits his needs like the renault or redbull. dont forget right before that 21 mclaren season Daniel got p5 in the wdc in a car that was 5th fastest. and hes the only driver to ever be close to verstappen. Checo, albon and gasly have always been between 4 -7 tenths off verstappen. but daniel and maxs setup are quite similar and Daniel at the end of 2018 when he wasnt invested in redbull anymore due to his car breaking like crazy was only 2 tenths off verstappen in pace
Him and Tsunoda are in such a weird spot at RB, and the longer Checo stays the weirder it gets. I feel this is especially bad for Daniel due to his stock not rising so far with his comeback, just middling. The problem is the lack of seats at most teams for 2026 and beyond. His only real options are both RB teams and both seats rely on Checo to continue failing.
2025 tsunoda will be a Red Bull. Lawson and hadjar will be at RB
It's not on checo, it's on red bull. Checo deserves his seat, and you obviously can't remove max. And corners soft spot for daniel doesn't help.
@@JOSETV1In what way does Checo deserve his seat? He's been terrible and could cost Red Bull the constructors championship. He should've already been replaced but he's kept there just because of merch sales, sponsor money and Liberty not wanting the ticket sales for Mexican GP to tank due to Checo being fired
@@JOSETV1 Checo doesn't deserve his seat. He's not good enough to be a wingman for Max. Just look at the results; if Checo keeps doing what he does Red Bull will lose constructors' championship. He can't afford to be bad this season.
@@eduardosantana8300 I feel like they're unhappy with Yuki's maturity. As in, he isn't getting more mature. The last thing they need is both drivers spitting the dummy regularly at Red Bull. Daniel is obviously a lot more mature, but he hasn't covered himself in glory with AT.
I feel like there is characteristics that they don't like in either Tsunoda or Ricciardo and they obviously aren't seeing what they want in Lawson. I would imagine Lawson is done already, they would have given him more seat by now if they thought he was a better choice than Ricc/Tsunoda/Perez. My guess is they will probably keep Perez at RB, then likely drop Ricciardo, give the seat to Hadjar and then see how he competes against Yuki. Maybe Ricc stays on as a substitute/3rd driver, I'd imagine he will find a seat at a lower team - maybe daddy stroll will finally give up on his dream of getting Lance to the top of f1 or double down and sack Alonso for someone he thinks Lance could beat.
Personally i dont understand why they dont just switch Checo and Danny for the rest of the season and simply see who does better. The better performer gets to keep the Redbull seat, the worse of the 2 moves over in RB for Lawson
money
F1 unchained suggests the car swap would also suit each other's driving style better as well. I agree with this suggestion ^
Some say delegates from FOM stepped in because they didn't want to have unsold tickets for Mexico.
100 percent agree I have been saying this for weeks
As fans of both of them, this would’ve been perfect for the two of them. Switch teams, see who does better, and then make the final decision to switch them back or keep it the way it is
The reality for Vcarb is that major sponsors aren't interested in a team for junior drivers. Big sponsors want big names driving their mobile billboards and Danny Ric ticks all the boxes, whereas Yuki and/or Liam, aren't in the same league.
Correct THESE ARE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR SPORTS
I said this before and I’ll say it again. If Perez is seriously gonna throw the WCC for Redbull. Then promote either Daniel or Yuki, bring Liam to Vcarb. Put Perez as reserve. Then go from there
This is what I am thinking, Checo will be dropped at the end of season if Red Bull loses the constructors championship so that way they can say " Hey we gave him a chance and he didn't deliver" to save face. Then they will bring Daniel in for 2025/2026 and give Liam his promised F1 seat at VCARB if he doesn't flip them the bird and move to another team like Alpine or Sauber/Audi, but this makes the most sense. Lose the championship, blame Checo, promote everyone's favorite Aussie, give Liam what was promised, and carry on.
no driver sane enough is going to try to go to Alpine...
@@Kaimax61 100% agree, Alpine is a crap show right now
If I was in Liam’s shoes I’d just make a pitch for Audi. Do like Piastri and just say “I won’t be driving for any RB outfit” Give them the finger for just toying with him for the past year or more.
@@bemvey Audi didn't even want Sauber junior Theo Pourchaire: a driver who vastly outperformed Lawson in two seasons in F2 and was an actual F2 champion.
Piastri won F2 & F3 championships in his rookie season, so why would Lawson be in crazy demand above some of these guys like Pourchaire, Drugovich & Schumacher?
He clearly doesn't have the kind of leverage to try to bluff/blackmail RBR into a seat.
Dude, why do you all have such a belief ric will get the seat... His results are worse than checo.
It’s crazy how you upload a video almost everyday
Really appreciate the work you put in
This channel is destined to grow
I think redbull also need to accept that no other driver will be close to Max in that RB20, and that they can’t expect someone to compete for wins. They NEED to save what’s left, but it won’t be more.
Max is in own own league.
You're 100% correct Red bull need a solid number 2. Like Botas Barrichello or Coulthard someone who can mop up when their teammate has a collision, engine failure etc. Checo isn't that guy not sure if DR is that guy either but the longer Checo stay the more respect he will lose in the eyes of the fans.
Red Bull is not really expecting anyone to beat Max. They just want a solid driver who performs regularly, not failing Q1, Q2, or crashing non stop. Problem with Red bull is that Checo not performing.
They want a second driver that is consistently 2-3
They haven’t been able to find that because of the way max drives.
@@Milkywayboy i wouldn't blame Redbull doing so last year. This year, Checo is failing again because he fxxks up with his own race with stupid mistakes and qualifying results.
Ricciardo and Verstappen racing style have been made by 2016/2017/2018 rb car. Ricciardo could be more familiar in the red bull car that in the VCARB
Yeah, the vcarb is understeery while Daniel craves an oversteery car
Agreed
@@KarenTondroexactly we've seen the vcarb love slow speed tracks and struggle in places like Spain, spa etc
The fact that Red Bull didn't sign Sainz shows that Horner isn't really interested in outside drivers, just stroking his ego. The best thing they could have done is sign Sainz (for Perez's seat) and sign Lawson (for Ricardo's seat).
No
They don’t want anyone jacking with max! Max is RBs bread and butter
No reason to have a McLaren driver issue or a Mercedes driver issue
Sainz was a Red Bull junior :)
@@Milkywayboy And Jos has a problem with Sainz father. Max needs to boot his toxic father away.
Perez was an outside driver
Sainz technically isn't even an 'outside driver.'
He came up through the RB Junior Program, and drove for RB Torro Rosso when he was first starting out before Renault.
I have faith in Daniel. He's still got it. He will redeem himself soon.
Would you bet your house on it?
He's been doing better recently, matching and even beating Yuki who has grown and is regarded high now. Idk if Danny would be very special in Redbull but i think he might perform better than Checo is atm
@@BlissifiedHH its clear that the vcarb just doesnt suit him. It is well known that his driving style is very close to maxs, and the only team that leans to slippery driving style is Redbull.
Absolutely he will GO DAN
@@tvs99999well in 2015 max finshed 4th twice in a toro rosso, alonso has performed in practically every car hes been in, even stroll scored a podium in williams and 2 at racing point, checo scored 11 podiums over 10 years in 3 different teams, whats your point, you cant just perform in one car, you have to perform in all of them. i hate this excuse because it only and i mean ONLY applies to daniel. cope that yuki > daniel.
of the four drivers qualifying average position it Max , Daniel, Yuki and of course Checko is last. it seems like while the RBR choice to keep Checko was a very last minute thing. I suspect their are some back room discussions and contracts being prepared for the end of the season. It's pretty clear Daniel and Max along with Yuki and Liam at RBVisa next year. If we don't hear Liam's people are talking with Audi after the September deadline. I bet there is a contract in place behind closed doors
that isn't true, that's the last 8 races which makes it irrelevant lol.
Danny Rics points in the last 1/4 of the season could have looked alot better with decent strategies, VCARB has dropped the ball here. RB are shooting themselves in the head with Checo, the rumours say F1 stepped in and asked for Checo to stay. There's no guarantee that Max stays at this point, increasingly looking like he will move on for 2026. I think Danny is needed for stability. Lets face it the whole RB org is still engaged in civil war. At this rate its not inconceivable the war ends with RB with Darth Christian and Yoovidhya and VCARB with Emperor Marko and Mark Mateschitz.
I’m biased but I love Danny ric
Me too
Yes I like him as well. However… his performances are average at best and not Red Bull material IMO.
Checos sponsors and fans have made this situation needlessly complicated
Fans, not so much, This is just money talking
Fans buy merchandise.
@@exoria1098Mexico is a growing market, that is true. But there are more Australian/Japanese fans and those fans are more willing to buy merchandise for their favorite driver. Checo has his seat because of Carlos Slim, not his fans
@@07_danishwistara29 Actually it's a combination of both; Slim etc. providing huge sponsorship and the vast majority of RBR global merchandise being sold at Mexican & US GP's.
Also, actual RB beverages rapidly gaining popularity in the lucrative Mexican market and selling more each year that Checo races for RBR.
Fire Checo, DR gets his seat for a season or 2 have Yuki vs Lawson and promote the one with better results to the seat DR was occupying. Done. Everyone is happy (except Checo but honestly he doesn't look happy now either)
Sounds reasonable
I say keep Daniel lower level he’s had his chance, remove Perez for yuki, up Lawson . And when hadger wins f2 make him reserve until Daniel is finished
I guess the nub of it is RB's favoured options are performing disappointingly and dreadfully, while those it doesn't trust are performing.
It doesn't help that Max can cope so well with a car tuned for speed at the expense of driveability that likely any teammate will struggle.
So make a more driveable car and bring in one of the performing 'less trusted' drivers. Not so easy ...and then there's 'team Joss'...
Personally, while I'd regret the loss of Max, I'd quietly breathe a sigh of relief when he and more importantly his dad finally leave.
The car is build for max driving and no one else
😂😂😂😂😂
@@YoungMaster_626 no the car was always pointy since webber and vettel. max just gets on with it well
@@YoungMaster_626well ricci drove max's car last year silverstone race week and his time would of put him 2nd on the grid that race! I think .3 slower than max! Not sure what else he could do to prove he is the best option to take the seat!
As a McLaren fan, I’m very happy Checo is with RBR.
I wonder why😂
They should’ve tried Riccardo this season and if he did good keep him and didn’t sign an academy guy. Perez was never ever consistent and he’s poor rn
The real problem boils down to the fact that the RB juniors driver isn't "working" anymore. Between Vettel and Max, ot produced to WC level talents. Who's in the pipeline now that's a comparable talent? The cutthroat reputation has become a real liability now that Merc, Mclaren, Alpine, Ferrari, etc. all have established junior programs with various levels of success but generally much better stability.
The RB driver line up was historically informed by the competitive advantage it had in the junior driver program, but it just doesn't have that anymore.
Give Danny the RBR seat and give Lawson the RB seat
He never really had 'it'
Driver stagnation is going to hurt F1. Keeping drivers like Ricciardo, Perez, and Magnussen have kept seats full with declining results. This while young drivers sit in simulators and fans don't get to see their talent in the big leagues. I'd much rather see Lawson drive then watching Perez flop around in the low midfield.
F1 is a business. perez has money. Liam doesnt have as much.
Daniel’s results are not declining though. So you are wrong there buddy
@@Chris-sf2cpthey are kinda, he scores half his points in one performance
@@PokeGOAT17 wtf does that mean ? 😂
@@PokeGOAT17he scored 5 of his points in Miami sure but that was 9 races ago and he's scored 7 since then with more points than Yuki since China and he probably would have more if it wasn't for stroll being stroll and vcarb shagging his strat in hungary
I hope Daniel goes to Red Bull, considering that in the last few races he's been outperforming Yuki and he hasn't been that far behind on average, while he would be a massive marketing ploy and bringing in Yuki would be incredibly risky with regards to his (and Max's) temperaments. Remember how even though Verstappen crushed Sainz in 2015, they still had a horrible rivalry? I'd then expect Lawson to go to Red Bull in 2025 with Hadjar going to Super Formula for a year after winning the title this year before partnering Lawson in 2026, with Lawson now providing the role of an experienced driver (he has extremely surprising maturity), but this is contingent on Perez' sponsorship becoming a non-factor.
Lawson seems very much in the Piastri mode to me, quiet but confident.
This! So many people are looking at ricciardo as so much worse than tsunoda when if you look at statistics he is only slightly behind tsunoda on pace overall which was aided by the terrible start of the season and the dnfs that were no fault of his own. You don't see people so vocal about the teammates that are heaps further behind their teammate unless it's Perez and vcarb as a team has one of the lowest gaps between the two drivers. I believe red bull should swap Perez and Ricciardo for the rest of the year and depending on performance Ricciardo can be placed back in the vcarb for Yuki and Perez can be dropped for Lawson
he scored half of his points in one performance, yuki is still beating him and carrying constructors
@@PokeGOAT17 1. But in the last couple races Ricciardo has been better 2. Tsunoda with Verstappen might cause unneeded tension within the team like Sainz did 3. Ricciardo is more marketable than Tsunoda
Newey going to Aston Martin is tantamount to a Rembrandt painting being displayed in a truck-stop McDonalds.
It's a new fast-food chain called "Strolls".
AM will run front of the pack and Lance Stroll could well be World Champion.
@@desshinnick9365 He’ll be world champion because everyone will be too scared to get close to him given his lack of situational awareness lol.
If only there was an 11th team for more drivers to race in...
I honestly think perez shouldve gone to VCARB at the start of this year and put Daniel in the RBR seat
Why? Why do people think Ricciardo is better I don't get it. He has done nothing to show it.
@@lukasr1166I just think the type of car would suit him much better. His testing in the RB19 was really good. Keeping him around for marketing is just aggravating.
@@lukasr1166well I think now they should have just tried it anyway. Right now, cus perez is so bad Ricardo punt isn’t a bad shout.
@@lukasr1166wont be hard to beat Perez mate.. Also per3z is in the third/sevomd fastest car on grid... But is he ever on the podium or top 5? Anybody could do better than that
Perez is disgusting in his wackness!!!
My left testi can drive better than Perez in that car
@@lukasr1166 Daniel at least likes oversteer, compared to Perez who doesn't.
RedBull dont care and never cared for Yuki. He was always just honda ... and the honda conection flew away
Riccuardo is such a popular personality, he likely brings in quite a few fans and sponsers
clearly not as much as perez
then get him off track, so he can take care of fans and sponsors, and let someone else drive that car.
I'm not sure why there is any confusion. I think it is pretty clear. Horner wants Max and Daniel at Red Bull, Yuki and Liam at RB. Hadjar comes in as reserve driver. That takes effect from whenever they manage to terminate Checo. In 2026, Yuki is no longer required because Honda is gone. Don't come at me Yuki fans, I'm not saying he isn't any good. But for reasons we the public may never know, Red Bull don't seem interested in him. If Max stays and if Daniel has a half decent 2025 they keep them both at Red Bull and bring Hadjar in beside Lawson at RB. If Max quits they will probably try to replace him with one of the McLaren drivers but that will only be possible if they are still a top team which may depend on how they go building their own power unit.
The only doubt is around the question of who gets to call the shots. If Marko is still living under the delusion that he is the one who chooses the drivers that might all change. But I suspect he doesn't really care anymore. He has given up on trying to find the next Max and is acting more like Max's manager these days.
The honey badger impersonation caught me so off guard lol
3 mins from a recommendation?
Pog
Given Checo's current form and the language after Spa, it definitely feels like a snap decision to keep him and it's sad how many deserving drivers are missing out because of it.
it is still absolutely WILD to me that a friend of mine put you on and i immediately recognised you as sokus voice for DBZA, really cool to find your an F1 tuber too!
I think people are missing the point. There’s no need to replace Perez at the moment cuz it won’t make any difference at all. Red Bull is not in a good place at the moment and replacing Perez won’t bring them back, plus they don’t have anyone to replace him with that for sure is better than Perez. They know what they’re doing, for now they need to work on their car and then worry about a driver that can keep up with Max.
I feel like Liam would had been the better driver than Ricciardo if given the chance more, who knows what he could done as well.
yeah but you cannot leave perez in redbull, just as you cannot put Liam in the Red bull seat.
imagine you’re a senior accountant, with over 10 years of experience and you suck so bad at your job that the company pays you not to work for them, so you call your friend and get an internship at their company taking that entry level position from qualified candidates . Y’all hear how ridiculous that sounds? That’s how this whole situation with Daniel sounds
yeah just no. very dumb analogy. very different stuff happening.
No that’s a simpletons perspective who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
@@tvs99999 McLaren sacked him because he wasn’t preforming. Horner hired him for marketing and now he is in his mid 30’s in a junior team. It’s freaking ridiculous
@@darthclone5081 he sucked in the McLaren but was by far the best driver in the rbr along side max
@@nuztuz903 that was six years ago, that ricciardo is long gone. Plus what does that say about his abilities if people have to go back six years to justify his position in f1
One thing is clear, I doubt that Max will ever be played like that. He won't 'mentor' his replacement and then thanked for his services.
I have to imagine Perez and Riccardo are bringing in more money than a championship place or two.
It’d be awesome to see Dani do 1 race in the RB and see what happens!
The longer this goes on the more I think it is about the Max seat and less about the Checo seat. With Max and Marco linked so closely together Horner is vulnerable to the maneuvering of the Verstappen camp. With Ricardo in the background it seems to calm Max and makes the promise of removing Checo seem real.
💩 take
I would love to see Danny in Formula E. They need the attention and funding he brings to the table.
Simple. Checo = Guaranteed sponsorship money. Ricciardo = Might fail upon moving back and without the sponsorship money eventhough he's popular.
Bringing Ricciardo back now doesn't make sense. What if he completely shits the bed and Redbull ends up losing the constructors anyway? It makes sense to keep Checo.
Yes! We need more juniors. I don't think the driver pool has ever been this stale? I really hope Liam gets a seat. Hopefully Alpine go with Doohan. There's just something exciting about young drivers that we're missing out on.
alpine signed doohan💓
It's not even about business anymore. It's personal. Ricciardo is still in F1 and Yuki isn't getting a serious look at RBR for personal reasons. Nothing else makes sense
Dont think ricciardo has a posh accent, can u reupload with an aussie accent when reading his statement
He uses that posh accent every time he reads a statement. It sucks. But he is consistent lol.
It doesn't make sense that "everybody expected Checo to be replaced" unless you believed rumours at face value and subscribed to social media conspiracies and IF Ricciardo was comfortably beating Tsunoda, which he hasn't done and most likely won't do. With the safe option of not kicking Checo out both Checo and Ricciardo have likely their last season in the sport, if none of them deliver you can be sure both will be out
How this guy doesn’t realise it’s an old Ricciardo interview?
Come on mate….
I'm really enjoying your content mate. Big Oscar fan here as well. Subbed
Hmmm…reported now that the Dutch GP listed Daniel Ricciardo as Max Verstappen’s teammate on their app. Was the change “supposed” to happen….
Mark it.... Max leaves at end of season.. Danny Ric moves up and then Lawson joins Yuki.
RB found themselves with 3 out of 4 seats being some kind of a "paydriver". Yuki for his Japanese passport/Honda connection, Daniel for his PR and sponsor appeal, and Perez for merch/red bull drink money sold in Mexico and sponsors.
10:24 perhaps Daniel will eventually go onto be Red Bull's next David Coulthard, wheeled out for show runs every now and again
he doesn't want that
Law, you managed to put everything I’ve been feeling into words. You hit the nail on the head here
@LawVS did you hear about fp1will's copyright battle with f1?
Yes, I can relate after last year getting nobbled.
Have you consider which quiet part isn't mentioned here. What if the kept Perez because they expect Max to leave in the near future? Whether that is next year or 2026.
That doesn't even make logical sense. If they expect Max to leave, they should want to get in a good driver as quickly as possible to make them comfortable in the team. Why keep the consistently awful checo around? He won't replace Max.
Checo’s contract is up to 2026 as Checo wants to see how the new regulations will be like and then at that point he can decide whether to keep going or retire. Since if I remember, Checo said that Red Bull will be his last team before retiring
I think/hope Checo could be out after Singapore cause there’s another almost month long break between Singapore and COTA
Can you talk about how FOM has taken down more than a dozen of fp1will's videos?
this
Opportunity missed to say Danboozled in your thumbnail
Only issue I had with this remark from Daniel was that last sentence "If my heart aint in it anymore" thats NOT the same as not being on the level anymore while holding up the youth.
Its not the same thing. Your heart can be still in there, but simply not perfoming on the needed level anymore (which I dont think is the situation now, but thats not the point).
He kinda contradicts himself with that last sentence
2025:
Move Checo to other discipline but still with Red Bull
Yuki with Max in RB
Daniel with Liam in RBR
2026:
depends on performance, but many options to choose from
or Max leaves RB and the problem solves itself 😂
It's Foam theory time. I believe it is Yuki that is in the most danger of losing his seat. Yes, he signed a new contract, but so did Sergio Perez and that didn't stop throngs saying Perez was going to be out. I think what Christian Horner is waiting to see if Yuki will lose his temper one more time. It came to this because of Yuki's uncontrolled anger at team orders earlier in the year where he drove dangerously after the race. That kind of behavior will take a while to live down before any team considers him for a seat (ref. KMag). I think one more uncontrolled anger situation will be all it takes, and Yuki will have made up Christian's mind for him. If that happens, I believe Red Bull release Yuki and bring in Liam Lawson.
If Liam doesn't get a seat in Torro Rosso and he is available, where will he actually go? It's not like there are a lot of places for him to go to.
If there was an 11th team, then this wouldn't be a problem but yeah
Maybe Audi? Would be a shame
Binotto is looking for young drivers for Audi. Bortoleto is being touted as the main name, but i can bet that Marko will try to slip Liam's name in there.
I think there are no other options for next year, but for 2026, we could see seats at Haas and Alpine opening up if their rookies have a bad debut season.
@@marcosjunior1014no shot bearman gets dropped after a year. ferrari will make sure that doesn’t happen
@@marcosjunior1014 What's Webber got to do with Lawson??
@@mikespearwood3914 oh shoot, i intended to say Marko, and mt brain just went with Webber
i think this is mainly down to one major factor: horner’s consolidation of power after he was almost ousted. Before this past winter Horner just liked Checo and Danny as entities, even when their performances were wanting. During the Controversy, checo and danny were the two drivers who came out publicly behind Horner. Ffw to now, Horner is secure in his position, Helmut’s influence is minimized, and Horner can keep the guys he likes regardless of how good their recent track records are/arent.
I do love your videos and I watch most of them but recently they’ve been stretched out too much to get to 20 mins. It feels like quite a bit of waffle/filler and repetition. Shorter, punchier videos about 10 mins would be good. I tend to get halfway then find something else to watch. Just some honest feedback - best of luck!
Came for the news, stayed for the waffling 🎉
Yes. Shorter will be better.
Lots of us listen to Law for his waffling. That's his niche
Tik tok brain
Yeah, it's starting to get like Aldas, who I gave up on because he was needlessly waffling on to push his videos in to the 10-20-minute range, when he could basically make all his points in a 5-8-minute video.
Like how you all defend Daniel even after his embarrassing years at McLaren, but you believe he will be great at RB. Delusional people you are. What Checo did in RB, no one else managed to do after the supppsed brilliant years from Ricciardo. He is crap now because of that car being constructed for Max driving style.
Checo fan detected.
Cars aren’t built around a driver. They’re built to be fast and the drivers maximise them. Checo can’t maximise it.
You're literally contradicting yourself. So Ricciardo can't regain his form in a car that suits him after the McLaren stint, but Checo's form is down to a car that doesn't suit him...but that's fine? Make up your mind!
I like how you don’t have a clue about what the facts are, it’s hilarious and shows that it’s you who is delusional.
The Maclaren was a piece of sh#t until 2023 and Checo has done nothing in the RB.
He got results when it was the best car by a huge margin and the moment it required actual effort to stay with Max he’s nowhere to be seen.
The fact that the RB is designed around Max would actually suit DR better than Checo because he and Max prefer a similar type of car and have more similar driving styles than Max and Checo.
@@housecat84 That the car is built to be fast are straight lies from red bull for thier marketing reasons. Max fan here, the car is build around max. Check max interviews. Start of season = checo is good, end of season after upgrades checo = bad.
@@vinnie4v277 it’s not a lie, it’s a rule of thumb for any car. Oversteery cars are faster than understeery cars so if a driver can tolerate or thrive in an oversteery car, they will be faster, as they rotate through a corner faster if they’re controlled.
This is where Checo falls flat. He can’t handle oversteer, and he can’t adapt to the updates.
It was the same case as last year too.
Both Riccardo and Yuki seem out of place at VCARB unfortunately Yuki doesn't have much options until Honda are back and Ric probably thought he will be back at RB especially with Checo continuing his poor performance. 2025 will be interesting
Redbull just can't seem to let checo go because they are so hooked on the sponsorship money. All this could be avoided with just one move. Redbull of old would've done this in a heartbeat. Redbull doesn't seem to be at the top of their game anymore. It makes you wonder, if Max is seriously gonna think of making a move to Merc since they are on the rise and engine regs change in 2026.
I like Daniel’s personality but he is NOT the answer for Redbull. Tsunoda has outperformed him the majority of the season and deserves a better chance but Redbull won’t give him the chance cuz he’s not charismatic and his English is not good. Checo has the sponsorships behind him at least. He can perform better with a car that suits him, we’ve all seen it and he can play the team game, we’ve all seen that.
i feel like this is the moment another team on the grid would really give people something to look forward to.
11:28 Handling his emotions on camera? You mean how he likes to say "I won't say it but..." and then he says it anyway. He just virtue signals someone who won't say things on camera and he does anyway. When he says "I'll save it for later" is that really not saying anything on camera? It's very clear he's upset with the team when he does it. Not saying the actual words gives him a pass? I don't know about that. He's not good at restraining himself at all, he just shows the image of someone trying to, but ultimately you always know when he's angry cause he makes it obviously clear.
what are you talking about? Daniel is one of the calmest drivers and doesn't let anger dictate his races, unlike verstappen or tsunoda who both make mistakes under anger (Like max in hungary 2024 or yuki in mexico 2023/bahrain 2024). When they're racing they're full of adrenaline and anyone could have an outburst, yet Daniel doesn't. He makes a point of letting his team know he's unhappy or angry but doesn't dwell on it. Everyone including russell, sainz, zhou, norris, leclerc, tsunoda, sargent, raikkonen, vettel, schumacher, hulkenberg, perez, hamilton, verstappen, albon all make their anger clear in the race by shouting. Very few like Bottas, magnussen, piastri and Ricciardo doesn't. They keep their head down and race like normal. You're making an issue out of nothing, Yuki himself has credited Daniel for showing him how to handle things and keep calm on track.
DR being openly critical of Helmut Marko, and DR saying he will go when he's ready and not before suggests;
- he has backing from above and knows it
- he knows what's coming and it's in his favour
There appears to be a lot of internal turmoil at Red Bull and it's reflecting in the people leaving and on track performances.
This possible train wreck seems far from over.
Any reason no one is talking about Daniel moving to Audi?
If he is so great at development, Audi seems like a great fit for his latter years.
To know what's happening at Red Bull and with DR, go get a Magic 8 Ball, the one you shake and gives you an answer.
6:50 TBH, idont care for juniors, Horner HAVE to give back on loyalty to his main drivers, why? its the right thing to do, and make sure future main drivers understand its worth for them in the end to be loyal to Horner.
My take. Horner is hedging his bets with DR. If Perez fails after the summer break DR is the only choice to take that seat in the short term. Alternatively if Max leaves at the end of the year Perez or a junior won't cut it at RB as the lead driver.
if you want the situation where VCARB can to do what Toro Rosso use to do back in the days, then both Checo and Daniel should be out, with Yuki moving up to redbull then we can find a newer rookie (propably Hadjar) to partner Lawson
Perez is there until Mexico , then Dan gets the seat and Lawson goes to VCarb. That's what is happening.
LAW! DID YOU SEE THE NEWS ABOUT NEWEY JOINING ASTON AND POSSIBLY MAX JOINING ASTON TOO!???
I'll get to that tomorrow
you are delusional if you think that max would ever leave redbull.
@@tvs99999 I don't think he will. But it's interesting that Aston is trying for him.
Wait Fr?
@@flamingburritto if that’s true, I hope to god they don’t fire Alonso just to keep stroll in
Fernando and max and Newey would be the ultimate trio
The only reason he is still around is that mediocre former Ferrari driver of a father in law of his and Marko being compatriots and bosom buddies.
Yet no one mentions it.
Who, Ricciardo? Who's his father-in-law??
@@mikespearwood3914 oh come on, do your homework!!!!
... I dropped all the hints here... One more for the lazy... He used to own 50% of Scuderia Toro Rosso, and still holds stocks in the current VCarb...
How else would that smiling mediocrity of his son in law still have a seat otherwise? 😂😂😂😂
@@LathropLdST Wow, never knew. I don't really get into all that gossip.
as an aussie, please go on about Oscar! The man's looks set for a HUGE future in F1 and I hope he starts spraying vegemite on the podium
Red Bull finally became a slow moving, bloated corporation, they grow up so fast 🥲
Get rid of Perez give Daniel a shot back next to Max, Lawson into the junior team job done. See that wasn’t hard was it.
Im not trying to say bad thing about DR. But what constitute a good driver? I though he should be able to adjust to any car given to him whether or not suit his preference. IMO, you cant value a driver highly if the team always has to provide a car to his liking. Not all upgrades can be predicted.
Max, Lando, Lewis have shown how they dont really affected by their car characteristics. Uncomfortable yes but not to the point til they race far behind their teammates
Fully agree. I really hate the “Daniel is a great driver given a car that suits him” remark. You can use that excuse for maybe a few races into a new team, but after that it just shows your lack of adaptability.
I also don’t agree with the narrative around how his past success in the Redbull somehow proves he will do well again now. There will be some similar characteristics but we are taking about 7 years ago… with now completely different regulations. I would put my bet on a faster and more adaptable driver than praying Daniel will somehow magically improve if he gets that seat.
Welcome to F1. In a team you have 2 drivers, number 1 and number 2. The number 1 basically calls the shots. Every driver has a certain style that they have to adjust their car to fit.
Now the problem. Lando, Max, Lewis are all number 1 drivers. All are in the car for many years and development goes by them. Not affected? did you not see few past races or Max?
their no. 2 drivers have to rely on the car as is and set it up by themselves to be better.
Daniel is know for his oversteering based car, just like Max. Yuki is on the other side, understeer. So obviously the Vcarb doesnt fit Daniel because its not made for his style. The redbull is. Change Maxs config to understeer and you will see him struggle as well.
Redbull saw Daniels results in his test. If he was bad, he wouldnt be near the team. They know better then we could ever.
Max and Lewis sure, but Lando is an unknown. He has driven the same car with the same basic characteristics until maybe sometime this year. But I would argue that they still have not banished the weird characteristics of that car. I would love to see how he would do in a pointy car.
Most drivers are great drivers in a car that "suits" them though. Max included, drivers of that caliber just have a much higher ceiling in a car that suits them and can make it dance. I think that we have witnessed this just recently as Max has made it very public that he does not enjoy driving the current car.
As far as a slow start to the year, LH has a "slow" start every year and then ramps up hard in the 2nd half. Not saying that he is LH, but I am saying that he is not the only one that takes some time to adjust to a car.
Max has been in RBR for nearly a decade, Lando has been with McLaren his whole F1 career (6 years?), and Lewis has been with Mercedes for well over a decade now. So not really a fair comparison.
Ricciardo has been in four teams in six years, and only really struggled with one of those cars (and got a huge payout to NOT drive it!).
that's an unfair comparison to make. Max has a car that is made for his driving. The only other car he drove was toro rosso. He isn't able to handle rb20's understeer currently. Similarly Lando has never driven a car that isn't Mclaren. You don't know if he adaptable unless he's in a completely different type of car. Daniel meanwhile could work with cars that has strong front end like Red Bull and Renault, but struggled with Mclaren that has a weak front & massive understeer (just havea look at how much hes strugglingto turn the car in his onboards). Even though it took a while, he still adjusted to Vcarb which is also leaning towards understeer. So you can say he has improved in adapting to different car styles. Max and Lando haven't had to try it since they have a car that's either made for them or works to their style.
Considering the harsh nature of rbr with its drivers and their contracts, perez has overstayed his welcome
..... I have questions about whether Red Bull refuses to promote Yuki because he's not a European driver....
It’s crazy to me that he gets the seat over yuki. I get that he’s great for PR but Yuki has earned it
Ahhh mate what's so hard to understand about the Checo decision. Redbull clearly don't want to have to pay him out by breaking his contract before the end of the season. It's simply a case of at what point in the constructors championship is it more expensive to drop and few places and get less money or pay him out. I am assuming there is a performance clause in his contract that will allow them to part ways at the end of the year. I would not be surprises to see him axed after this year is done......Ricciardo to the top team......and Lawson to RB
9:26 nah it was not really effective we have seen that sense Daniel left Red Bull for Renault. i dont agree with the "jr team" approach at all. i think Red Bull really need to make sure RB are NOT a jr team, cuz jr teams are just a competition blocker, to block other teams to enter F1 and produce more competition on the field.
Danni steps in after Mexico, gets a few races to prove himself which will decide his fate for 2025. Liam and Yuki for VCarb 2025
I LOVE Danny Ric but I like him at RB. I would like to see Yuki go to the main team and Danny stay and train up Liam a bit.
RB could just find Ricarrdo a job as a mentor or driver coach - Daniel doesnt need to be a competitor to assist Yuki -- he would do a great job with Lawson as well. Giving young drivers a chance is the only way you know what their potential is. Lawson could be smashing it this year if he was given the chance he should have got.
Seems to me that Red Bull (ultimately being a marketing company) are treating F1 as 'racing as a means for marketing' rather than 'marketing to pay for racing'.
They can't bear to lose those sweet sponsorship dollars Checo brings in or the PR power of Danny Ric, so they're leaning on Max to do all the winning.
This is what I hate about modern F1.
It's sad for the sport when driver marketability is more important than talent.
visa RB have been very good but have the same issue strategy they have their ups and down, saying that their qaully strategies are terrible the amount of time s they miss the peak track condition . like trying to be off the track because there's another team with priority
Something tells me we might be seeing too much of Christian's kitchen for this season's DTS 👀!
I really thought that at 7:47 "a very fitting analogy" was going to be followed up with "because he can fit in an oven" 💀💀💀
To me he’s definitely good enough to be in f1. The problem is red bull has 5 drivers good enough to be in f1 and are surprisingly afraid to be cut throat even though that is what they have been previously known for.
