Damn. I know he wasn't doing that great, but the way that Red Bull just makes way to someone else mid season is a bit harsh. If this is indeed true, hope Daniel can make it as I think this would be his last chance at landing a seat for next year.

[โ€“] forsen@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I haven't really followed Nyck's progress, but dropping him mid season like this is a strong statement. Not even Latifi or Mazepin were dropped this hard. This is Ricciardo's last try, and he has to outperform Tsunoda if he doesn't want to be dropped either.

[โ€“] docmox@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Latifi and Mazepin were both pay drivers. Likely, sponsors and money were tied to their seats.

[โ€“] Saneless@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Well, Maz being dropped had serious financial strings attached. And what would a replacement driver have done, had a slightly faster 20th place pace?

[โ€“] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And the only reason he was dropped was because of Russia and they didn't want a direct link from Haas to them.

[โ€“] Saneless@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Right. He would have been there again, paying his way to the bottom

[โ€“] yamasaur@yamasaur.com 8 points 2 years ago

The way red bull drops and moves people mid season also adds so much uncertainty into the mind. Probably doesn't have the greatest effect on their psyche in addition to all the stress of everything else going on leading up to races.

Is it possible this is a test run for DR to see if he's fit to replace Perez next season, or is that a long shot? What's Red Bull's upside for putting him at AT for half a season?

[โ€“] lackthought 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

said this in another thread but I think this is more of a test for Yuki, if he beats RIC then Yuki replaces Perez next year

[โ€“] freehugs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For sure, that would make sense too.

[โ€“] chrisphero@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It sure looks like itโ€ฆ although I thought they gave him time till the summer breakโ€ฆ

[โ€“] freehugs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Me too.. I feel for de Vries. Poor guy didn't even make it a full season after finally getting his seat.

[โ€“] Croutons@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

My exact thoughts. It let's them put him back in the car without the immediate risk to the primary team.

I'm not well versed in driver moves. If Danny somehow does amazing is it possible for him to move to RB and Sergio to move the AT this season? Like a driver trade?

[โ€“] f4te@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if danny does well he goes to RBR and Perez gets dropped. They wont put Perez at AT, no point, he's too old.

[โ€“] jalda@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Pรฉrez is six months younger than Ricciardo

[โ€“] gramathy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

RB contracts are โ€œyou drive for the organization, not a particular teamโ€ so they can basically do whatever with them between AT and RB.

Iโ€™m not sure that dropping them entirely out of a seat is part of that contractโ€ฆ

[โ€“] virtualras@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Wild, I figured they'd give Nyck til the end of the season.

Also, Danny Ricc getting put in the junior car is kinda depressing. Although I get it, not really any spot up at the top rn. Checo seems to be doing just barely good enough...

[โ€“] goldenjoe6@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is a shame. I guess junior car is a little bit less depressing than reserve driver tho haha

[โ€“] docmox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Agreed. A seat is better than no seat. But yea heโ€™s definitely going to have to prove himself again.

[โ€“] makeitra1n@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

as someone else already stated itโ€˜s really harsh. But pretty good for RBR/AT because they will see how good Ricciardo performs against Tsunoda. If Tsunoda outperforms Daniel he will also be dropped and Liam Lawson will drive the AT in 2024. Pretty solid strategy.

[โ€“] frippz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tsunado

Was that intentional? Because thatโ€™s genius! ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] makeitra1n@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Lmao no. was a typo!

[โ€“] goldenjoe6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thatโ€™s a good point point. Should add a little bit of excitement for the second half of the calendar.

[โ€“] darganon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think the only reason Checo is still there is he isn't wrecking the cars, just costing them points, which are kind of like monopoly money to them at this point.

[โ€“] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what a bang to start silly season with

[โ€“] Elegast@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm going to hold any opinion until we more than just a tweet lmao. Don't trust anything during silly season.

[โ€“] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Posted and confirmed on the F1 website now. Ricciardo is in.

[โ€“] Elegast@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

oh well shit. cheers

[โ€“] lelelelelele@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I thought they would at least wait until the summer break
