going to lawson to replace perez makes no sense... not enough experience at the pointy end of the field.. would be no different to perez in my opinion. Big risk in a tight race. Needs a strong runner to take points off mclaren, ferrari and merc drivers to protect maxs championship and constructors. Promoting Yuki is risky. He is too bad tempered, tempestous, makes rash decision, prone to ranting and raving and just loses his cool. Racing against max will cause A LOT Of issues. Especially in a tight championship. Promoting danni ric makes the most sense. Danni ric has experience against max. He is in a different stage of his life. He will help the team bag points and podiums and help keep ferrari mclaren and merc at bay. In the right car and right team danny ric will rebuild his confidence. He has proven at mclaren he can drive and win and he's bagged some good positions this year in a dog of a car in the VCARB RB. I think he is the safer bet. Get him in there for the remaining 6 months. Evaluate and then decided on 2025 line up

Are you sure is Checo's performance the one that is far below expectations? What about the terrible job Bird is doing, the atrocious set ups by his garage? It had to be European F1 news to be pushing this old narrative, Daniel performance is way way far below of the expectations. Go look for Juan Pablo Montoya's comments on the set up of the cars, go take a good look at the onboards and telemetry. Just do 5 minutes of real research and stop echoing this old narrative that no one believes...well unless they don't know anything about F1.

*Talking about the Red Bull team, Juan Pablo Montoya said:* “One thing about the Austrian Grand Prix when I was watching, is *the difference in the balance of Checo’s [Perez] car and Max’s [Verstappen] car, that surprised me.* If you see Checo’s car and you see Max’s car in the corners, *Max’s car completes the corners and in Checo’s car it is impossible to go faster.* Checo’s car was a little bit like Fernando’s [Alonso] car, he made the corners and at the same time at the end of the corners, *the car didn’t turn. He had to slow down because he was running out of track and Max’s car completed the corner,* so it’s an interesting topic because it could be an issue that the setup was compromised in some way. Or one doesn’t know internally what is there because Red Bull has not really criticised Checo at all. Yes, he lacked speed in the race and everything but *if you look at the balance of the car in qualifying and the balance of Max’s car, they are two very different cars.”*

@@robbyjai Ricciardo? The one who failed in 2 generations of McLaren cars and is now being beaten by a green Yuki in the RB second grade team of Vcarb? How is his performance a guarantee? If RB want performance out of Perez, they need to stop capping his performances, which is something Montoya noticed with an onboard. *Talking about the Red Bull team, Juan Pablo Montoya said:* “One thing about the Austrian Grand Prix when I was watching, is *the difference in the balance of Checo’s [Perez] car and Max’s [Verstappen] car, that surprised me.* If you see Checo’s car and you see Max’s car in the corners, *Max’s car completes the corners and in Checo’s car it is impossible to go faster.* Checo’s car was a little bit like Fernando’s [Alonso] car, he made the corners and at the same time at the end of the corners, *the car didn’t turn.

Putting Perez as a reserve driver makes the most sense based off of his recent performances. Tho Sainz is performing better than Ric but if RB doesn’t want a challenger going with Ric is a good idea

Yeah, it all depends on Checo if he can score points in these next two races before the summer break. Really hope he can but it all goes down with him being back to his form as it was early on in the season

Do we care?

@@M3m3l0rd12given his performances, I won’t be shocked if they terminate his new contract.

More importantly i guess Red Bull should stop testing only with Perez and give him full support on his driving style and team, Hugh Bird is an asshole he should be replaced.

Sadly true, he deserves the seat though

Riccardo is a has been he doesn't deserve the seat

Why… just why? Yuki should get a chance, why would RB do this to him he’s been so eager

NO GOD, PLEASE NO! Ricciardo and Perez must know some serious secrets about Horner's life... There is no other reason that Red Bull still gives those guys a seat in Formula 1. Hulkenberg in a HAAS, in the last TWO races, scored more points than Perez in the last SIX races! Someone FIRE Perez, for God's sake! Ricciardo, in the past 4 seasons, lost to his teammate! 2 yeas in the McLaren, and the past 2 years in AlphaTauri... Checo and Ricciardo are RIDICULOUS!

@@rama-n-i it’s been Honda tradition to always employed a Japanese driver in their engine powered cars. He is already in the RB Visa team. That’s where the obligation ends. Honda is leaving Red Bull in 2026 and they don’t want to employ Yuki once the contract is expired. Therefore Yuki will certainly leave F1 by the end of 2025.

He was the test driver for Max... In that sense he is doing a great job.. But the pressure that other teams are putting on RedBull in the constructors championship is having to force the isssue.. I suspect if that was not the case then they would be happy..

He wasn't tho

​@@steve11211 another braindead lulu fan

Your mom and I were talking about your education last night

100%

I agree

and perhaps dragged out for his home race in Mexico

EXACTLY

Yuki literally proved he's a better driver idk why people are pushing for Ricardo

That’s Daniel

@@LoganLynch12 Yup Even Carlos Sainz while a great driver is not a good match.

@@gmanneod8085 thats true

@@LoganLynch12 just abt to say that.

Carlos would be the perfect fit

Riccciardo does like his car in a similar setup and has even complained about it in the past. Everyone loves the honey badger. Boot Perez to the 2ndary team at half time. It's only 1/2 a season.

@@FredB2332 RB is controlling the car performance of that second RB, then blaming Perez for it. I do not understand why it would make sense for them. *Talking about the Red Bull team, Juan Pablo Montoya said:* “One thing about the Austrian Grand Prix when I was watching, is *the difference in the balance of Checo’s [Perez] car and Max’s [Verstappen] car, that surprised me.* If you see Checo’s car and you see Max’s car in the corners, *Max’s car completes the corners and in Checo’s car it is impossible to go faster.* Checo’s car was a little bit like Fernando’s [Alonso] car, he made the corners and at the same time at the end of the corners, *the car didn’t turn.

@Legorreta.M.D oh, I agree. That's what I'm saying. They have the same chassis, which is catered to working for Max. So since Perez likes an understeer heavy car, they are killing the speed of an oversteer heavy platform to better match what Perez is looking for in driving dynamics. With Ricciardo, his setup preferences better match up with Max's, and therefore, the car's underlying dynamics. That'll make the car quicker. I don't think it's that Perez is an awful drive, but it's basically the same thing as Ricciardo's issues at McLaren. Wrong driver for that specific car.

Possibly, but saying Perez doesn't like the car setup completely ignores last season.

jfc dream on... Ricciardo is toast

@@petrol11he was on course to beat verstappen 3/3 until his unreliability.

@@GoldRichnessthat was way back then. What about last 3 years

he can't even beat Yuki , ricciardo is finished

Un-deserving, but Checo is the same. except for coin. Like Kamui Kobayashi Yuki deserves a chance and a long career to see where he goes. Seems that he (Yuki ) will be denied as Kobayashi was.

Yuki's only there because of Honda, when they're gone he'll follow. He wont find himself in the Redbull...

@@tuk-tukteelak3302he is very particular about the car he drives has it been a coincidence that science McLaren’s all of the c are he has driven haven been not to his liking. The redbull suits his driving style a nd he would perform on a much more consistent basis to Perez

Danny should have never left. You really think it would change if he goes back? Max wasn't a champion back then. Danny was a threat back when he was redbull. Now Max is top driver of redbull and the grid. Danny will either get the boot or jump ship again.

I will not be a fan of Red Bull any longer if they do that except Max

How many chances do you give him. He’s a weak and yesterdays news, not tomorrows. He walked away for months… No metal

Nah, Ricciardo is garbage just like Perez. The only one who deserves that sit is Yuki

Yuki is the future Perez and Mr Ed are finished

Sorry but I don’t feel that Ricciardo deserves the seat, I would much rather just see Lawson there. Yuki too, but I don’t know if they would kove him

This

Yuki is not that good hes getting outperformed buy ricc in some races and remember ricc is waaay past his prime inagine what he will do to yuki if he was in his prime ricc deserve that final shoot to redeem himself as a driver and prove to the world that each driver can release his potential if they found their style in the car like ricc in red bull they suit each other well i guaranteed it he will be successful

I know…no one’s talking about ham poor performance, leclerc last 4 race result and his form. It’s that British media stoking their hatred at Perez and Redbull, bcoz they remember Perez held ham in Abu Dhabi 21. They’re still holding the grudge

crazy how F1 doesn't encourage ambition you would think everybody wants to be #1

Na The other way around. You can see yuki respects max when they do the fun challenges for redbull.

yeah sure mate😂

How stupid assumption is this. VCARB always tried to suit his style so far

Yeah, but that's a shit ton of pressure on Lawson straight up.

If it wasn't Redbull this would be the smarter choice but I think he needs a little more time in VCARB.

@danielcoope3784 Lawson is the only sensible conclusion, all things considered!

Lawson did better than Danny ric last year. And he is capable and adaptable. He is a much better idea

@@Legorreta.M.D wouldnt say he failed in 2021... plus he is heting beaten but the gap is being blown out of proportion.

@@finnchristensen6786 yes, but also who is beating Ricciardo? Ricciardo left RB when he felt the team was revolving around Verstappen and Verstappen was catching up. He did very well in Renault, then got royally beaten in McLaren which treats both drivers well as we saw with Sainz. Then got beaten again in a second generation of McLaren, then moved to αT and got beaten by a Yuki that was destroyed by Gasly and made look inconsistent and highly emotional. It is not a good look for Ricciardo. Perez is being beaten by what many consider to be a generational talent in a team that leaves the second driver out to dry and before that he had the longest streak of beating his teammate in F1. The optics in my opinion are pretty bad for Ricciardo

@@notreiiu_ is it that loud?

@@FormulaNewsToday yea, might just be me with bad ears though

We will reduce it slightly, thanks for your feedback!

Ricciardo cant even outpeform Yuki (who is newer to F1) Consistently, dude is washed, Yuki deserves the RedBull seat and Lawson should replace Danny

Because he is negotiating with Toto

tsunoda is never going for the senior team because he is only there for his partnership with honda, when redbull leaves honda which is expected to happen tsunoda is leaving too
