Why Daniel Ricciardo is suddenly a serious threat to Sergio Perez in F1

Daniel Ricciardo might be back to his best in Formula 1, and starting to show he could get a Red Bull Racing return after all.
Ricciardo was performing at a Red Bull level at the Mexican Grand Prix - literally. He qualified alongside Max Verstappen AND outpaced Sergio Perez, which is as much of a statement as it’s possible to make in an AlphaTauri.
ESPECIALLY as Ricciardo followed that up with a strong seventh place in the grand prix, running ahead of several faster cars for a lot of it and passing every test of his racecraft, tyre management and pace, while Perez completely imploded and wiped himself out at the first corner.
And this is about much more than a single result. It’s what made such a performance possible, the reasons to believe it’s sustainable, how much life it breathes into Ricciardo’s post-McLaren renaissance and the fact he looks like he really COULD be what Red Bull needs from Verstappen’s future team-mate.

This is how it's probably being lined up: - Riccardo is put in AlphaTauri to measure how good of a pairing he could potentially make with Verstappen, and is kept there for 2024. - Checo's contract ends in 2024. - Lawson showed he'd be a good fit in the AlphaTauri and proved himself. - If Checo loses his seat, upgrade Daniel to Red Bull and Liam to AlphaTauri so they have a solid "safe" lineup in both teams.

I'm a McLaren fan, and I love Lando and Daniel. I really wish Daniel could've gotten on top of the McLaren while he was there, because I wanted to see the two of them succeed together. I was pretty sure Daniel hadn't lost anything but was suffering from a bad paring of his style and the McLaren being crazy to drive. I had a feeling he was going to be pushing Yuki, but I didn't realize he was going to be matching and beating him this soon. I think Yuki was also feeling the pressure in Mexico, because the move he made was sloppy and optimistic that the other car would just magically get out of his way.

There was a marketing video from Red Bull when Dan Ric joined Red Bull (again). Horner mentioned that Ric picked up a lot of bad habits from his excursion. So they retrained him on the simulator. Now, I think the results shows. He is confident in an Alpha Tauri! That's not supposed to be a good car at least according to DeFries and Tsunoda. I think Tsunoda could still be around to satisfy the Honda relationship.

Whether the Danny Ric haters like it or not, the simple fact is that Ricciardo has beaten Verstappen in the same car more than any other teammate Verstappen has ever had, and when he was beaten by teammate Verstappen, & wasn’t let down by his RB breaking down, Ricciardo was almost always close behind. This is a feat that Gasly, Albon and Perez have all failed to replicate in the last 4 years since Ricciardo left on his own terms. This makes him one of the only Red Bull/ Torro Rosso/ Alpha Tauri drivers who hasn’t been let go because of poor performance. He has proven he deserves another chance in a top team like Red Bull. EDIT- For those who have commented that Max was young & inexperienced when he first joined Red Bull which is the only reason Daniel was faster, you seem to forget when Daniel joined RB, in his first season he regularly placed higher & actually hauled more points than his 4 time world champion teammate, Sebastian Vettel. How quickly you guys forget that.

Tsunoda and Perez are both in the hot seat. Ricciardo showed the AT might not be as awful to drive as expected, and given how Lawson was able to put a point on the board in just a few races mid-season, he's there or thereabouts with Yuki. Perez absolutely chucked any goodwill from his home race into the bin, but I'd argue Tsunoda is counting his lucky stars right now since Perez distracted the media from how Tsunoda binned it out of impatience while in a much needed points position for AT. On a weekend where Ricciardo was flying, that was the last thing he needed. I get it's not a popular opinion, but given the track record of the Red Bull organization, I'm certain this conversation is happening alongside the conversations about Perez.

@EngiocGames 7 ай бұрын

I totally agree. I don't dislike or hate either Yuki or Perez, but you can't deny that both drivers binned it on their own, and both drivers are consistently making silly mistakes. In my opinion, the only reason Perez is still there is they're trying to do the right thing and at least give him a chance at P2 in the championship, to remove him now does nothing other than guarantee he loses that P2. It makes no sense to remove Perez at this late stage, let him try to find some form and retain P2, then he might stand a chance of keeping his seat, if not he's a goner. Plus, as you said, the only thing really saving Yuki is that all the focus is on Perez, but Yuki is another driver who seems to consistently find ways to ruin his own race.

I've been surprised for much of this season how supportive Red Bull have been for Perez--one very public person notwithstanding (speaking of which--I notice he's been out of the public eye lately--curious). This is the same organization that ousted DeVries before mid-season, and has a track record of dumping underperformers without regret. I don't think Riccardo has the RBR #2 seat in the bag, but it's no coincidence he's driving for AlphaTauri. If he continues to look good this season, I can't imagine why they would choose to stick by Perez. This is not Perez bashing, but if RIcciardo is clearly the better option, you'd be pretty silly not to go with him. Max is Max, but neither RBR nor Max are unbeatable, and RBR really did get lucky that the car and Max were so consistent and dominant this season.

Throw the fact that Daniel out qualified checo in an AT and it seems that RBs decisions may be making themselves. Now one weekend doesn't make the decision a lock but the next three weeks could. If Daniel can perform at a similar level he did this weekend I think it makes a real good case for him in a RB next season, side benefit will be Liam getting a well deserved shot a year sooner.

Right? I think DR's performances out of the box in Silverstone for the test, Alpha Tauri in Hungary, then his first regular weekend post injury are really railroading RBR into a decision, especially when compared to Checo's performance over the same period. The one thing DR has always been is cool headed, measured, and usually a very clean racer. Combine his pace with those qualities and the story writes itself. Checo is the cork in the bottle and releasing him brings two better drivers into the equation. Liam at AT and DR at RBR.

The other thing is where he is at in his career. He will be happy to be NO 2 with Max and take wins as and when Max slips up, like Checo has, but on a more consistent basis.

Or continue to be patient and support Sergio in the hopes that he can be a consistent #2.

@breathofawareness7903 7 ай бұрын

@@XJohnnyXBravoX I think Red Bull this year was so dominant they could afford Sergio underperforming. But when the other teams close the performance gap and the whole field is closer together. They NEED a stronger second driver to secure the championship. I don't think anyone can beat Max right now.. The only people that would give him a good fight are Hamilton, Alonso and probably Leclerc. But if I were Red Bull, I would go for a Albon or a Ricciardo. I think they would make excellent second drivers. All they need is consistentcy and being close to Max. Nobody would expect them to beat him. As long as they can beat the rest. Obviously Checo is not up to the task. He is struggling to get second in a car that vastly superior to the rest of the field. Just look at how close Hamilton is to him in the championship. I think Checo is done. I would not let him drive past this season.

Unfortunately for him, Renault failed to deliver on their promises, the car simply wasn't good enough, and despite the name change, they are still not good enough. McLaren was clearly a car/driver compatibility issue, you'd think someone at this level would be able to adapt, but then again it's hard to break habits/muscle memory.

It's so refreshing to see a proper serious analysis. This covers it all. Speaks of Ricciardo "pre-Mclaren" form and not just "Red Bull days" (Renault days are so overlooked). Explains Ricciardo's driving style is not actually one of a "late breaker" and how important proper feedback from the drivers can be; Suggests the real problem at Mclaren was not the drivers but actually car design (imo, James Key); Also suggests that Daniel's driving style may make for a more proper pairing for Max than Checo; Highlights the importance of the most successful formula of commercial storytelling: the Hero Journey. There is no Carlos Slim that can pay the global effect of a fairytale ending for a very liked driver's struggles. That being said, I hope things keep turning alright for Daniel; If Checo is sacked, I hope he can find a car that better fits his style (same as what happened with Ricciardo); And I am very glad Mclaren got rid of its real problem: James Key. Now we have an historical outfit back in the front with two amazingly talented young drivers.
