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.
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.
Latifi and Mazepin were both pay drivers. Likely, sponsors and money were tied to their seats.
Well, Maz being dropped had serious financial strings attached. And what would a replacement driver have done, had a slightly faster 20th place pace?
And the only reason he was dropped was because of Russia and they didn't want a direct link from Haas to them.
Right. He would have been there again, paying his way to the bottom
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.
