Tough for Nyck but F1 is a ruthless sport. At 28, Nyck is a seasoned driver and has likely shown what he is capable of and is unlikely to develop much further. I donโt see a reason for keeping him in that seat any longer.

So Danny Ric back in to fight with Tsunoda and show if he has what it takes. Next year they get Lawson into the AT and whoever from the 2 got the better hang of it replaces Perez at RB? I just don't know if any of the 2 would want to replace Perez, whoever goes to that seat is clearly a n2 driver with no shot at challenging Max and would quickly be stopped on their tracks if they tried.
I just donโt think anyone can compete with Max in that car, maybe ham or another top driver. They seeming were gonna let Checo fight with max, but then he shit the bed in Qualifying the past 5-6 races so doesnโt have a chance anymore, or are we saying RB has done it on purpose?! But do agree teams donโt want two number 1 drivers, after 2016 for merc, Baku and, way back, Turkey for RB, teams want a solid #1 and a competitive #2
Damn Red Bull is brutal
Not even waiting till the summer break? Wow
We went from somebody replacing de Vries next year, to him being replaced after the summer brake to this lmao. Dr. Marko doesn't play around
I think RB leadership are concerned with Perez performances and so the timetable for finding a replacement had to be accelerated. This move gets them some good data on both Danny Ric and Yuki since they have sim comparisons of DR with Max and Checo now.
It's been clear for a while that NdV does not have a future in Red Bull so no point in wasting time on him, as harsh as it sounds.
Helmut Marko strikes again! Now, who gets his seat? Lawson or Ricciardo?
According to Erik van Haren, it's Ricciardo.
