[Erik van Haren] Nyck de Vries immediately sent away from AlphaTauri. Daniel Ricciardo will replace him in Hungary next week. (lemmy.world)

De Vries' adventure with the sister team of Red Bull has therefore only lasted ten races.

yuki about to win a 'lead driver' battle with two separate people in the same season

We'll see if Ricciardo really does still have it. I think Lawson was the better option. Yes he's currently competing in Super Formula but they did it before with Gasly in 2017. It makes more sense to me to try their strongest young driver.

RB almost has to give Lawson the second AT seat next year. He’s their best junior right now and if they can’t find him a seat it’s not going to be great

anyone ELI5 what lead to this? this team is at the bottom of the standings and I dont remember drivers just getting kicked out mid season

My guess is that Perez performances are worrying, so they need some data on Danny Ric in a car to get a handle on both him and Yuki in case Checo doesn't shape up and drastic action needs to be taken for next year.

If RB thinks other teams could catch up to them, they need a number 2 driver that can support Max at the front, and right now Checo isn't doing that.

It's been clear for a while that NdV has no future in RB anyway, so they're not losing much doing this.
