In his first proper run on tires that were comparable, […] on what was probably his seventh lap of the day, would’ve put him on the front row of the grid.”

I just hope this stint will not be a repeat of the McLaren days for Ricciardo...

Don't forget that the track was already rubbered in from the Grand Prix week-end, so it might not have been fully representative of Daniel's true pace.

Just remember everyone, this means absolutely nothing

They’re comparing to quali times, which were in a dry/wet crossover and DR was driving the new tyres

We also don't know what his simulator times were like.

So should Checo start looking for a new day job?

I think whoever is better between Yuki and Daniel will be in the Red Bull next year.

[-] Ronno@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

To be honest, I don’t think Yuki is mature enough. His radios sound super stressed and he swears a lot. Albon couldn’t handle the pressure at RB and he was able to keep his cool. Yuki isn’t even keeping his cool at AT, therefore I don’t think Helmut would want him in the RB

[-] Samwizegamgi42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Totally agree yuki may not be mature enough, but part of why he swears so much, from my understanding, is he learned English at the track, growing up around racers in Europe so tends to swear more then the average English speaker

You think they’ll break Checo’s contract?

[-] Barbarian772@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I think hisbcontract is written like all their drivers in a way that they could easily put him into the Alpha Tauri
