![[Lawrence Barretto] Sources say Ricciardo was impressive in today's Pirelli tyre test with Red Bull, his first drive in 2023 machinery, and that his best lap would have been good enough for the front](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fc3064c7-0b35-476e-900a-71683f5cc170.png){kind=link}
So they put Danny in a red bull and turned him loose. Now they are putting him in an alpha tauri and expecting him to put up similar times?
This isn’t going to go well. I love Danny, I wish him the best, but I hope this all doesn’t make him look too silly in the end.
Although I love Danny Ric, I find this hard to believe. I believe he is far better than the McLaren stint made him look, but is he that good? Time will tell.
Ha was better than Vettel and good enough to battle a young and learning Verstappen. He’ll be good enough
We’ll see. Enough people were certain he’d wipe the floor with Lando, and look how that went.
Yes but he is also old now not much younger than vettel
Perez didn’t like that.
Sounds almost more like wishful thinking than rumors. But it would lead credence to the abrupt driver swap announced today.
If Daniel was able to drop in a car after being absent for like 9 months and put down competitive times; then I understand Red Bull not wanting to waste any time. Horner probably wants a relaxing summer break with next year’s lineup Locked in.
LETS GO!!!
Hmm if that’s true he would have been seriously ragging the car around on the limit, which I can’t believe RB would risk in a test session. Sounds like RB are leaking tall tales to the press to mount pressure on a certain driver.
Or simply the track conditions could have been very different
