Don't underperform in a team that Helmut Marko controls :D This is gonna be interesting for both Danny and Yuki. If Danny is shit again then that's likely his F1 days numbered. And if Yuki doesn't outperform a Driver with two horrible seasons and a half one out of practice, that's not a great look either.

[–] WhiteWolf@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Not only for Danny and Yuki. For Checo as well. They’ve put a lot of pressure on Perez as well with their driver on loan construction and statements about his excellent on front times. Timing otherwise is a bit strange.

[–] BobKerman3999@feddit.it 5 points 1 year ago

But Danny was beating consistently a 4-times wdc so...

[–] Zinc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Makes sense to get some data on Ricciardo vs Tsunoda if they are thinking about replacing Perez.

[–] wes@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

F1 on Twitter is brutal imo, 12 tweets about that Daniël is back. Only in the “breaking tweet” mentioning he is replacing Nyck. I feel bad for Nyck.

[–] Nilz@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Even on the announcement on Formula 1 they said one sentence that Nyck was being replaced and the entire rest of the article his name wasn't even mentioned anymore.

[–] Stylus_XL@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As ruthless as Red Bull can be, I didn't think this would actually happen. AT doesn't seem to be enough of a priority for RB anymore to get this panicky about poor driver performance. Maybe this is less about Nyck underperforming at AT and more about freeing up a seat to start auditioning replacements for Perez.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Helmut has been very vocal lately about his desire to fix AT so it’s not a shitbox at the back of the grid with the haas

[–] june@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn’t even make it the whole season. God damn.

Crossing my fingers for Danny and worried about Checo.

[–] wes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It really starts to feel like Checo is a glorified seat warmer for Ricci.

[–] june@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Checo has these moments of brilliance, and usually under the biggest pressure. But he just doesn’t have the consistency he needs to be WDC. I know that the comparison is a tall one, but being partnered with a guy like Max who’s at his peak really highlights all of Checo’s flaws.

If Checo was the lead driver and Max wasn’t in the game, I think Checo could take WDC this year, but it would be a hard fought win, nothing like this run away dominance we’re seeing with Max.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Hopefully the magic is back and we can get him in the Bull next year! If he at least beats Yuki and scores some points I feel like Checo is going to shit house sized bricks

[–] regal@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Checo as Ralph Wiggum: I'm in danger

[–] NerfHerder@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I expected this to occur but no in the middle of a season.

[–] regul@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Marko gonna Marko

[–] krische@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ricciardo is the GOAT of silly season.

[–] __lb__@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

I did not expect Danny to step in halfway the season. I did not see that coming.

[–] godolphins13@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is fun. Gotta feel for NDV but he just did not even show flashes.

[–] ProffessionalAmateur@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The car is total shite, we saw what he could do in a Williams and that car is better than the AT this yea. I think it's harsh but I guess that's F1

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

But what did he actually do in the Williams? He drove a clean race on a track with 7(?) real corners in a car that naturally would have performed well at the track. It was a great job for just getting in the car, but it didn’t show anything special.

[–] Haldum96@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This seems like a way to see who can replace Checo if he continues this awful run of form. I don't see Yuki as deserving of a top seat, so Ric has a golden opportunity to get back into a top car if he performs well.

[–] Thade780@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just got the notification on my phone from the F1 app. For a second I thought he was replacing Perez, before I expanded it.

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They need to find out whether to replace Checo with Ricciardo or Tsunoda.

[–] t0fr@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Just as McLaren is really starting to perform

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Dannys on the bread lately, man must be drowning in money
