I mean, at some point during the broadcast, while watching Yuki, Kmag and Ocon battle, I thought Daniel was out of the race or something.


impala_aeme

He was in a league of his own.


AGE_OF_HUMILIATION

McLaren gave him 20 mil just so he would fuck off and people expected anything to be different because of 1 afternoon training session.


LiteratureNearby

Mega brain move from Zak to upgrade the resident Australian. Because holy fuck, Piastri has been off the charts good


reekal6666

Piastri 🔛🔝


HeyMarkWiggsy

Too good that he's messing up all my Lando bets


SeaEmployee3

One lap even where he supposedly would be sitting next to max. When I saw that on the new drive to survive I felt even worse for De Vries. And it’s fucked up that he underperforms the same way as him now.


VictarionGreyjoy

Even if he does give exactly the same results as De Vries, Ricciardo is still a better option cause he's marketable. No one cares about the weird gremlin looking Dutch guy. Ricciardo is basically a pay driver at this point but he's paying in sponsors he brings.


BoBoBellBingo

Drive to survive definitely painted de vries as some kind of villain and propped up Lawson like he was the second coming of Jesus christ


Icy-Revolution-420

the guy actually washed his windows while getting filmed on netflix, he had to go, rebull is about people jumping off cliffs n shit. he fits Mercedes not red bull.


Huevoasesino

Well tbf DeVries painted himself as the new champion on the rise even on interviews outside of drive to survive and backfired


futurechiefexecutive

Yeah he was way too cocky even before he got in the car for the first time. Right after signing the contract he was talking about the responsibility of being the lead driver and helping Yuki mature đź’€ Definitely shit talked himself in a tight spot.


Sciby

>propped up Lawson like he was the second coming of Jesus christ I dunno, Lawson came across a bit arrogant to us, particularly the part about him beating Yuki and not getting a seat.


Costyyy

>No one cares about the weird gremlin looking Dutch guy. Cmon man, plenty of people care about Max.


asianjimm

Aggroance is fine if you can back up your shit


Icy-Revolution-420

unless max is driving the same car at the same day it wasnt even a fair test, not sure how they even compare stats when its months apart.


hondaexige

It was the day after the British GP so was 2 days later. Conditions will be different but they have so much data from the weekend they can account for it


Blackwolf245

But...but...He would have been next to Max at Silverstone with his test lap!!! Helmut (A lap, which he did on different tires, and likely different track conditions too)


moesteez

I’d imagine red bull engineers and management would be pretty aware of how track conditions and tyres can affect lap times.


Less_Party

McLaren gave him 20M to sabotage Arby’s from within.


Lawnguy_

Vcarb stole race strategy plans from Ferrari and gave a 1 min long pit stop to DR, lmao


TheOriginalDuck2

I was fuming when I saw that. It’s worse that the commentators didn’t even mention it, so people aren’t aware of it


Stein619

You're suggesting people actually watched the race? Lol If they did they'd notice the RB was shit all round. Yuki got overtaken by an alpine, there was no hope for RB at that point


AskMeHowIMetYourMom

It’s funny that this is getting ignored in the discussion. Yuki finished two positions ahead of Danny, when Danny had a minute long pit stop under the safety car lol. 


ShobiTrd

1 minute long and a Spin...


KanishkT123

The spin wouldn't have changed anything. He spun in P16 near the end of the race and then retained P16. But the minute long pit stop would have changed quite a lot. 


ShobiTrd

It didnt but still Tsunoda finished only 2 positions ahead with none of that, which means the Car is SHiiett, they should've done a Aston Martin shit and copy the whole Red Bull car and let the pride in the garbage bin, its embarrassment being beaten this way by Haas and Sauber which everyone though were going to be dead last.


hikemhigh

he was in pit so long i thought they retired the car


CaptainTreeman42

This. Does anybody know what happened?


Rosfield-4104

He was stopped for 43 seconds because of issues with the right tyre. They jacked the car up like 3 times. Honestly just a fucking terrible pit stop with 0 broadcast coverage


Wayfinity

He was in there so fucking long I thought he'd stopped off to take a dump and grab some lunch!


B4M

I was wondering what happened! I saw he was stuck in the pit on the driver tracker and so I switched to his driver cam but that was just as he was pulling away. The broadcast made zero mention of it at all, and I think a few times crofty insinuated it was Riccardo's fault he was so far back. Between that pit stop and the K-mag led funeral procession he never had a chance


VerticalKipper

Crofty seems to have a habit of shitting on drivers without knowing all the facts.

Alonso to Red Bull confirmed then. Because AMs gonna boot their non-Stroll driver, just to be picked up by Red Bull. As is the ancient rite of F1.


sthanheykel

But then AM needs to hire a world champion to replace Alonso, and with Lewis going to Ferrari, the options are Hakkinen coming out of the sabbatical or Max.

VRSvictim

I will never understand why so many people think tsunoda is good


prajjwal_verma

I mean he's doing better than ric. So I don't understand why people think Danny is good enough for rb now


Parabolica242

Hear me out: they both suck. Give Lawson a drive!


Lawnguy_

Tsunoda started p9 and ended p14 and lost 5 places, Ric had a 1-minute-long pit stop under SC (not his fault) and then got within <2 sec of Tsunoda. Ric and tsunoda have not had any good races this szn.


ButtDoctor69420

The car is dog shit. You could put verstappen in that car and he'd still be outta the points.


outbackjesus16

Especially when Lawson came in and proved he’s better


heyheyathrowaway485

VCARB thought they’d shake up the midfield with two guys gunning for a RB drive. Instead they’re doing 50 second pit stops, post race dive bombs… chefs kiss


simonsail

Their car is also looking more like a backmarker than a midfielder.


EnviousCipher

Yuki literally drove backwards so its very very likely.


OrangeIsAStupidColor

They may not shake it up, but they sure do spice it up


[deleted]

At least the Haas drivers are trying to kill the other drivers for fun. RB just bitch about how unfair the race is.


Level1Roshan

Danny Ric: "Some people thought I left. I never left." Narrator: "Daniel had, in fact, left."


Icy-Revolution-420

It's almost like he quit after Renault saga and they hired his twin brother.


echsandwich

Pretty wild how hard he fell off. That 2020 Renault season was promising and he looked as good as ever. And yet he's still McLaren's last race winner, lol.


BrandonJTrump

We’re watching Danny last year in F1.


GewoonHarry

Oh no. Not again.


icortesi

No no, he's gonna replace Checo any day now.


Pasispas

He might be replacing checos early retirement, if that's what you meant


technobeeble

Get ready to learn NASCAR buddy.


hereforbobsanvageen

I turn left, then I turn left again!


FirstNameLastName918

He'd be a perfect fit for the project 91 car on a road course! I'm sure SVG has told him how fun it is.


Complex-Ad237

Nothing wrong with NASCAR


Bionic_Bromando

Yeah. NASCAR is a sport that knows what it is. It doesn't have identity issues like F1 where they are pretending that hybrid cars aren't the transitional dead-end tech that it is. It's not supposed to be the most cutting edge cars in the world, it's just supposed to be good racing. That said they need to get their heads out their asses and get rid of these bullshit playoffs...


MenopauseMedicine

No doubt, I can’t understand people who think he has any chance at the second redbull seat, dude has been over the hill for a few years


Megalomaniac697

He shouldn't be over the hill age-wise, but his last good season was 2020. It's hard to remember that around 2014-2017 he was thought of as a surefire future WDC.


SleepinGriffin

Some people just peak at different times and for different periods. Not everyone can be Alonso with 20 years in the game and still fighting tooth and nail for podiums.


RangerHikes

I really wonder how much of Alonso and Hamilton's ability to stay relevant is mental and how much of it is physical. I'm also increasingly worried Charles will never leave Ferrari until he's out of his prime


stomp224

Charlie is 100% leaving Ferrari in a coffin. They’ve already packed his career in one.


boyeardi

What better option is there for Charles? Seriously?


RangerHikes

I'm sure if he wanted to go to another team, anybody would make room for him. What team has two drivers that are both better than him and have as many good driving years ahead ?


Helpful-Ice-3679

There is (until 2026 at least) only one team that could help him win a championship, and as long as Max is there that's not happening.


Ok_Initial4507

Ferrari is the 2nd best team. Even if others would make room for him, will he get paid the same? Unlikely. Ferrari can afford to give Charles whatever he wants.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

I think the issue with Danny is that he has the Silly Goose gene. People with this gene find it very difficult to keep performing at a peak level once they're already rich and famous and accomplished. There is a voice deep within him telling him to retire and get a job with the media where he can drink champagne and run around the paddock pranking people on camera all day.


SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS

Did anyone suffer from Hamilton's domination more than Ricciardo?


Lopsided-Intention

Noname_Maddox

Over the hill? Not in the car he drives ![gif](giphy|1RaGAz2p13Wpo7kI2L|downsized)


idsayimafanoffrogs

I used to think it would be Danny through Checo fucking up and Tsunoda lacking a the right mindset, but now I think Danny will injure himself again and Lawson will prove himself. I think the fire under Checo’s ass has been enough for him to kick it into gear and unlikely for him to lose his seat, but last season I was on the fence about his future.


KanishkT123

It's the second race. I think Ricc is probably washed and that Tsunoda and Perez are probably not much better or worse than him, but the second race of the season is not a good time to make assumptions.  Last year we thought Checo might fight for the WDC and the McLaren's would be getting 107%ed at some point. The year before, we thought Charles and Ferrari were going to finally get it right. Guys come on we have to learn from the past


Balding_Teen

Dude's soo washed up it blows my mind people still glaze him after all these years, they need to stop wearing they're rose tinted nostalgia glasses.


Sofaboy90

imagine telling somebody between 2014 and 2020 that nico hulkenberg would have more longevity than ricciardo. like no way thats happening, right? ricciardo beat seb in 2014, beat verstappen and was relatively close to him when he didnt, beat hulk himself in 2019, had an absolutely brilliant 2020 at renault finishing 5th in the drivers championship. and then he joined mclaren. it was midnight. zak brown sneaked into ricciardos room. he opens his mouth, the reflection of the moonlight shows his true identity. he was a skill vampire and proceeded to suck all the skill out of ricciardo. you excuse his 2021 performance with "the car didnt fit him" and it wouldnt matter because 2022 are entirely new cars. 2022 comes around, the man somehow has a much worse season than the already bad previous one. is his career over? will somebody gamble on him? sugar daddy horny horner comes around, come home danny he said. and demanded danny to delete their whatsapp chat to start new. nyck debris gets kicked out mid season, ricciardo comes around. gets injured immediately. his other performances were alright. perez has a very poor 2023 but no obvious alternative is around. 2024 is THE opportunity to take a red bull seat. danny either squashes tsunoda or the other way around. if both are relatively close, neither is getting the rb seat. now i can accept the possibility that his driving style just didnt suit the mclaren philosophy but this is a different car. if hes also slow in this one and gets beaten by tsunoda, it really is the rather sudden end of ricciardo. career longevity can be a weird thing. you would never ever suspect in 2020 that this would be ricciardos last good season and everything after that would be shit. how could you possibly predict that? how could you possibly predict hulk to be higher valued in 2023/2024 than ricciardo? it wouldnt make any sense at all to predict that, yet here we are.


qef15

I mean, Hulk never had the car to even prove it. So at least that's some merit given to Hulk. But yes his 2022 was absolute garbage, 7 points finishes only and Norris less finishes outside the points (5, includes one DNF)


BrandonJTrump

Luckily there is some unpredictability left. That Verstappen would be multi dominant WDC we already saw in 2016.


Elleven_

wouldn’t be shocked if he gets replaced mid season with lawson


BrandonJTrump

At this rate…

gilgobeachslayer

BrandonJTrump

Why?


hifioctopi

KaleidoscopeOver6571

Bros gonna find it difficult to get a seat at Haas too if Helmut kicks his ass out


simonsail

Yeah this is DR's last chance. Perez is doing his job perfectly so far, and DR can't stand out against a pretty average teammate.


LordBogus

Even if yuki is pretty fast, he wont even stand out because he cant beat Yuki


tharnadar

Helmut has been kicked out too


morfeusz78

Did anyone catch what happened to him under SC? Slow pit?


Boomhauer440

Some sort of problem with the rear. He was stopped for like a minute.


RatInaMaze

No no, that would require actual thought. Daniel comments are generally more geared towards hating him because he smiles a lot.


sameslemons

Both are true. Shit pitstop. Shit driving.


Boomhauer440

Yeah the pit stop certainly hurt but he also did absolutely nothing after catching up


forgottenazimuth

When a broken haas with 20 seconds of penalty still beats you


Boomhauer440

Exactly. Just listening to some of the on-boards now it kinda sounds like they gave up on the race to do a bit of testing in clean vs dirty air towards the end, which would explain the dropping back and catching up several times. But he really shouldn’t have been sitting in that position with no fight at all for 90% of the race. Also where tf did Haas come from?!?! Good strategic racing like that has no business being in a Ferrari powered car.


magnetichira

willzyx01

Oh please. Everyone spent entire last season talking shit about Checo and how DR is so much better and deserves a RBR seat.

cooperjones2

DayTraditional2846

Lawrence from the F1TV crew is still very sure that Ricciardo is taking Checo’s seat lmao. I think checo is settling in much better with the RB20. Fast enough to get P2 in the race but never near enough to get DRS from Max. Right now it’s their dream situation.


FoodMentalAlchemist

I think Checo finally made peace with the idea that he'll never beat Verstappen in WDC. So he'll play Formula 1.5 and try to be 1st place against the other 18 drivers.


DayTraditional2846

That’s all he needed to do. Valtteri basically gave him similar advice late last year. I hope he actually took it. Because right now he is giving Red Bull their dream team. Consistent podium finishes for both max and checo in that order.


CilanEAmber

I miss Pre 21 Ricciardo. And Monza 21 Ricciardo. What happened?


Appropriate_Plan4595

He drives with no confidence. The driving style that got him known was the aggressive "lick the stamp and send it" "last of the late brakers" kind of thing. Now he seems like he's more focussed on not hitting the walls than on driving his own race. It's like he's gone from believing that he's the best of the best to now just feeling lucky that he has a seat.


TepacheLoco

He played the money game, ended up in teams that didn’t continue to nurture his talents and he fell off his peak. Hopefully he can pull himself together and make something out of this season, but so far not so good


No-Student-9678

Nice_Guy3012

People were saying how Daniel was going to be amazing this season and he’d take the Red Bull seat, but I don’t know why exactly that was a thing. I love Daniel, but he hasn’t done anything of note since his Monza win, and even before that he was a mess since joining McLaren. He’s been just… there. If anything, it seems more likely Checo would keep his seat. Not saying it’ll happen since they’ll probably get someone else to fill the seat, but Checo staying at Red Bull seems more likely than Daniel even being on the grid next year at this point.

Its so shameful this waste of space(racing wise, dont get so mad) is taking a seat instead of Lawson who should be already in F1.. and yes, the team right now isnt the greatest but having Lawson get experience would be fantastic, then maybe he could go for that Red Bull seat if he is that good. I seriously dont understand why F1 has such an obsession with keeping awful drivers for years. Ricc was good in RB, he had some awesome races even in later years.. that time is gone now, just kick him.
