Breaking News Red Bull: Farewell at the end of the season is now written and announced. Words cannot leave room for interpretation
He has obviously hoped, since he returned to drive a Formula One car, to be taken into consideration by the team at the best moment, numbers in hand. But apparently this will not be the case.
At Red Bull they have other ideas, other objectives. And they have decided to focus next year on the couple who have given the team the constructors’ title for several years. Not just Max Verstappen so, but also Sergio Perez who recently had his contract renewed. And Daniel is getting involved in all this Ricciardo, who accepted the offer of AlphaTauri (now RB), with the aim of ousting the Mexican driver in the hierarchies. Failed miserably. And apparently he could lose his current position too.
Ricciardo without a car, the news
What is practically Red Bull’s second team aims to be a young team, not only in the pits but also on the track. Words spoken by Helmut Marko who reiterated the concept in some recent statements, reported by -.it.
“Shareholders have made it clear that this is a junior team and we have to act accordingly. Daniel’s goal was to be considered for Red Bull if he had an exceptional performance. Now that seat is Perez’s, so the plan is no longer valid. We will have to introduce a young driver soon, and that would be Lawson“. The latter, when called upon, has admirably demonstrated that he is ready for the Circus, and together with Tsunoda would form a young and very well-matched pair. For Ricciardo, whose contract expires at the end of this season, there would be very few races left to show off and perhaps look for another agreement. Otherwise it could be over for him. We’ll see.
