[Will Buxton] If this does indeed go down, to me it screams of the wider play and that’s about putting pressure on Perez to sort himself out.

Jump

Yeah. Even with his current form, what's keeping Checo in that seat is the fact that there simply aren't any better alternatives. He's still good enough on Sundays to collect some points, enough to secure the WCC.

[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

We'll see. Enough people were certain he'd wipe the floor with Lando, and look how that went.

Scuderia AlphaTauri on Instagram: "Danny is back! 🍯

Jump

I think it's the other way around. If Danny has a stellar second half of the year, he might be considered for Checos seat next year. If not, then Checo will stay simply because he's bringing home enough points to secure WCC, and doesn't wreck the car. That is unless RB somehow snatches someone like Lando.

[Chris Medland] OFFICIAL: Daniel Ricciardo replaces Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri with immediate effect. Officially "on loan" from Red Bull

Jump

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.

Jump

I mean, sacrificing 21 led them leap Williams and AT in 22, and they have a genuinely decent car at the start of the 22 season. But as you say, Gene Haas unfortunately seems to be satisfied with the cars being little more than rolling billboards...
