Is it possible this is a test run for DR to see if he's fit to replace Perez next season, or is that a long shot? What's Red Bull's upside for putting him at AT for half a season?
said this in another thread but I think this is more of a test for Yuki, if he beats RIC then Yuki replaces Perez next year
For sure, that would make sense too.
The AT car is definitely not on par with RB. Perez should be 1st or 2nd this whole season barring bad luck or strategy.
Yes but by that logic no driver from any backmarker or midfield team (Russell, Leclerc, Bottas...) would ever have made it to a top team. You have to look at their performance in relation to their teammate/immediate competitors, not the overall standings.
It sure looks like it… although I thought they gave him time till the summer break…
Me too.. I feel for de Vries. Poor guy didn't even make it a full season after finally getting his seat.
Points. The more points you score, the more money you receive from F1. Danny is ATs best shot at eking out a few more points for the remainder of the season.
My exact thoughts. It let's them put him back in the car without the immediate risk to the primary team.
I'm not well versed in driver moves. If Danny somehow does amazing is it possible for him to move to RB and Sergio to move the AT this season? Like a driver trade?
if danny does well he goes to RBR and Perez gets dropped. They wont put Perez at AT, no point, he's too old.
Pérez is six months younger than Ricciardo
RB contracts are “you drive for the organization, not a particular team” so they can basically do whatever with them between AT and RB.
I’m not sure that dropping them entirely out of a seat is part of that contract…
