I’m sure that beating Yuki is pre-requisite.

Assuming there is not a external reason (mechanical DNF, etc.) one beats the other, do you expect the Red Bull masters expect DR to beat Yuki in Hungary?
I would agree that overall, they have expectations that over the course of the remainder of 2023 he must beat Yuki to have a future in the organization. But I just wonder when and by how much they need him to outperform him. Does he get some level of "getting up to speed" after being out of a car. Richard |

However that is as far as my leniency goes. After that, it is counting towards his future, or lack thereof. No he had to go. The only question was when. |

It will look bad for Ricciardo if he can’t beat his own team mate and there’s every chance it could happen

Alternatively it might give a few more clues about just how much superiority the various Red Bulls had in the 2.4 V8 era.

I think DR has speed. What I wonder is why he had such a slump. Was it him not being able to sync with the the qualities of the cars he was driving, struggling with confidence issues after having the wind taken out of his sails, natural progression of some drivers slowing at some point in their career? Some or all of those? My personal opinion is that his peak performance may require a car that suits his style. And that he may suffer more than others if the car is not working well for him. If that is the case, he may significantly struggle in the AT. I am leaning toward him struggling against Yuki, but I would not put money down to back up that opinion. Which is why I think the next few races will be interested to watch from an AT perspective. Richard |

If DR can form a good relationship with his engineer, it may well be that the set up and development goes in a hitherto unrealized direction and DR is able to achieve far more from the car than either YT or NDV were able to achieve, in which case it would fully justify his time at AT. And if the direction is what Helmut Marko has stated could or would be, more aligned with RBR then DR could have a fruitful year at AT in 2024. All of that could propel the likelihood of DR taking the Perez seat at the end of Checo's contract. |

Is it me or is there something just not right with that likeness of DR? Like if you were to remove the other parts of the illustration and show me just the face and ask... "Who is this?" I can't imagine DR would be in my top 100 guesses.
I am getting excited for the Hungarian GP!! Richard |

When Mr Van Gisbergen smacks the NASCAR field in his second road race of the season at Indy on August 13th.. would that get him a test in an AlphaTauri?

He will be up to speed, but that last tiny bit which makes the difference needs familiarity and time to find. |
