The decision of Helmut Marko di fire Nick De Vries to replace it with Daniel Ricciardo He did not do so much fuss. This is because the Austrian team has always been used to these sudden changes. Let's remember for example the relegation of Pierre Gasly in favour of Alexander albon in season 2019. The reasons are the same: poor results. In the end, therefore, even if thehoney badger It wasn't part of the plan of Red Bull, Marko has seen enough forced to get rid of De Vries given his performances not up to par.
Liberty Media wants entertainment and Ricciardo is the starting point
Obviously, the presence of a driver like Ricciardo means make sure show on the track. When the machine allows it, we know its qualities well in the process overtaking. And it just seems like this quality she didn't leave in this period out of the world of racing. In fact, the Australian was fundamental to the simulator and, furthermore, after the race weekend a Silverstone, toured the same circuit for i Pirelli tests. Data in hand, Daniel arrived alone 7 tenths from this year's pole. The car is the same, the RB19, and this time would have even earned him the P8 for the race.
And Perez takes a risk
Of all this, Sergio Perez it has to stay very careful. Checo's results, in these latest releases, they weren't great. Mexican is from 5 consecutive eliminations before Q3. And there were no comebacks as smooth as Max's. The car is always the same, which means that it is the driver who not feeling well. If Perez's performances were to remain fluctuating and Ricciardo should prove himself molto veloce, the seat next to Verstappen in 2024 could be in the balance.
Furthermore, if the dominance of the Milton Keynes team were to remain so, it will need someone capable of keep up with SuperMax. It is precisely this – based on what has been gathered from Formula1a.one – what on which Liberty Medium pushes, that is, having a spectacle not only from the point of view bureaucratic with various regulatory changes, but above all sports. Obviously, replicate the vintage 2021 it will be practically impossible, but trying to get close to that seems like doable. With two champions like Ricciardo and Verstappen competing for the title it could provide a spectacle never seen before.
Red Bull also wants the show, so it dreams of a dream team
Surely, winning with so much ease as demonstrated by Red Bull this year must be boring too for the team itself. For this reason, Helmut and Marko e Christian horner they dream of a duo formed by two diamond tips: one would obviously be the two-time Dutch world champion, and the other one of those retained the two best talents on the grid. Well, always based on what he says Julian Duchess of Formu1a.uno, it seems that contacts have been initiated with Lando Norris e Charles Leclerc for 2025. If the British could be let go by McLaren, for the Monegasque the road will certainly be longer and more tortuous. The same Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur wanted to put the renewal of Carlos Sainz to focus entirely on Charles's. Be careful though, because it looks like Carlos he didn't take it very well.
