    Really looking forward to seeing how he performs this weekend, hoping he performs in line with all the hype surrounding his Sim work and test time in the Red Bull.

        If he doesn’t win in an absolutely dominating fashion at the Hungaroring we’ll know he’s washed out.

        Not to mention that his main complaint with the McLaren was corner entry and the AT has the same issue.

          And breaks, don’t forget the breaks…that Yuki describes in very colorful words last I remember…

          This will be interesting, but my bet is if he could not consistently put decent laps with a shitbox mclaran, changing to a shitbkx alpha won’t change a thing…

        I know, definitely managing my expectations cause of that. Will be interesting to see how he performs relative to Yuki at least.

          Yeah. I’ve been under the impression that Yuki has been driving exceptionally well for most parts of the season. Especially until recently, he’s been incredibly consistent.

    I hope he does well. It’s been really weird watching him go from Red Bull, Renault, McLaren and not really look that comfortable. I think he’d be good with Yuki

      That’s Ricciardo’s hide the pain smirk. He’s always smiling, even last year during and after the McLaren debacle.

    He looks so happy in that suit. It’s not the best team to be racing on, but he’s racing and he’s enjoying it.

    ♫ ♪ Ain’t nothin’ gonna to break my stride

    Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no ♪ ♫

    The vibe.

    Admittedly, the fact that AT are apparently unable to learn from their parent team is definitely going to slow him down.
