      Perez needs to be replaced by literally any other driver. It’s almost like Red Bull are nervous of putting someone too competitive in the same car as Max.

        If the Red Bull cars stay dominant over the next few years, I’d love a competitive driver 2 to create the “Hamilton-Rosberg” situation not only for the drama but to potentially make the driver’s championship an actual race.

        Seems more like Max is clearly a cut above every other driver he’s driven against in the same car.

        We know Red Bull tried multiple times to get Lando in the car as well, they’re not afraid of fast drivers.

        Checo was just entirely overrated imo.

          Well Checo had been able to do the one thing Albon and Gasly couldn’t, which is consistently finish one or two places behind Max (in both quali and the race).

          That doesn’t seem to be happening anymore, for various reasons. It was enough to get drivers canned mid-season before, but with a car this dominant and the rest of the field much closer, they’re not under any sort of pressure when it comes to the WCC, so who knows.

            Checo also had a championship winning car every season with Red Bull.

            Albon and Gasly had a notoriously sensitive and tricky Red Bull to drive.

            For what it’s worth the gap between Max and Checo as teammates has not been much if any better overall than Albon.

      I’m honestly hoping that Danny Ric doesn’t replace Perez. Let it be Yuki, but I don’t want to see Danny get destroyed by Max again. I don’t think that he has enough to offer to create a situation like Rosberg to Hamilton.

        Did DR get utterly destroyed by Verstappen though?

        Max beat him in the 2018 standings but Ricciardo got very unlucky with reliability that year. He had 8 DNFs, compared to 4 from Verstappen, 6 of which were down to the car rather than him.

        Verstappen decisively beat him in qualifying but, with an average gap of just over a tenth, its not the embarrassment that it first appears.

        Do I think Ricciardo can beat Verstappen? No, probably not. That said, he is the only driver to have beaten Max in equal machinery and they both have a preference for reactive front ends. With Max demanding an incredibly twitchy car, RB need a second driver that can reliably place their car high in the order. Especially since they may actually have to fight for the championship in 24 and 25.

          Unfortunately the daniel of today is not the same as the daniel of 2018. Also max today is also much better than he was in 2018. So even though he did not get destroyed earlier, he may get destroyed now in much the same way as he was destroyed by Lando. Ricciardo has to go to a smaller team and rebuild his confidence and reputation before trying for one of the top teams
