Wild, I figured they'd give Nyck til the end of the season.

Also, Danny Ricc getting put in the junior car is kinda depressing. Although I get it, not really any spot up at the top rn. Checo seems to be doing just barely good enough...

It is a shame. I guess junior car is a little bit less depressing than reserve driver tho haha

Agreed. A seat is better than no seat. But yea he’s definitely going to have to prove himself again.

as someone else already stated it‘s really harsh. But pretty good for RBR/AT because they will see how good Ricciardo performs against Tsunoda. If Tsunoda outperforms Daniel he will also be dropped and Liam Lawson will drive the AT in 2024. Pretty solid strategy.

Tsunado

Was that intentional? Because that’s genius! 😂

That’s a good point point. Should add a little bit of excitement for the second half of the calendar.

I think the only reason Checo is still there is he isn't wrecking the cars, just costing them points, which are kind of like monopoly money to them at this point.
