Seems like Zak's making noises already. Shame to see him do so badly in Monaco, he's had a couple of years of being right "on it" there, and I love watching a good quali at Monaco.My guess is he'll need to at least start equalling Norris in performance in the next 2-3 races or they'll be an energetic renegotiation of his contract, or Mclaren will dump him at the end of the season.
Undoubtedly but I still think he was right to go. Christian Horner has a solid track record of being hopeless at managing drivers and there's no doubt Ric was / would've been second fiddle to Verstappen in every way (which hasn't exactly worked out for any of his successors except for Checo, who is happy playing the #2 role). Ricciardo never would've won a WC with RBR as long as Verstappen was there and the bullshit around that crash between the two of them at Baku in 2018 was probably the last straw.The “what if I’d stayed at RBR” thought must be eating him up.
Yeah Hopefully it's just more motivation to beat Norris.Seems like Zak's making noises already.
I think all it takes is one good race from Dan, and the talk will drop away e.g. after Monza last year. This year I've felt Dan's seemed more on top of the car, close to Lando in quali, so I am always hopefulYeah Hopefully it's just more motivation to beat Norris.
Not so much anymore it seems. Though Daddystappen seems to think any strategic advantage should be handed straight to his son. What a wanker....second fiddle to Verstappen in every way (which hasn't exactly worked out for any of his successors except for Checo, who is happy playing the #2 role.
Checo is definitely #2 at RBR. Checo will only win races when he cannot gift them to Joss's boy, like Monaco for example. As for the championship if there is trouble with #33 and he is out of the championship then all RBR will be behind Checo to secure the win (s).Not so much anymore it seems. Though Daddystappen seems to think any strategic advantage should be handed straight to his son. What a wanker.
Absolutely, I just think he isn't as happy to be so this year.Checo is definitely #2 at RBR.
with added f2 and f3.Melbourne on the calendar till 2035.
