Considering the state of the Red Bull car at the moment, a seat at the team has to be the most desired home for an F1 driver in the sport. If you don’t mind the politics that comes with it of course. When Daniel Ricciardo took on the role of reserve driver and PR superstar for the Red Bull team in 2023, all anyone could talk about was how he was placed there to pressurize Sergio Perez. Then, when Nyck De Vries met his untimely end at the hands of Helmut Marko, a fate possibly worse than death, Ricciardo secured himself a set at then called Alpha Tauri team and again, he wasn’t definitely there because he was going to replace Sergio Perez when the time came. It was obvious that McLaren were the problem, not Daniel, and back at Red Bull, his original home in the sport, he was ready to return to his former best. Christian Horner even went as far as saying they were starting to see the old Daniel in the simulator. Despite an impressive seventh place in Mexico last year, Ricciardo has failed to perform, proving all of us wrong regarding his imminent ascension to the Red Bull team. So what is going on with Daniel Ricciardo? And what does it mean for Sergio Perez and the second Red Bull seat?
