Daniel Ricciardo finally gets the new chassis he’s been waiting for at the Chinese Grand Prix, a race in which he seriously needs to kickstart his Formula 1 season. But just how worried should he be about losing his seat?
Daniel Ricciardo is set to receive a new chassis at the Chinese Grand Prix in a crucial attempt to revive his underwhelming Formula 1 season. Despite high expectations surrounding his return and long-term prospects at Red Bull Racing, Ricciardo is yet to score any points, unlike his impressive teammate Yuki Tsunoda. Speculation suggests Ricciardo may face a potential mid-season replacement by Red Bull reserve Liam Lawson if he fails to improve by the Miami Grand Prix. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has been vocally critical of Ricciardo’s performance, fueling rumors of a possible driver swap. While no official ultimatum has been issued, Ricciardo is fully aware of the need to turn his season around before facing further concerns about his future at Red Bull Racing.
