P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Daniel Ricciardo was a revelation in the AlphaTauri in Mexico – but whether he can thrive in a modern Red Bull remains an open question. And, for now, he may be a more useful asset for AlphaTauri anyway
“Christian Horner is confident that Daniel Ricciardo is back to his old form after his strong performance in Mexico. Ricciardo’s impressive showing in the race proves that he is currently at the top of his game. On the other hand, Sergio Perez, who Ricciardo is aiming to replace at Red Bull, has been struggling and seems to be helping Lewis Hamilton in the championship race. Although it may be tempting to declare Perez finished and ready to be replaced by Ricciardo, Red Bull wants to gather more data on both drivers. They believe that Perez’s struggles are primarily mental and that he needs to regain his role as a support act to Max Verstappen. In recent races, Perez’s performances have declined significantly, and his decision-making seems questionable. This has raised concerns within Red Bull, especially considering their highly competitive car. Despite Ricciardo’s solid performance, Red Bull wants to assess the situation further before making any decisions.”
