Daniel Ricciardo still “the number one candidate” to replace Sergio Perez in 2025
Danielꦜ Ricciardo is still the favourite to replace Sergio Perez 🙈in 2025.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo is still the frontrunner to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez at Red Bull in 2025, according to Ted Kravitz.
Perez’s current Red Bull contract runs out at the end of 2024, leading to intense🍸 speculation about his potential replacement.
Despite finishing a career-best second in the 2023 F1 drꦆivers’ championship, Perez languished well behind Verstappen throughout the season.
Ricciardo’s return to the Red Bull fold, replacing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck de Vries in ꦇthe middle of last year has only put mor♛e pressure on Perez heading into the new season.
While Ricciardo didn’t outclass 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda, partially down to the injury he sustai𝕴ned at Zandvoort, a strong start to 2024 might make his dream return to Red Bull𒈔 a reality.
In a recent Q&A on Sky Sports’ website, Kravitz explained why Ric꧅ciar⛦do remains the favourite to replace.
“Firstly, I think 🌞he's going to have aꦆ very good season,” Kravtiz wrote. “I think he's going be on the podium at least once in that RB. I think he's going to score a lot of points and help move that team forward.
“They've got a lot of꧑ big technical signi♐ngs - Tim Goss, a very experienced technical guy, and a lot of people have joined from other teams, including Red Bull.
“Anꦬd as for replacing Perez, Daniel is still, I think, the number one candidate to replace Perez, now that they can't get Lando and Lewis has gone elsewhere, it’s really between Ricciardo and Sainz.”
Kravitz sees Ricciardo as the ideal candidate to replace Perez, rather than 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, due to potential frဣiction between the Spaniard and Verstappen back when they were teammates at Toro Rosso.
“I just think Ricciardo would be a little bit better for int♌er-team morale, purely because it didn’t end pa▨rticularly well when Sainz and Verstappen were team-mates,” he added.
“But they’re both older and they’ve both moved on a lot from the Toro Rosso 🔯days, so maybe it might work.
“But I still think somewhꦛere deep in Red Bull, the plan is for Danny Ric to replace Checo in 2025.”
