168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo is reportedly the “Plan B𝕴” sh൲ould Red Bull need to replace the misfiring Sergio Perez.

Ricciardo’s dream of returning to the Red Bull - which hꦯe admitted when he returned after his brief hiatus from F1 - largely rests upon the team’s patience with Perez.

Red Bull have confirmed that their ♛driver line-up, and their sister team RB’s, will not change for the second half of the sea🌠son.

That clarification somewhat eased tꦓhe considerable pressure on Perez whose poor form led to claims he would be axed midseason.

If Perez remains unable to score the points that his employers demand after the additional time and support that they will give him, then RB’s Ricciardo or reserve driver Liam Lawson are the optܫions to replace him.

“🧜Ricciardo would likely ge෴t the nod,” ’s Lawrence Barretto wrote.

Ricc💖iardo was ditched by McLaren at the end of 2022 but an impressive test in a Red Bull resulted in his midseason return, with AlphaTauri, in 2023.

He entered this year hoping to be flung back into the Red Bull alongside Max Verstap𝐆pen full-time, but Perez was instead rewarded with a new contract.

Since the ink dried, Perez’s form has failed him. He will remain in position when the F1 summer breaks ends this weekend at Zandvoort, but for how 🀅much longer?

Red Bull deadline to lose Liam Lawson?

Talented prospect Lawson first shone in F1 last year, deputising for the injured Ricciardo in ꦦthe AlphaTauri.

His first F1 grands prix led to suggestions h𝔉e should retain the race seat for this year, which Red Bull decided againsts.

But Red Bull have a deadline - which they are likely to miss - to give Lawson a full-time race seat, or risk losing h𓄧im permanently.

“It is believed Red Bull must give Lawson a seat at one of their teams for 2025 by September otherwise he’s free to go else🐈where,” Barretto wrote.

“Red Bull don’t want to lose him.”

Their desire to keep Lawson adds additional pressure onto Pere♎꧂z.

If his poor form is unsustainable an🎐d he is replaced by Ricciardo, Lawson is ready-made to hop into the RB.

But Lawson is also snapping at the heels of Ricciardo, 🐓whose future is u🤡ncertain.

The veteran Australian still has no contract for 2025, whil꧑e teammate Yuki Tsunoda is tied down.

Ricciardo spoke openly before the summer break🧸 that he could be entering his final grand prix, if Red Bull choose to get rid of him.

Th💧at threat remains unless he does enough to earn a new contract.

“If his form drop🌠s, Lawson is the candidate to replaceꦍ him for next season,” Barretto wrote.
