Daniel Ricciardo still “the number one candidate” to replace Sergio Perez in 2025
ꦿDaniel Ricciardo is still the favourite to replace Sergio Perez in 2025.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo is still the frontrunner to replace 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez at Red Bull in 2025, according to Ted Kravitz.
Perez’s curren♕t 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 drivers’ championship, Pere🅷z languished well be♛hind Verstappen throughout the season.
Ricciardo’s return to the Red Bull fold, replacing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries in the middle of last year has only put more pressure on Perez heading♊ into the new season.
While Ricciardo didn’t outclass 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda, partially down to the injury he sustained at Zandvoort, a strong start to 2024 might make his dream return to Red🍨 Bull a reality.
In a recent Q&A on Sky Sports’ website, 🥂Kravitz explained why Ricciardo remains the favourite to replace.
“Firstly, I think he's going to have a 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 scor🧸e a lot of points and help move that team forward.
“They've got a lot of big technical signings - Tim Goss, 𒆙a very experienced technical guy, and a lot of people have joined from ꦯother teams, including Red Bull.
“And as for replacing Perez, Daniel is still, I think, the numbe💯r one candidate to replace Perez, now that they can't get Lando and Lewis has gone elsewhere, it’s really between Ricciardo and Sainౠz.”
Kravitz sees Ricciardo as the ideal candidate to replace Perez, rather than 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz, due to potential friction between the Spa♔niard and Verstappen back ಞwhen they were teammates at Toro Rosso.
“I just🎃 think Ricciardo would be a little bit better for♋ inter-team morale, purely because it didn’t end particularly 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 m🌊aybe it might work.
“But I still thinkཧ somewhere deep in Red Bꦏull, the plan is for Danny Ric to replace Checo in 2025.”
