The new season of Netflix’s Drive to Survive F1 series has revealed how 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo blew his chance of replacing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez at the British Grand Prix.

With Perez badly struggling for form question marks were being raised about his future at Red Bull, with Ricciardo finding him🦂self linked as a possible replacement as F1 approached the summer break.

Ricciardo was driving for Red Bull’s sister team Racing Bulls at the time and it has no🐼w emerged just how close the Australian got to achieving his target of returning to the senior team.

“If we carry on like this, we’re f*****,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is heaಌrd saying in one episode, referring to the constructors’ championship.

“What are we gonna do with our Mexican? I’m starting to think it’s diminishing returns. This♏ weekend, we have to look very carefully at the other drivers [on the Red Bull books: Ricciardo, Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson].

“I’m a big fan of Daniel. He’s not been competitive, but we know what he’s capa🍨ble of. I think he can sniff that ﷺthere’s a bit of a chance.”

Ricci𒈔ardo is seen having a briefing with Red Bull’s head of communications Paul Smit𒊎h.

“I just wasn’t sure how much they’ve made aware to the public that Checo was somewhat on the verge,” Ricciardo says to ꦐSmith.

Smith replies: “What Christian’s been saying publicly is: the way that it’s been approached wi♕th Checo is🅷 through a lot of support, right?

“As oppo🐻sed to, we’re definitely f****** replacing Checo, he’s f*****, DR is in [at Red Bull], ♉Liam is in at VCARB [Racing Bulls]…”

A smiling Ricciardo responds: “Happy days!”

Ricciardo fails to take chance 

Smi𓆉th is then heard outlining to Ricciardo exactly what he must do to earn the Red Bull seat.

“So for you, I think Christian’s taking the time to see what 🤪happens here [at the British GP and beyond], he needs success,” Smith says.

“Yeah… that’s cool,” Ricciardo replies.

Ricciardo woul🔯d go on to endure a difficult race at Silverstone, finishing just two places higher than he started in 13th.

Things were even worse for Perezꦅ, who took 17th after crashing out o⛎f the first part of qualifying and starting the grand prix on the back row in 19th.

“We don’t have anybody else in the other car [VCARB]🌸 that is putting in performances that are like ‘wow’,” Horner says.

Red Bull reserve driver168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Liam Lawson is heard discussing the situatio꧂n w🃏ith Smith as he prepares for an interview with Netflix.

“So 𝓀Liam ‘respectful hunger,’” Smith says. “So you really want this seat…🎶”

“But I’m respectful?” Lawson replies quizzically. “But I’m not respectfu𝔉l!

“I need to drive. I’m goin▨g crazy not driving. I can’t take this much longer. J🍷ust hanging around, watching racing, I’m losing my mind mate.”

Lawson would go on to take Ricciardo’s seat for the final six rounds of the season at Racing Bulls, before earning a promotion to a full-time drive with Re🌄d Bull for 2025 as Perez’s replac🔜ement.
