168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo is the likeliest driver on the 2024 F1 grid to lose h♒is seat at RB mid-season should his performances not improve.

Ricciardo has failed to out-qualify teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda in any of th🉐e opening four rounds, only beating him on race d൲ay in Bahrain due to team orders.

The Australian will receive a new chasཧsis for this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix, although RB’s decision to change it isn’t linked to his struggles.

The pressure on Ricciardo to perform is only increasing with168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Liam Lawson waiting in the wings.

Writing in his , veteran F1 journalist Andrew Benso🍃n explained why Ricciardo is the number one candidate to potentially lose his seat in the middle of this year.

“ওThis can happen any season in F1 and the people most at risk at the moment are Daniel Ricciardo at RB and Logan Sargeant at Williams,” Benson wro🅠te.

“Ricciardo has had a difficult start to the season and Red Bull are notoriously unforgiving with their dr🦩ivers. Since returning to F1 midway through last year, the Australian has gone from being talked about as a potential replacement for Sergio Perez at the senior team, to apparently being a✤t risk of being dropped in favour of reserve driver Liam Lawson at the junior outfit.

“If Ricciardo's performances don't impro🅺ve soon, the pressure on him - already high - will 🐟become intense. No one would be surprised if Lawson was in the car sooner or later in that scenario.”

Anꦰother driver struggling on the grid is Logan Sargeant.

Sargeant continues to disappoint - and still hasn’t beaten 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon in a competitive session.

However, Benson doubts Sargeant’s seat ꦯis under threat, at least until next year.

“Williams have had a difficult start to the season on a number of levels and Sargeant's performances in comparison to 💛team-mate Alex Albon are far from their main concern. But they are a concern,” he added.

“Having said that, there doesn't seem to be any desire to change things around mid-season, so Sargeant will probably survive until the end of the year, when he will likely be dropped if he has not 🥀upped his game.”
