Wonder if soon means 2 races like it was with Nyck de Vries
2, didn’t he get 10?
Initial rumor was around the Baku GP that he had 2 races (Apr end). There was more comments from Marko through May. It came to a end in Silverstone 6 races later in 1st week of July
De Vries was rubbish. Not even remotely in the same ballpark as Ricciardo nor does he have the runs on the board results or experience wise either. Nor the praise from people like Bayer, Permane, Eggington, Horner, Tost etc the list goes on. Ricciardo when in the zone is top drawer, RB are prudent to at least play out a while yet if not the whole season car development wise too with Dans help before making any decisions. Then again they may not have to if Dan as soon as next race starts pulling the big results he is capable of. It shows the negative bias of people to be going this hard after 2 races of 24 when even those 2 races were impacted by a substandard car which even Yuki said is not good enough not to mention issues the found after Dans qualli and race as stated recently. Other drivers are getting beaten way more by teammates at this early point. Its still 0 points each. In other words folks need to take a chill pill and stop overreacting after 2 races..
The head to head Yuki vs De Vries. 206 laps inside the top 10 to 1. 1 lap inside the top 10 in 10 races!! That says enough...
