What's happening with Ricciardo? Even a very broken and hard to drive Red Bull could overtake him.
He's coming across as a driver in the Button mould - very quick in a car that's exactly how he wants it, strangely off colour in a car that's not to his exact liking.
Either that or he's having an "off season". All drivers have them at some point where they just can't seem to get themselves "on it".
There's also the third option: maybe Norris is just faster than him and making him look slow. Which would be a surprise, to be honest.
Could be both I guess. We've seen it with Vettel - he was fabulous until the big regulation change and lost much of what made him special after, yet even in the past few years he had decent and terrible seasons at Ferrari. Norris being quicker - sure, he can be, but the difference is too large for that being the sole reason, I think.
