The thought crossed my mind. Williams may be asking themselves if Sainz-Colapinto might be a better lineup...

Sure, they don't owe him anything, and I don't disagree with any of the points above really. He was a back-marker for the last few years and his story would have had a better ending if he hung it up a while ago.

But it would not have hurt RB to announce his departure prior to the race so he could at least have a parade lap and do some donuts.
Precisely this. I’m not some massive Danny Ric fan, far from it, he should go.

Shame on Red Bull for the joke of a sendoff. What a trash organization at every level.
I wish they'd given him a better send off but, look what RB did for him. The gave him an entry into F1...he then signed elsewhere because he was afraid to live in Max's overwhelming shadow (he'd probably do that differently now if given the chance), and then when Mclaren dropped him, RB gave him not only a reserve seat but then put him back into an F1 car with a 2024 salary that put him in the top 10 highest paid drivers. I think RB did more for him than he did for them.

The reason Ricciardo "signed elsewhere" was a boatload of money. Renault in 2019 made him the second highest paid F1 driver (second to Hamilton). Who wouldn't take the ride?

RB didn't do anything wrong to Ric. He got a great sendoff. Got fastest lap, had his whole team cheering him on back in the paddock, etc. Sure he got a nice check too.

He wouldn't have been able to do a parade lap and donuts, you think the FIA would have allowed that? Definitely not. That's not up to RB.

Honestly, the only people doing Ricciardo wrong were all the media talking heads. All the constant articles about him being sacked, etc. just got all the fans worked up. They do the same thing to Checo as well. It's awful, honestly.

The media is one part of this sport that I can't effing stand.

Renault offered him the money because they genuinely believed that they could give RIC a competitive car to compete for wins and be the lead driver. Unfortunately, Renault could not fulfill their promise.

This wasn't a team just throwing money at a driver and hoping to that they could get a couple of P10 finishes for some points - there was a belief they could really be competitive but we know what ultimately happened.

A driver swap mid season is never nice. But don't forget, RIC was here because no one wanted him after his contract wasn't continued at McLaren and they chose for PIA.

Only RB gave him another chance. First as reserve driver and then as replacement for Nyck de Vries. So he got an extra year of F1 racing because of RB.

I'm sad to see him go as he is one of the most likeable drivers on the grid, but F1 is about raw performance and not about nice guys. It's the pinnacle of motorsports, and by swapping less performing drivers for new talent we get better races.
He knew that his place at VCARB is a testing ground for potential teammates/replacements for Max, so he was there to directly compete with Yuki and Checo. Of course Yuki is going nowhere as he is there because of Honda, and Checo apparently has a better marketing potential (although I expect him to be replaced soon too, but that may be just me hoping...)

Mate . Yeah I know , that why I said 'RUMORS"
Regarding Checo's replacement , the situation is possible because he really s@cks through the whole season and in the previous seasons as well..
Just think about his $4.5Million crash hole in the 2024 Red Bull budget cap...
And this season Isn't over yet..

Sure . It can be click bait (as usual)

On the other hand : The rumors were right regarding RIC's last race in Singapore .
So , in F1 we never know ..

As I said it can be click bait , but IMHO he 'always s@cks and RB should replace him ASAP ..

No hate from my side , but MAX could use some help from a good driver with b@lls.

Nico Hulkenberg is the right man ..

Horner suggests Perez will see out his contract till end of next year (if he has his way of course, we know about the internal power struggle)
