    I think they will put Ricciardo in the seat for the rest of the season, he’s performing equally to Tsunoda but will probably be able to handle the stress much better. Putting Lawson directly in the Red Bull is probably too much of a risk

      I’m amazed that you think Ricciardo is performing at an equal level as Tsunoda. Then I checked and it seemed for the last 5 races or so Ricciardo finished higher. Quite surprising, I basically wrote Ricciardo off ages ago!

      Anyway, Ricciardo had it difficult after not being able to perform in McLaren. Not exactly sure if he’s able to handle pressure still. Finishing slightly better than Tsunoda for a few races isn’t that impressive to me.

      Agreed.

      Quite curious as to what is going to happen. There’s (was?) a power struggle in Red Bull, seems different people there have different drivers as their preference. They seem to be stubborn.

        Ricciardo seems much happier and confident now. I’m not wildly impressed either, but I believe he’s a solid option right now. I think Tsunoda is just too much of a hot head for the Red Bull
