This is starting to get embarrassing for Checo. I thought people were exaggerating how precarious his position was but if he keeps performing like this RB might actually be forced to take action.

Imagine if RB had an actual competitor, Checo couldn’t support Max at the front at all if he keeps going like this.

Yuki to RB please
I really don’t think Yuki would be an improvement. He’s been inconsistent and his highs haven’t exactly been amazing. They’d be better going for Riccardo or the Hulk or Sainz imo.

My net is on Hulkenberg.

As odd as it sounds, Sainz is too good. RBR doesn’t another driver who can challenge for the win. That only creates friction. That means that Sainz is not a good option in my opinion.

Ricciardo is apparently too slow when driving the sim, slower than Perez.

I think Hulk is decent enough, but also realistic enough not to start drama within the team.

Where was it said that Ricardo is slow on sim? Just never came across such info? (not doubting ur comment just want to see where to look for such info)

Amongst others.

Obviously no real “hard” data, but the rumours were certainly strong.

Inside Red Bull's bid to coax out 'the Daniel Ricciardo we knew' - The Race

Daniel Ricciardo's first go at the Red Bull sim after his McLaren exit was rumoured to be a disaster. But there has been major progress since

The Race
Thanks, that was a good read. Horner did seem to suggest Daniel was improving but who knows.
