[Lawrence Barretto] Sources say Ricciardo was impressive in today's Pirelli tyre test with Red Bull, his first drive in 2023 machinery, and that his best lap would have been good enough for the front

Sounds almost more like wishful thinking than rumors. But it would lead credence to the abrupt driver swap announced today.
If Daniel was able to drop in a car after being absent for like 9 months and put down competitive times; then I understand Red Bull not wanting to waste any time. Horner probably wants a relaxing summer break with next year’s lineup Locked in.
So they put Danny in a red bull and turned him loose. Now they are putting him in an alpha tauri and expecting him to put up similar times?
This isn’t going to go well. I love Danny, I wish him the best, but I hope this all doesn’t make him look too silly in the end.
