One of the news in recent weeks was the departure of Daniel Ricciardo from Racing Bulls, with the team deciding to remove him from the car immediately after his performances were not convincing enough, giving Liam Lawson the chance to end the season. And there are those who say that Ricciardo didn’t even deserve the chance he had this year, as his last seasons weren’t the best, both at Renault and Mclaren. Even tell me in the comments: In your opinion: did Ricciardo deserve more opportunities in big teams? Or did he not deserve these opportunities? Well, speaking of Horner, he commented a little on this whole situation involving Ricciardo and made some behind-the-scenes revelations about the decisions made, first saying that there was pressure since the Spanish GP to remove Ricciardo from the car, with Helmut Marko doing everything to that he would not continue for more races. As we know, Marko, the consultant for the Red Bull teams, always defended the idea that they should have a young driver in this car, and that Daniel Ricciardo was not a driver who would deliver results. And on the other hand, Christian Horner, the boss of Red Bull, has always been a defender of the driver, doing everything to get him back to the main team and continue his career alongside Verstappen, trusting that he has the potential to even be champion. of the world. This thought was reinforced when Ricciardo tested a Red Bull car last year, showing a very strong performance and immediately getting more opportunities in the B team, taking over the car for the remainder of the season. However, as we know, things were not smooth sailing for the driver, and Horner states that even though he tried to defend Ricciardo, his main problem all along was the lack of consistency, as on several occasions the driver showed flashes of good performance, surpassing the that his car allowed, especially in free practice and qualifying. But, in the races, all this performance ended up disappearing and he suffered several times, not being able to keep up with his teammate several times, let alone showing anything above normal that would make him deserve a place at Red Bull. Horner says he did his best to give Ricciardo time in this car so he could go back to being the Ricciardo he used to be and get Perez’s place. But, even with this support, Ricciardo was unable to improve and Sergio Perez, although not at his best, was also unstable and was in the same situation as Ricciardo, not justifying the dismissal of one of them or a change of drivers, since who would exchange 6 for half a dozen. Thus, the time came when there was nothing more that could be done, and even though they had Horner’s support, they had to make a decision to remove the driver from that car, since in addition to Marko, pressure existed from Red’s shareholders. bull, who wanted a rookie driver in this car to make Racing Bulls return to the team’s origins, being a team that prepares drivers from the Red Bull academy for a place in the main team.
