The story I heard and that made sense to me is that there's a clause in Liam's contract that if he didn't have a seat by the end of September, he becomes a free agent. If Daniel had been lighting up the timetables, they'd let Liam's contract lapse, but since he's not, the org's interest in retaining Liam trumps any desire to let Daniel finish out the season. Bummer, but that's the business.

@@Ugluk1000 When clauses, it’s definitely more likely that Liam Lawson needs to have a drive in the 2025 F1 season or he will become a free agent. Daniel has a contract to end of 2024 season and Christian Horner likes DR to much allow him to be removed from a seat, half way through a season. The question is, is Checo or DR will retiring from F1 at the end of the season?

They keep saying “Daniel should have never left RedBull”, that’s very true, and that team wanted to keep him… but they had that Renault engine in his last few years, the reliability was completely *non-existent.* And they were switching to Honda which had an even slower and less reliable engine with McLaren. Max was also slowly becoming the #1 driver, out qualifying him on most weekends… there were a few reasons for Ricciardo to want to seek out the next team that could win in the future🤷♂️

He's been outperformed now by rookies in similar performing cars. I love DR. But it's clear there is not the hunger there anymore and honestly I think the move to McLaren destroyed him as a driver. He can still be somewhat competitive but he's not the same driver anymore. GL to him in whatever he chooses

He’s leaving F1. If you weren’t convinced already you just had to watch the press conferences with the drivers. Autosport voted him best driver in the world in 2016. Ruined his F1 career leaving Red Bull in search of a drivers title. One of the reasons was that he wasn’t sure if the Honda engines would pan out. If you knew the basic history of Honda in F1 you knew it they would no matter how brutal the performance was with McLaren. Horner and Red Bull wanted to buy engines but were refused by Ron Dennis.

Strange timing. In the last 10 races Dan has dominated Yuki 7 - 3 and beaten all of the midfield drivers around him, bar Alonso. Stroll 6 - 4, Albon 6 - 4, Gasly 6 - 4, Magnussen 7 - 3, Ocon 8 - 2. (Hulkenberg is an even 5 - 5). Though it's true he is in the twilight of his F1 career. Plenty of options in other racing formats or PR work. It will be interesting to see how Liam goes v's Yuki. Then maybe the step up to RB #1 team.

It's such a strange sport when you try to interpret the driver market. In a way I wish it was actually out of the teams hands, they make such a balls of it. You build the car, then some other party decides who drives. There's no doubt the sport needs juniors, ideally new ones every year. That said, theres a few drivers that deserve a sacking and I don't think D. Ric is one of them. Maybe he does, but not in this way and he's not at the top of the list. If Lawson is 2 tenths quicker, is that worth this whole show? P.S Maranello Gaia says Gday Kym ;)

His likeability would have very little impact on him being in F1. He may not be getting the results on the track but his experience in F1 would be invaluable to RB. There is more to being a driver than just getting results on the track. Giving the engineers feedback to help to develop the car is essential for any team to move forward. The car that RB have at the moment is only just above it being a tractor as Yuki's results are not setting the world on fire either.
