This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.

From F1's Twitter account. No further story yet, but I'm sure there will be a flood of articles online shortly.

I always thought he was the most overrated driver on the grid, especially at his salary. He seems to have as many lives as a cat, career-wise.

Rumor is that may be the case for 2024 if Daniel's AlphaTauri ride goes well the rest of this year.

I don’t think it is possible that he will do well for the rest of the year. The car sucks. Max would do poorly in that car.

Musical Chairs with one driver missing... more pressure on Perez since next Daniel could do up to RedBull and Perez down to AlphaTauri.... Advantage of two teams, of course I’m waiting for Lawrence Stroll to buy AlphaTauri for that exact reason for MMMMMM?

Agreed, checko is overrated in my observation.

My question, might this be a tryout for rb #2 next season?

"Doing well" relatively speaking, of course. If Ricciardo outscores teammate Yuki Tsunoda for the rest of the season, that is probably doing well enough to move up to Checco's seat.

“”Doing well” relatively speaking”

I think you are right and if Ricciardo finishes the rest of the season averaging around the tenth place would be an amazing seasom for him.

Even with that I don’t see Checco being replaced. He has had some weird things happen in qualifications but has run very well in the race.
