I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Ricciardo is a spent force and I no longer think he deserves to be on the grid.

It would be really interesting to see how Ricciardo would drive his prime cars nowadays. Is he still quick in the 2013-17 Red Bull cars? Then it's probably down to how different nowadays cars are. Or is he noticeably slower even in those? Then it's him being past his prime.

Vs

Avg 3 positions better for Yuki.
So Danny is struggling, but still getter better results than Nyck.

How did you count? I feel stupid, because I can't get the same averages. But I wanted to point out that:
Is not fair to take into consideration. Ricciardo finished ahead because of a team order, not because he was faster.

Someone make that team order make sense

One of the stories this year is Yuki's clear improvement and you're treating him like a benchmark.

I really like Danny Ric (who doesn't), but I want to see Liam Lawson get a real shot at a drive.

Same average, but de Vries was improving while Ricciardo is falling behind
blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk · 3 pts · 2y
Yeah a mean average here is very much not telling the whole story!
