DR was at fault for the deleted lap so you can't use that as an excuse. It actually makes it worse because Yuki throughly beat him all weekend, including practices, qualifying and race.

He made one on track pass, on the Alpine of Gasly. aka the slowest car on the grid.
He Bradburyed his way to a 'respectable' P12 but unpacking it, it wasn't a good drive, it was just a drive.
His teammate on the other hand..

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they move on from DR quickly.
It's becoming increasingly apparent he won't be moving into the second RB seat, therefore he really has no business being in that team. Especially with LL in the wings.

i'm guessing he’s mystified why, after a decade, he still lives in your head rent-free.

Sadly, I think DR is done. He’d need to improve drastically in the next race to stay the full year I feel.

I think summer break is more likely if at all.
The only way this really gets accelerated is if Horner ends up leaving, which admittedly is looking less and less likely.
I believe Horner is the biggest reason that 1) DR is back at RB in the first place and 2) will last longer than the previous underperforming Alpha Toro Cash App drivers historically have.
I'm forwarning everyone here that I will mercilessly troll all of you when Ricciardo turns form/results around. I will point out all your mediocre opinions.

I didn't watch this race, wrong timezone for me.
Sounds like it was boring AF, even without Max cruising to victory.
F1 in its current form is a borefest on track.
Thank god for the shenanigans off the track.

I for one hope that happens. Probably lots of us on this forum do.
In reality he is out of that seat by Zandvoort, if not sooner.

Sounds like nearly every car is getting upgrades by Imola except the French tractor. I thought in testing they had a tricky chassis but if they figured it out the sweet spot there might be some hidden potential there. But I was wrong and it seems like not even Alpine know what they've done.
Oh yeah?! Well, I’ll mercilessly troll YOU for…. Um…. Stuff.

Just as long as you're prepared to cop it if/when his form/results don't turn around.

Would love as much as anyone else to be wrong. But aside from Mexico last year, I can't see a single time since Monza where I've thought "Damn Danny Ricc has still got it".

sad to say i agree. and there are some very good young drivers waiting in the wings.

I was excited by the chance that Ricc could end up in a Red Bull and potentially win a race later this season or atleast podium. If he was dropped into a Red Bull right now he'd podium a few times I've no doubt. But so would any driver on the grid most likely. Sadly it's not happening now. Hopeful that we can turn it around and stay in F1 somewhere but doesn't look likely now either. I'm coming to terms with it and if it means we can get some new talent into F1 then so be it.
Any team would be saying.
I think I read the words "blank cheque" in terms of what Ferrari were open to

prob the 4th team this year to do so.
There is a procession of Team Principles and bags of $$ that roll in and out of his office each year.

I wonder if he'd consider going somewhere else. Someone that brilliant at what he does would surely be interested in a different challenge at some stage. Would be cool if he went to Williams and along with Vowles returned them to the top! They just need to be willing to spend the money

Apparently Vettel has confirmed he has had talks with Toto about the vacant Merc seat. There are rumours some at Red Bull want Alonso. How great would it be if Merc sorted their s**t out and you have Max, Hamilton, Vettel, and Alonso all fighting at the front.
