The big question for Singapore - will this be Ricciardo's last F1 GP?
No. Ricciardo is popular in the US and there are still two races to come there.
 
Means nothing in the grand context of whether he stays beyond next week.
Perez managed to survive at midseason. I don't see Ricciardo being replaced this season.

I think he will be.
Sadly they should dump perez but because of sponsorship etc they wont.
Its just a matter of whether they let dan see the year out or put lawson in now.
Either way i think he will retire he seems content to not seek another seat if red bull/RB dont keep him.
 
In other seat news



Been very impressed with Colapinto in his 2 races so far.


I like colapinto but i think for where sauber are at they should try to get an experienced driver (admittedly the good ones probably dont want to go there).
 
They could just hold Bottas if they wanted 2 experienced drivers.

But Bottas and Hulkenberg isn't exactly an exciting pairing.

It isnt but i think they need experienced drivers who can help their engineers develop the car etc.

Colapinto and Hulk is a smart pairing for Audi.

That would make, with Lawson, 'rookies' as 1/4 of the grid the next gen which is cool.

Kimi, Bearman, Doohan, Lawson, Colapinto.

Kind of like when Lando, Albon and Russell all came on in 2019 (and Leclerc the season before).

Also about the 16th next gen that has included Fernando Alonso.

4 DRS zones and we still probably wont see much overtaking.

They've had that before, what they really need is money from Audi. Sauber have been going through the motions the last 2 years ever since Alfa pulled stumps
 
Now details surrounding Lawson’s contract with the team emerged with two clauses pouring fuel all the fire.

One clause, reported by AutoRacing1, states Lawson would become a free agent if he doesn’t sign a contract for a race seat by the end of September.

It’s the second clause however that really spells disaster for Ricciardo.

The second one reportedly guarantees him a minimum number of races this season, believed to be five or six.

This is why it probably Danny rics last race

The only remaining hope I guess is that they give Daniel a 5 or 6 race audition in the main car, and give Sergio an early holiday.

But they would probably not do this because
1. Daniel has really done nothing to deserve it.
2. They may not make it out of the Mexican Grand Prix alive.
 
They used to do it back in the day, switching around guys like Liuzzi, Klien, Doornbos in the early years.

But it's a long bow to draw to think that they will be the same in 2024 as they were in 05-06
I just think if that was the case, we'd have already seen Liam in the car.
