Honestly? Kind of. There is a reason why he was shit until Daniel got there and fixed the car setup. Yuki in his 4th season not being able to give accurate feedback about the car is why Daniel is there and why Yuki will not be a number one driver. I also can see Yuki getting binned before Daniel if they want to bring Lawson in next season. They need an experienced cool head for Lawson to learn from (especially if there are hopes he will end up in the Red Bull) and that is not Yuki. Although they expect upgrades to improve car performance, the car right now is a shit box so results aren't the be all and end all at the moment when points are unlikely unless someone from one of the top 5 teams goes down.
It is also important to remember that Yuki is only in the seat because Honda want him there. There will be one year left on the Honda sponsorship deal at the end of the season and I can see Red Bull just saying screw it and getting rid of him.

Well even though driver error for DR he still had managed to post 10th fastest in Q1. If it wasn't track limits his time would have been even faster...so it's not pace. Atleast today. But now hes butchered his chances for tomorrow and that's a shame. Will end up getting stuck behind someone and being a test bunny to help Yuki's chances. Which will cause more chat about how shit he is now.
The only reason DR was ahead in Bahrain was because the team ordered Tsunoda to let him past. Mind you, DR would argue that the main reason he was behind Tsunoda for most of the race was the team's tyre strategy.
Yuki is there for one reason, and one reason only - Honda are Red Bull's engine suppliers, and they want a Japanese driver in the car. Yuki wouldn't have a drive if it weren't for the Honda factor. That factor goes away in 2026, when Red Bull switch to Ford engines.
While the team is just a feeder team, the Red Bull management want the cars to be more competitive than they are, and having DR helping the setup is a significant factor in making that happen. Having said that, I agree that there's not a lot of point having a driver as old and slow as DR in a feeder team.

Even the deleted time in Q1 was still slower than Yuki's Q1 time.
Ricciardo will turn it around. It will be the bane of my existence for the meantime to read everyone crapping on about him on here. But I did like this meme.

So Danny Ric is from Perth, Oscar from Melbourne, what state is adopting Valteri? I’m guessing Queensland with that bogan look he’s developed.

Perez gets a 3 place penalty for impeding in Q1

100% cultivating the classic SA bogan look but he aint going to be winning over any hearts as long as we have two Aussies out on track

I don’t know about that, if he starts going by the nickname VB and wearing an AFL jumper. I always liked VB especially when he’d beat Lewis yes Aussies first but VB is a good guy.

Looks like a two stopper is expected but what is the bet there are some that make the one stop work?

Well it looked and sounded like he wasn't exactly sober so that isn't surprising.
