I'd like to hate on RBR for its masochistically cutthroat HR department, but have there been many drivers they axed who went on to do great things elsewhere? I guess Albon maybe right now but that's only a partial season so far?

Even with Albon, they helped him get the Williams seat and he’s still contracted to RB with an option to go back.

When you have one of the best cars on the grid its pretty much a given that any driver you axe isn't going to do great things as judged by the team they left

pretty excited to have 2 (+1 honorary) aussies on the grid next race! although as much as I like Ricciardo it will be unquestionably funny if Yuki outperforms him and the Alpha Tauri kills his comeback chance even if his tyre test was good in the RB19 that doesn't mean he's going to be a natural at adapting to Nyck's handmedown shitbox

So we know for a fact that Danny can drive some decent cars fast but other decent cars not fast. We know the AT is a piece of poo poo but does it have Danny's special sauce?

Danny's McLaren years were awful, but was he really a binman before that? He was a bit error prone and sorta went hot or cold, but in the first bunch of years when Merc was dominant it felt like Danny Rick's good weekends were the only thing keeping the seasons from being a one-team show.

I always felt like the "JEV was offered a F1 seat after wining FE but turned it down" stuff was exaggerated for FE promotion but if there's truth to it he certainly made the right decision to stay there and keep getting paid and winning races.

He was a bit error prone and sorta went hot or cold, but in the first bunch of years when Merc was dominant it felt like Danny Rick's good weekends were the only thing keeping the seasons from being a one-team show. He was pretty good in the red bull, although he was a clear number 2 to baby Max. His theory was that the McLaren was a weird car to drive and that Lando had an advantage because he was going in blind rather than having to unlearn habits he'd already developed. Getting away from McLaren will probably do him good. But as Gasly and Albon showed, the red bull is not the alpha tauri, so he could struggle in the alpha tauri too. Who knows. All we can say for sure is that Perez is a binman.

Cimber posted:How much is Are Dan allowed to drive the AT car for purposes of learning its feel and driving style? Is there a limit to familiarization hours? Essentially none. If they hadn't done a filming day or if he had been able to hop in that for the tire test they could have but otherwise that's totally off the table to be driving the current car. We know he was fitted for a seat in the car earlier in the year, ostensibly in his role as reserve for both Red Bull and AT. As far as is reported he's not done any time in the AT simulator that we've heard of, I guess one question would be is if they are able to setup the Red Bull simulator for the AT if he's been doing any work in that instead of all the time he's apparently been doing on the actual RB sim.
