Drive to Survive fan-favourite Daniel Ricciardo 's Formula One future has been placed in jeopardy as Red Bull Racing Director Helmut Marko signals New Zealand-born driver Liam Lawson will"soon" take over.
Despite this second chance, Ricciardo has struggled to meet expectations and currently has no contract for the upcoming season.Director of Red Bull Formula One Helmut Marko hinted on Wednesday changes within the team were imminent. Marko has not specified whether Lawson would take over this season, next season or later but indicated that Ricciardo's time with Red Bull was drawing to a close.The RB team functions as a feeder team to prepare drivers for the main Red Bull team but Ricciardo has not proven himself worthy of the seat according to management.
Following the Spanish Grand Prix, the Australian trailed teammate Yuki Tsunoda by 10 points over the season and his Japanese counterpart leads him 7-2 in qualifying and 5-2 in races. “I’ve got many reasons to be excited about Austria. It’s my 250th F1 Grand Prix,” Ricciardo said ahead of the event. “We don’t have much time as it’s a sprint weekend with only one practice, so we really must hit the ground running. We’re ready for it.”
