A Red Bull Racing spokesperson has attempted to hose down the raging fire surrounding Australian F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo. Reports surfaced on Thursday that the embattled Ricciardo was set to be sacked in a few weeks. The story was spread by veteran F1 journalist Joe Saward on X only hours after explosive comments were made by director of the Red Bull Formula One teams Helmut Marko.
The 34-year-old’s indifferent racing form has seen his career hanging by a thread over the past few years. Speaking to Austrian publication Kleine Zeitung, Marko said there desire was to have Lawson in the driver’s seat. “The shareholders have made it clear that it is a junior team and we have to act accordingly,” he said. “The goal was that would be considered for Red Bull Racing with exceptional performances. That seat now belongs to Sergio Perez, so that plan is no longer valid.
