The sacking of Nyck de Vries and hiring of Ricciardo at AlphaTauri was yesterday’s large story, and there was loads of response to the information that de Vries’ time in F1 had come to an finish after simply 11 races.
Comprehensible, I believe this was the worst rookie debut in years. It simply wasn’t going wherever however downwards.
I’m positive there will probably be loads of “oh Purple Bull is so unfair” posts coming, however I don’t assume that’s true. That is F1, you both carry out otherwise you’re out. Nyck did a two-out-of-ten job at the very best of occasions, even with essentially the most orange-tinted glasses I don’t see how you would justify him retaining that seat in hope of getting higher. Why not change to Ricciardo and put together him optimally for a Perez substitute subsequent 12 months? Makes good sense for the staff.
