168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo is reportedly the “Plan B” sho𓄧uld Red Bull need to replace the misfiring✅ Sergio Perez.

Ricciardo’s dream of returning to the Red Bul🍸l - which he admitted when he returned after his brief hiatus from F1 - largely rests upon the team’s patience with Perez.

Red Bull have confirmed that their driver line-up, and their sister team RB’🐠s, will not change for the second half of the season.

That clarification somewhat eased the considerable pr﷽essure on Perez whose poor form led to 🧔claims he would be axed midseason.

If Perez remains unable to score the points that his emp♔loyers demand after the additional time and support that the🥀y will give him, then RB’s Ricciardo or reserve driver Liam Lawson are the options to replace him.

“Ricciardo🧜 would likely get the nod,” ’s Lawrence Barretto wrote.

Ricciardo was ditched by McLaren at the end oꦚf 2022 but an impressive test in a Red Bull resulted in his midseason return, with AlphaTauri, in 2023.

He entered th🗹is year hoping to be flung back into the Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen full-time, but Perez was instead rewarded with a new contract.

Since the ink dried, Perez’s form has ꦗfailed him. He will remain in position when the F1 summer breaks ends this weekend at Zandvoort, but for how much longer?

Red Bull deadline to lose Liam Lawson?

Talented prospect Lawson first shone in F1 last year, deputising for the in♌jured Ricciardo in the AlphaTauri.

His꧟ first F1 grands prix led to suggestions he should retain the race seat for this year,🐷 which Red Bull decided againsts.

Bu𒅌t Red Bull have a deadline - which they are likely to miss - to give Lawson a full-time race seat, or risk losing him permanently.

“It is believed Red Bull must give Lawson a seat at one of their teams 🔜for 2025 by September otherwise he’s free to go elsewhere,” Barretto w💛rote.

“Red Bull don’t want to lose him.”

Their desꦿire to keep🔜 Lawson adds additional pressure onto Perez.

If his poor form is unsustainable and he is replaced by Ricciardo, Lawson is ready-ma♓d🔯e to hop into the RB.

But Lawson is also snapping at the heels of🔯 Ricciardo, whose future is uncertain.

The veteran Australian still has no con𝕴tract for 2025, while teammate Yuki Tsunoda is tie🐬d down.

Ricciardo spoke openly before the ꦑsummer break that he could be enteringജ his final grand prix, if Red Bull choose to get rid of him.

That threat remains unless he ꦅdoes enough to earn a new contract.

“If his form drops, Lawso🍷n is the candidate to replace him for next season,” Bar꧋retto wrote.
