Daniel Ricciardo Under Pressure at RB as Liam Lawson Waits in the Wings

Daniel Ricciardo’s struggles continue as he fails to score a point for Red Bull’s sister F1 team RB this season after four races. The Australian driver is under immense pressure to pick up his performances or risk being ousted for rising star Liam Lawson.

Ricciardo’s lackluster performances have raised concerns among fans and experts alike. Despite his experience in Formula 1, he has been outperformed by his teammate Yuki Tsunoda in all four races this season. Tsunoda has not only qualified better but has also brought home all seven of RB’s points so far.

The 34-year-old’s future with the team is now uncertain, especially with Liam Lawson waiting in the wings for his chance in F1. Lawson, a highly-rated youngster, has been impressing in the lower categories and could be the perfect replacement for Ricciardo if his struggles continue.

Ricciardo’s crash on the first lap of the Japanese Grand Prix only added to the speculation surrounding his future with the team. With Lawson standing close by in the RB garage, the moment seemed like a foreshadowing of what could come next for the Australian driver.

Despite the mounting pressure, Ricciardo remains optimistic and dismisses the notion that his crash was related to his struggle for form. RB plans to give him a new chassis for the next race in China in the hopes that it will help him find his form and turn his season around.

As the competition heats up in the F1 world, Ricciardo will need to step up his game to secure his place in the team and prove that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level. With Lawson waiting in the wings, the Australian driver’s future hangs in the balance.
