Eddie Jordan thinks Daniel Ricciardo could not have resisted Max Verstappen better than Sergio Perez in 2023, who already has two victories to his name and also won the sprint in Baku. The two-time world champion has one more victory to his name, leading the individual standings, albeit with a relatively small lead of 14 points.
At the same time, David Coulthard believes that no one can beat Verstappen at the wheel of identical cars at Red Bull Racing.
“There is a generation of drivers in the championship now in their twenties who will be fighting for victories for the next ten years,” said the former Formula 1 driver, who took part in the Formula For Success podcast. – In fact, any of these guys, who have a car at their disposal with which they can win races, will be able to compete with Max. But competing with Max, talking to him in the same team, is already a more difficult task.
Max works like a machine, he grew up in a racing environment, both parents were racers. He is distinguished by aggression, strong will and he has an abundance of talent. Is it possible to imagine that someone could be behind the wheel instead of Sergio and seriously worry Max?
Eddie Jordan, founder and former owner of Team Jordan (now Aston Martin), who also took part in this podcast and developed Coulthard’s idea, suggested that it is beyond the power of Daniel Ricciardo, who will serve as reserve driver for Red Bull in 2023 would go. to race.
“I’ve thought about it more than once because Daniel is now in this team, but in my opinion he can’t handle things as well as Sergio,” said the Irishman. “We’ve seen Riccardo at work and while we all really like this guy and it’s great talking to him, Perez is doing exceptionally well at the moment.”
