Before the summer break, Red Bull Racing decided to keep Sergio Perez in the team until at least the end of the season, and accordingly the Visa RB line-up also remains unchanged.
Daniel Ricciardo in particular will have to give up hope that he will ‘go for promotion’, although it must be admitted that his results this year have rarely given cause for optimism.
“Of course I didn’t rule out such a development of events,” the Australian told the press in Zandvoort. “I don’t want to say: ‘What are you saying, no, no!’ I thought that maybe something could happen, but I didn’t count on it and I didn’t have much hope.
I knew that some changes were in the pipeline, but I preferred to mind my own business, and if a proposal was suddenly made to me, it would be made.
It is clear that I did not receive any offer, but maybe I was psychologically ready. So for me, not much changes. Nevertheless, I continue the negotiations with the team. After all, the week after the stage in Spa, the summer holidays had not yet started, we continued working, so I had the opportunity to communicate with the team.
“In terms of results after Montreal, I was already more in line with what the team expected of me, and I intend to continue this work. Speed on the track and results are always the most important. Of course, I have to figure this all out myself and then it increases my chances of staying in Formula 1.”
