people who kicked up a fuss about possible cheating between red bull and VCARB are unserious individuals. Like I can't even bring myself to consider that they function under the same umbrella??? my brother in christ I watched Jonathan Wheatley find a way to unretire Perez after he crashed into 4 different drivers in 15 laps, got him to serve his penalty so it doesnt overspill into the next race even tho his car had 25% of a sidepod left, was hitting a top speed of 12 metres an hour ALL WITHIN THE MEASURE OF 10 MINUTES. VCARB can't even put their pussy into a protest to get their driver to serve the penalty in the sprint race, there is no collusion here- Jonathan Wheatley would have found a typo that rendered a clause disjunctive-> get rid of the penalty all together and force the FIA to pay him alimony for 6 months.

#we keep saying he’s the silver boy#but fact is#he is as golden as the other two golden boys#it’s just that his shine is a bit dull and tarnished:(((

why would you do this to me?????? :((((((((((((

The day I watched Christian Horner almost pushing Sebastian - his first golden son - almost out of the way, not even stopping to give a cursory congratulations on his second place, to pick Daniel up and look at him with such wonder and disbelief, was the day I knew he was nothing less as golden and gilded as the other two sons who did win world championships.

I know people always talk about Baku being the impetus behind Daniel leaving Red Bull, but for me Monaco was truly the turning point.

Daniel standing on the steps of the Red Bull energy station in Monte Carlo as Helmut Marko essentially told him Red Bull would never win a championship with him and Daniel realising he had to leave. He probably knew he had nowhere else to go, but he also knew he couldn’t stay back. And yet for Christian, Daniel winning Monaco probably made him think Daniel wouldn’t leave now. Look what they’d done with an ailing car! Think of what they could do together with a better car!

Which is why almost three years later, as Daniel was struggling in that McLaren, as he was about to be lapped by his much younger teammate at a track where he had experienced the highest of highs, Christian Horner would clasp him on the shoulder and lean close just to tell him, ‘I’ve watched some of that race recently.’ And Daniel, with the weight of all the wasted years pressing down on him, with him thinking if it couldn’t be me, I’m glad it’s him - because at one point in time, no one could have argued against the certainty that it could be him - would just smile and nod. And maybe for a brief moment there, he had the fleeting thought, ‘can I come back home?’

There’s this one twitter account that tweets like it’s the 2014 season and for every race of 2014 that they cover, there are invariably comments about how that Daniel Ricciardo guy would be world champion one day. The comments are obviously a bit tongue-in-cheek and ironic, because ten years later, Daniel hasn’t won a championship and will never win one.

And yet it’s funny, especially in today’s f1 media ecosystem where just about any driver gets championship shouts, because Daniel truly deserved every single championship shout he ever got.

Imagine someone going to Verstappen’s team now and him resoundingly beating Verstappen. It’s unthinkable and yet that’s what Daniel did. He went into Seb’s team, the Seb who was coming off winning four consecutive championships, and beat him soundly on his own turf. And whether people now like to argue it was because Seb couldn’t adapt to the new regulations or he was already checked out because he wanted to go to Ferrari, Seb’s humble admission that he had the not so great pleasure of being beaten by Daniel shows that it was won fair and square.

We truly forget just how special his 2014 season was. His first time in a competitive car and he was right on it, somehow managing to win races in that nascent period of merc dominance.

It makes absolutely perfect sense. Doesn't compel me though.
