[Saba Sports News] During the F1 summer break, Red Bull Racing announced that Sergio Perez would remain as the main driver, quashing rumors that Red Bull was considering replacing the underperforming Perez with Daniel Ricciardo. This season, Ricciardo has gradually shown his true form at AlphaTauri (formerly Toro Rosso), but Red Bull has not given him the opportunity to return to the main team this season. For Ricciardo, opportunities are becoming scarce. Recently, in an interview with the media, Ricciardo was asked whether he hopes to have a chance to race alongside Max Verstappen in the future. Ricciardo sincerely replied, “Yes, of course, I would love to have that opportunity, but I know I need to earn it myself rather than wait for someone else to give it to me.” In my opinion, Perez’s performance at Red Bull has had its highs and lows, with inconsistent form. Ricciardo, having struggled at McLaren, still has a lot to prove at AlphaTauri. Let’s hope both drivers can perform well after the summer break.
