Danny Ric

What a legend. With his accomplishments and character, he left an immensely positive mark on F1 over the last 14 years.

Shame on Red Bull for the joke of a sendoff. What a trash organization at every level.

They did a lot for him, you've just gotta step back and see the bigger picture. He drove in 2023 and 2024 as his sendoff. His performance for the past 5 years did not deserve anything else, he was super lucky to have a seat.

Ric screwed RB back in 2019 when he left for Renault. Then he screwed Renault when he left for McLaren. RB gave him another 2 years in the car after all of the other teams said no thanks. You can't just go team hopping like that and not back it up with performance.

Adios Ric, hopefully he sticks around and becomes an announcer or something so we can still enjoy his character, but his current driving is pathetic. Time for another rookie to step in.

Hard to feel sorry for him, he earned a ton of money at Renault and McLaren, but shortened his career with poor performance.

At least we were not subject to more of his "shoeys"...

My hope is we see him in FIA World Enduro Championship. Would love to see him racing Hypercars. I feel pretty good that he can find another racing series if he wants.
