Yuki had mechanical damage, so Ricciardo's performance against him meant nothing. No thinking person considers a 15th place to be a good result for a mid field car.
Yuki didn't have mechanical damage during qualifying. The car didn't seem capable of great things at this circuit.thegreenhell said:
Haven't they previously said that Lawson's contract guarantees him a race seat next year, so they have to use him or lose him.
That makes sense, you can’t just leave the guy in limbo. If RB are not going to give him a drive, then someone else will,If not in F1 then at least in Indycar, FE, or Hypercars. He’d be a good second seat at Audi, alongside Sainz or Bottas.

Lawson has talent, but only a couple of GPs experience.
As for Ricciardo, it looks like he's out. I'd like to see him in Indycar next year, where I think he'd do very well. I think it's more likely he'd end up in WEC though....

Ricciardo only had one job- to replace Perez. He’s not pulled up any trees, Perez is now resigned, so goodbye DR.
100% this. He's blown his chance, if he'd spent the last year consistently outperforming Yuki he'd have been in the senior team. But for whatever reason he hasn't been able to.Shame as I have nothing against the bloke, hopefully he gets a good opportunity in Indycar.

sprint qualifying another terrible result, no idea if he had a problem but out in q1.
So... in SQ1 Danny was less than 8 one hundredths behind Hamilton, who was 12th, and 0.024 behind Yuki.I think the word "terrible" is a bit OTT, TBH.
