So apparently Ralph Schumacher let out that he knows for certain that Danny is replacing Nyck after the summer break. I found it in a Dutch article, so a url is not much use I think.
Obviously, this is still very much rumours at this point, but I wanted to post about it anyways.
I know Nyck is underperforming massively, and have no illusion that he will be driving next year. But replacing a driver mid-season is always a bit harsh. Especially when his home-race is the next one on the calendar…
This is what it’s smelling like for sure, though it doesn’t have to be just Yuki. Now that they have sim data on Ricciardo, comparing him with Yuki at the end of the season will help them get a handle of both, to see if they need to look elsewhere even.
