Was he so bad? Yuki having only two points hints at a problem with the car/team, no?
That's how I feel. It's a shit car. Is Danny going to be able to do better? Alpha Tauri hasn't exactly been topping the rankings, and seems to have gotten worse of late. It feels like they're being a bit too cutthroat on with this decision.
Points hardly ever tell the full story.
Tbh I think they are testing if Ric would be a fit for RB
Probably that and the fact that de Vries is clearly wasn't gonna make it into the main team. However, they knew that before signing the contract.
His start of the season was horrible, but I feel like his bad form was much less noticable the last couple of days.
That being said, they need someone at Alpha Tauri to keep Perez sharp, and it was clear that De Vries was not going to be that guy.
