Personally I hope not! Daniel Ricardo is my second favourite driver. Seems like such a nice guy. I hope Renault come good for him.
He does deserve to have a shot as being number one driver.
Supossed to mean a car following isn't as affected by the loss of downforce.
Time will tell I guess.
Daniel left for money and #1 driver status. He has a long life ahead of him. I can understand his desire for financial security. IMO, teams would be better off without 1/2 designations, but it is what it is. RBR would not put that on paper.
RBR Honda is coming to the party in 2019 ready to run. Look for Max to contend for the WDC if he can continue the maturation process. I’m confident he can at this point. He conducts himself very well in public now.
Any driver would have had the last outburst he had on the radio last race with the POS PU’s Renault has been supplying RBR.
If they upgraded the unit would they not have taken a grid penalty?
And they upgrade parts all the time but it’s not an excuse for poor reliability, especially at those costs.
Didn't run it due to packaging issues...
Sounds like McLaren's problems with Honda and Renault PSUs.
Interesting changes for next year for aerodynamics and increased sponsor exposure:

IMO, McLaren/Honda was far more of chassis design conflict between parties than RBR/Renault. Renault simply has written RBR off for the remainder of the season. The hostility between them is palitable.

Upgraded and offered to RBR to “Test” in the race. No thanks.
Watch it again and you’ll see a before and after, they don’t tell you that mind, but it does give any idea. They said that they haven’t released the wording yet so it is a bit of a guess now.
ok i did see the change. but that is still too many elements!
So Lance Stroll will be driving for Force India next year.

Should give them ample opportunities to try out new front wings during the season.
Missed? Not by Honda!Farewell Fernando. You'll be missed. Thanks for the memories.
Tbh I like him as a driver, but ultimately you'd have to review his F1 career as a series of poor team choices. He was hardly ever in the right team at the right time.
I think he is a great driver, but couldn’t unite a team like Schumi could. His break ups with McLaren and Ferrari were acrimonious to say the least. Very, very fast, and drove above the car. I guess we’ll see Sainz in the car next year, maybe with Lando Norris.
Agreed. He did find himself in less than ideal situations. It's a shame he can't go out in his Golden Years like Kimi. IMO he is deserving.
