It must be stressed that both Helmut Marko and Christian Horner have dismissed suggestions that Perez will be replaced, so no change is imminent at Red Bull.
I think at this point the most likely scenario in this regard is that if Daniel seems up to what they’re looking for pace-wise in the tests he’s doing, they’ll look to slot him into Alpha Tauri next year with a view to having him firmly on deck if they wind up needing to make a change with Perez. Checo has definitely been underwhelming this year, but I think it’s only if he’s still underperforming next year that he faces the prospect of anything drastic. And on a similar line, De Vries seems like he’ll probably see out this year, but if things don’t improve for him then he’s who I’d expect to be moved aside for 2024 should they want to give Daniel a race seat.
I feel for DEV. He's has a tough time in his first full year, in a car that's barely capable of scoring points. Part of me thinks DRIC would be a really great mentor for Yuki.
