Daniel Ricciardo's future with Red Bull's sister team, VCARB, is uncertain as he faces competition from Liam Lawson, who is expected to be promoted for the 2025 season. Ricciardo has struggled to match his teammate Yuki Tsunoda's performance, raising concerns about his position despite a recent series of point-scoring finishes. Red Bull senior advisor Helmut Marko hinted at a future for Lawson, emphasizing the team's goal to cultivate young talent. Ricciardo, however, remains optimistic and believes his performance can secure his spot, stating that 'performance is my best friend.' As the Dutch Grand Prix approaches, both Ricciardo and Tsunoda express confidence in their ability to compete, with VCARB aiming to fend off Haas in the Constructors’ Championship. The team is also set to introduce minor upgrades, hoping to capitalize on their momentum from the first half of the season.
