MODERATORS
Maybe RB sees something in Daniel that we don't. Let's say he's been given the same car as Max, I doubt that DR would be anywhere near Max's performance.
Checo is an exceptional defensive driver, proven race winner this season too. Why gamble and replace him with a driver who left them years ago?
RBR don't want or need anyone to match Verstappen's performance. All they want from their second driver is to finish P2 in the championship. Perez is currently on track to achieve that, but Hamilton isn't too far behind him. Perez is probably safe for next year so long as he gets P2, but he can't afford another race like Suzuka.
Ricciardo is unlikely to be an upgrade on Perez speed-wise, but he'd probably handle the pressure better and have fewer race incidents.
