They clearly still have some faith in him to get a new chassis for China, but if he doesn’t perk up by Canada I’d say he’s gone… and I’m not seeing too many VCARB/Danny tracks coming up!!

There are no Danny tracks because he sucks in all of them.

Please explain how you know this when last year he didn't even race at a third of the races on calender.

That doesn't even make sense he struggled in 2022 due to the mclaren being an absolute shitbox that would always understeer. He has many tracks that he is great at, stop blindly following the Riccardo hate train.

The issue is not the McLaren being a shitbox, or being a car that doesn't suit his driving style. It's that his not outperforming his teammate, if the car is bad but he outperforms his teammate there wouldn't be any issue.

I don't understand what was the problem, he had a great 2020, and then he flopped on 2021, not beating Norris is somewhat okay, he's a great driver, but I mean, Tsunoda is not bad but I'm pretty sire Daniel from 2014-2020 would destroy him.

So yeah, he might have good tracks were he excels, but if he's loosing consistently to his teammate and only beats him in three tracks on the calendar, he won't stay for to long. You don't hire a driver for three races, you hire him for the year
