I agree with Ricciardo, very immature. This is the kind of behavior I’d expect from people in online lobbies, not professional athletes
Pretty shocking really
It must be incredibly frustrating for Yuki to witness team orders that further diminish his slim chances of securing the second Red Bull seat alongside Max. However, as Daniel pointed out, driving in an immature and irresponsible manner post-checkered flag, especially towards a teammate, is a clear red flag for that coveted second Red Bull seat.
Ricciardo has further to fall if he doesn’t prove his place. Yukis not doing himself any favours.
Yes, Yuki behaved childishly. And he should have let Ricciardo by quicker during the race. But Ricciardo should have given back the position before crossing the finish line.
Yuki behaved childishly
This is true.
And he should have let Ricciardo by quicker during the race.
But I don’t see why he should have done this. By the time Ric caught up to Yuki, we had almost reached the soft to hard crossover point. Swapping at that time for 12th place made no sense to me.
That’s just after the first race of a long season.
