Sergio Perez being replaced by Daniel Ricciardo? Eddie Jordan isn't having it. F1
Sergio Perez’s seat is safe at Red Bull in Eddie Jordan’s opinion, despite the presence of Daniel Ricciardo lurking in the garage.
The Verstappen-Perez partnership was dubbed Red Bull’s greatest driver pairing by Christian Horner – even ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber – but cracks appeared at Interlagos last season when Verstappen refused to let “Checo” pass for some extra points, even with his Drivers’ title wrapped-up.
“There’s not a chance Checo Perez will be replaced by Daniel Ricciardo,” the Irish pundit and respected motorsport expert told“Checo is a darling in that team. Remember what Checo does, he is brilliant foil for Max, he is strong, he can win when he needs to win, or when he has the chance and opportunity to win. There was a bit of a kerfuffle between the two of them, and the opportunity to be second in the championship was a different issue.
“The biggest thing Red Bull have is continuity. They will not want to change that. Ricciardo has been there before, he knows he doesn’t have to be given special treatment, he knows how the team operates, the same people were there; Christian Horner and Adrian Newey.
