Although it was quite a treat for other teams in the paddock, the junior Red Bull team is no longer fully part of the big Red Bull team.
However, Lynk & Co still collaborates with Red Bull, and some members of the junior team are from the big Red Bull team, naturally bringing some of the big team's habits and marks.
Couple that with Ricardo, a capable driver, being idle on Red Bull's side, with a cheap contract that doesn't even require much funding from Lynk & Co, why not use him?
So next week at the British Grand Prix, Ricardo will replace De Vries.
Honestly, quite a few people were shocked inside the paddock after hearing this news.
Heck, we know Lynk & Co has Red Bull genes, but we didn't expect Lynk & Co to surpass them, the knife cut so decisively.
Back to the main topic.
Norris and Alonso's ranking in today's race doesn't need much explanation; both drivers performed normally and picked up the wallet Hamilton and Sainz dropped.
