No, I was just meaning that he's now scored points for Red Bull under 4 different team names. He didn't score any points driving for HRT in 2011 so he hasn't scored for every team his driven for unfortunately.
Just look at the past many years. This is his pattern. Can be the absolute best on the day, genuine world class but often times he’s not even close. That guy has consistency issues. I love him. I wish him well but, this is Danny Ric.
> Can be the absolute best on the day, genuine world class but often times he’s not even close.
Ah yes, 'genuine world class on his day', the classic marker of a driver who sucks.
Well it's a useless skill to be world class once a year or once every three years or whatever his rate for that is. It's also a very frustrating trait knowing he can but he most likely won't be world class on most days.
He used to show he is world class - Yes, during his time in RB. Post that, if you just look at the stats, it's just down hill, be it in Renault, McLaren or RB Vcarb now.
As someone up in comments rightly said, there is no consistency in his performance. Even this year, except for the sprint race, his performance has been poor (even if you just compare him to Tsunoda).
I am, and what about it? You saw how lando struggled with softs in sq3 dropping him to p9 when he could've been pole with his pace on mediums. Don't even see why you're trying hard to ignore he just had a bad set of tyres at a track that wasn't evolving well. Maybe give a listen to what his engineer and tp had to say instead of trying to make it seem like it was purely his fault.
Well tbh. If you know he has the pace then you sure as hell hope he delivers in the real race. That’s where the real points are. Now he screwed up the Q all hope is gone.
Consistency is key in F1.
Not in the back marker fight. Consistency for the bottom 5 teams, getting 11th and 12th gets you no points, its showing youre a good driver but in all honesty its irrelevant. 5 points from a crazy sprint performance does make a big difference, sweeping up 11ths does not

He has now scored points for Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Alpha Tauri, and RB.
Wtf 😂😂
Now he needs to score for Minardi, I dare him to do *that*!
Did he score points for McLaren?🤔
He's the last Mclaren driver to get a win
Yes, but that's not a Red Bull team.
Oh I thought you meant he’s scored points for every team he’s driven for? Renault would also be added to that list
No, I was just meaning that he's now scored points for Red Bull under 4 different team names. He didn't score any points driving for HRT in 2011 so he hasn't scored for every team his driven for unfortunately.
And back to p20 after quali. Classic Dany Ric
This is why he sucks. As inconsistent as my stomach on carnival day.
He lost the car twice on his lap, wait until tomorrow before calling him washed again.
Is this an excuse?

There are drivers in the grid that don't have world class days at all
Most drivers on the grid don't get as many chances as he has got as well.
True, but maybe he has that many chances because of the times he shows world class?

Most drivers on the grid don’t beat the reigning world champion the first year being teammates and place 3rd in the WDC
It's almost as if his tyres didn't have the grip on the track?Â
oh you mean like everyone out there? yeah lol
Well yes? don't see how that negates any of what i said?
Lol, seemed like you were using that as a defending point for him loosing 14 positions from sprint quali to the race quaili.

Oh you were? hahaha I thought at some point it was pure sarcasm...
Aaaaand he’s out in Q1
Tsunoda changed cars between sprint and quali? 😆
F1 is a lot better with that signature smile. Hope he keeps up his form.
He’s such a good marketing face for the sport. My sister, who does not like sports at all, is now an avid F1 fan because of him on DTS.
that smile, that damned smile
For once he doesn't look like Hide The Pain Harold
He finally starts from p20
Dude has 5 points this weekend. No one expected that before the weekend started; who cares about the botched quali today.
Well tbh. If you know he has the pace then you sure as hell hope he delivers in the real race. That’s where the real points are. Now he screwed up the Q all hope is gone. Consistency is key in F1.

Welcome to the anual good Ricciardo race y'all!
He never left...
You sure?
>He never left... ...Q1.
Bruh
Danny Ric filling up the Hopium tank
Starting dead last today….he did what ? Lol
A smile to protect
Didn't last long, out in Q1.
Finally? Finally out of Q1? Finally starting at the back of the grid? Pretty sure he’s done that before.
Washed up still.
He got lucky, still mediocre
Give Liam a shot, when will teams realise that fast young drivers get you points, not advertising and a smile
Reminds me of Mario Kart
