• Daniel Ricciardo's struggles at Visa Cash App RB are highlighted by teammate Yuki Tsunoda's superior performance, raising questions about Ricciardo's future with the team.
• Despite reports of a two-race ultimatum, ESPN sources deny its truth, but Ricciardo's position remains precarious with Liam Lawson and Ayumu Iwasa waiting in the wings.
• Liam Lawson, frustrated with his current reserve role, is open to leaving Red Bull for an F1 seat elsewhere, signaling his determination to race in F1 in 2025.
• Christian Horner and Red Bull have not dismissed the possibility of changes, with Tsunoda's impressive form and Lawson's potential putting pressure on Ricciardo.
