Dammmnnnnnn Son. I wonder what Renault would be offering Danny Ric though for him to move over to the team, considering if he actually goes over there.
It's a gamble. Red Bull might be in a worse position with Honda, and to put things into perspective, let's look at 2012 when Lewis left for Mercedes.
Back then, Mercedes' best finishing position in the races preceding his switch was 5th, and they earned a grand total of 6 points for the remaining 6 races.
Or remember when Vettel left Red Bull for Ferrari. Red Bull had multiple race wins in 2014, while Ferrari only had 2 podiums despite Alonso.
Both ended up being great career moves. Here's to hoping he won't suffer "an Alonso".
Next regulation change is in 2021 and they will keep a similar engine. Renault has a lower budget than the top teams. This won't be a Mercedes situation.
What the fuck? Was great knowing you Ric. At least knowing you winning races and getting on podiums frequently. That Ricciardo may not come back.
I'm the same. Honestly think he would've been better off sticking with RBR for another year.
Is there a chance this is a placeholder/temporary move for a session or so until somewhere more lucrative opens up, like Ferrari?
Watch Renault be quicker than RedBull next season cause Honda engine.
There are probably convoluted out clauses in the contract but I doubt Renault would sign him just to be a stop over.
Eh, is this official? As far as I know, all we know at the moment is that he is leaving RBR.
I can't see him joining Renault for competitive reason; unless they offered him a big bag of money and guaruanteed #1 driver for multiple years.
I actually hope he takes Kimi's seat at Ferrari.
He is too old for a Ferrari cockpit. Also there is someone there that doesn't like him. Plus they have the current #2 and #3 in the driver's championship, Ferrari won't switch drivers.
Chances are Red Bull wanted to cut his salary/not raise it which left him without options. I don't think he will earn much more at Renault nor will he be #1 driver with a Hulk who has basically built that team from the start. You don't become #1 driver in best of the rest teams, they need all the points.
I don't know if it's feasible, but maybe Danny to Renault for 2019, then a swap for either Kimi or Bottas?
No idea if that sort of this ever happens or not though.
Please read a bit more carefully, I was referring to the Renault-rumours, not him leaving RBR (which is official).
Alonso made that move because he got a shit ton of money for it and nobody else wanted him anymore for all his bitching and snitching (Ferrari and Mercedes). Ricciardo makes this move because he has no options left. How you go from a pre-contract with Ferrari to a save place at RB to a seat in a Renault is unbelievable. Not the best management.
It's not official but RaceFans are reliable and I haven't seen anyone disputing it. And where else would even be a possibility?
Lol at reactions, it's not like he was going anywhere at this RB with Max on his side. Too bad neither Merc nor Ferrari gave him the chance.
At least Alonso now has two options and one of them is having the chance to embarrass Honda live with millions of people watching.

Red Bull had made it obvious Max was their number one driver and you only win with works teams these days so moving to Renault is a bold but understandable move. All of the top team drivers contracts expire in 2 years time as well so unless he burns bridges Alonso style he'll have plenty of options when the regulations change.
Damn. Alonso with Mad Max. I would pay for that to happen. We would have 2007 Mclaren drama in our hands lol.
The idea seemed to be that Sainz might be bound for McLaren.
