    The most interesting part of that article to me is reading that Danny’s time in the tire test was only 7 tenths off of Max’s pole time. That would have placed him 8th on the grid. For someone that hasn’t been in a car this year, that’s crazy.

      TBF Devries also looked good after one drive, and hulk always did well as a super sub

      Everyone is willing to risk more when there is more at stake

      Also he has been driving the sim pretty consistently, so he has that benefit as well

      Let’s hope he can deliver under pressure like the good old days

      The tyre testing is likely also driving to a delta, so it’s possible that Red Bull sees Daniel’s consistency and ability to keep to a delta and extrapolate what he’d do at full speed including his sim performance.
