Bruh Riccardio about as Italian as Chef Boyardee
Leclerc been Ferrari's golden child for years and he washed Vettel last year. I think Danny Ric is quicker than Sainz (not by much tbh) but Ferrari was absolutely not looking for another #1 driver. With Sainz they have a technically sound smooth operator and solid PR machine who speaks the language.
This move been rumored for months and is part of the reason why Ferrari low-balled Vettel. They knew they had their man.
If Sainz can't compete with Leclerc or if the team makes decisions that favor him, Sainz gonna be so happy to not be stuck in the midfield he's gonna just keep it moving and do his job.
If they bring in Danny Ric he's not gonna play that shyt and it's going to blow up.
Honestly the biggest loser here is Lando Norris. One of the most highly regarded kids on the grid and now he's gotta deal with the honeybadger every week.
