Daniel Ricciardo could have been axed after F1 Spanish Grand Prix, Red Bull boss Christian Horner says

ABC  

Daniel Ricciardo's Formula 1 season could have been over as early as June, according to Red Bull Racing's team principal. Ricciardo was axed by Red Bull's sister team, RB, following last month's Singapore Grand Prix with New Zealand young gun Liam Lawson to drive the final six race weekends of the year. However, Red Bull's team principal Christian Horner has told the F1 Nation podcast there were calls to axe the Australian from the RB cockpit after June's Spanish Grand Prix. Horner said Red Bull's hope was for Ricciardo to be ready to step-up alongside world champion Max Verstappen if Red Bull Racing's second driver Sergio Perez continued to falter.
