    Totally agree no one want to be designated second best, just look at Webber, bottas, Rossberg, Barrichello! All great but just shells of themselves at the end! Look at how much life bottas seems to have after leaving Merc! Would be sad to see happy and bubbly ricciardo turn into that, but could see him enjoying a few years back near the top before retiring/ contract ending before the next reg change in 26

      Yep exactly, but at the same time you would be driving for the clear number 1 team in the grid right now, there is no refusing that, even if you are putting yourself against the current best in the world (IMO) on the other seat.

      I hope it will work out for whoever replaces Perez, if they even replace him. Right now AT has confirmed Ric is back, so it is not boding well for Checo
