Deluded too, with Ricciardo getting points and podiums along the way it's unlikely Max would have won in 2021against Hamilton.HustleRussell said:

My immediate thought when Ric was resigned was to deflect attention away from the toxicity of RB.This comment is unsurprisingly expected :- Horner: "...But Daniel is such a great personality and big character. We felt it was right to bring him back into the team – and of course promotionally, he's got the biggest smile in Formula 1..."
'We were so good together'
'Then you "did something stupid" and left'
'Didn't work out, did it?'
'Oh well, you're back now where you're safe and warm'
'I always said you have a pretty smile'
If this was a romantic relationship, this would be considered creepy, controlling and manipulative behaviour.
Horner makes my skin crawl.

I think the team does tbh - just a really odd bunch up to and incl Newey, whose genius is not in doubt, but, oh I dunno, who said of Michael Howard 'There's something of the night about him'?'Then you "did something stupid" and left'

You'd not have a pint with them, would you?

Not a hope of that. RB have always operated a number 1 and number 2 in the team, this is not Mercedes here.Danny was of the mindset he is a potential WDC, RB have told him that he will always be number 2 to Max, who he was beating up until that point in time. Would you have stayed? I certainly would not.
Now, Danny is looking for less stress but to stay in the F1 fold. Only way to do that is as a reserve driver of some sort. RB offered what he wanted.

he should have stayed at RB. Certainly looked to have the talent to have a stab at the title if the stars aligned for him. Decent of them to throw him a lifeline after the last two years. Really hope he can find his form.paulguitar said:

He could clearly see he wasn't going to get equal treatment there. Very different from the situation at Merc.If they looked at the data and thought Ricciardo was a better bet, why wouldn't they behave so ruthlessly to Verstappen and not given him equal treatment.
He came up against an Alien and he knew he didn't have the minerals for the fight.

The numbers don't lie. Danny saw the writing on the wall and rolled the dice.Pflanzgarten said:

All the data and results showed Ric was the better and more controlled driver until RB put their efforts into designing the car for Max and his banzai bs approach to racing.

As easy as it is and I am guilty of this numerous times of saying RBR enjoy their Golden Boy drivers publicly it is also an old ploy to create a rivalry to push drivers to elevate themselves and this backfired with Ricc leaving.
In DTS Horner genuinely looked sad at losing a driver of Ricc's calibre, even if Ricc's form dropped after Baku. Horner relished having two top drivers in his team and RBR has never been in this situation before.

Australian Coulthard.
You say that like it's a bad thing.I mean, who would want to be a multimillionaire hotel owner, living in Monaco with a string of homes all over the world?
Or he could go down the way of Hunt, Gascoigne or other athletes that threw away what they earned.
