F1 fans clamour for Ricciardo return as Perez SAVAGELY mocked online
Sergio Perez's Q1 exit at Silverstone has sparked a hilarious reaction from F1 Twitter, many of whom are calling for fan favourite Daniel Ricciardo to replace him.
The Mexican driver is contracted until the end of the 2024 season, but after failing to reach Q3 in five consecutive races, the pressure is ramping up for Perez.
With the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Yuki Tsunoda and Alex Palou all alternative options, Perez needs to step up his game in order to avoid an early dismissal from his Red Bull contract.
Should Perez lose his seat at Red Bull, Ricciardo would certainly be the most popular replacement and that was reflected on Twitter as the reactions to Checo's Q1 exit filtered through.
