There was an earlier article where horner implied that Danny had poor performance and strange habits on sim at first but made it sound like he was improving? Guess that was true, no way if he was terrible in sim they would waste time with him in AT… But I don’t expect much from Danny…we shall see if his spark is back and it was just the old mclaren.

This will be interesting if Danny can’t outperform Tsunoda. I really like Danny but I think people are going to be a bit surprised. Again.
By all accounts the AT is a disaster to drive and Danny already had a really bad time in a better McLaren.
I would hope they’ve had Danny in the simulators a bunch and have a reasonable expectation on his performance
While that’s probably true, Red Bull or rather Marko said not that long ago his sim work was not up to par.
Here’s to hoping he can perform decently at least!
Edit - funnily enough I just looked and now there’s a recent article where Horner says he’s extremely competitive on the sim lmao. Classic Red Bull.
