It might have been his tire test in the RB19 that clinched the seat:

"What is not mentioned is which tyre compound that was set on, with Pirelli having brought the C1, C2 and C3 compounds to Silverstone, meaning there were two more grippy compounds in their range, the C4 and C5, which Ricciardo could have potentially used to clock that lap."

saw and read about that, RB is at times ruthless, probably should have never hired De Vries. Now the question is on Perez. Thou with the current pace of Max, I do not know if any any number 2 could be close. Perez is not Max, and I think that is something they forget. Ricciardo, no idea if he would be close to Max. Guess the remaining races, will be interesting...
