Some spicy things Ricciardo said after Mexico (where he boycotted the traditional team photo) ... don't have a direct quote but it was something along the lines of that there's unexplainable things happening to his car on sundays, that he feels helpless and that he's fed up and will let Gasly drive the car since he doesn't see any reason to even be there on sundays
small things during the season pointed towards the divorce, the prolonged contract negotiation, remember the promo vid RB did with Dan showing up dressed casual with no RB logos on him, Horners comments about him winning Monaco was along the lines - it was Maxes win, Dan got lucky, Dan not wanting to even do the summer break testing with the car
the amount of problems we see him having, it's just way too much, and it wouldn't be better with him staying in the team either, they clearly have their #1 driver
this whole thing makes me see Webbers last years in the team a different way, and remember how Dan kept beating Vettel the last year Vettel was in the team, I just don't believe the team is neutral to both drivers and everything is equal, it just load of BS at this point
p.s. has there been clarification about the VER team radio about the adjustments on the engine, those messages seemed to indicate that pit box can do adjustments to engine without driver knowledge, the team even told VER that they did the necessary changes, that "we" might have of course mean team+driver, but it more sounded like we - pit crew, did all the necessary things for you - the driver, to feel comfortable etc
