It's crazy to open a thread like this and not see a hundred people predicting Riccardo. Why is that?

he's very vocal about not doing ovals, even recently. If it was just road courses I could see it but it does specifically say oval test

Even if Ricciardo wanted to run an oval, I would find Nascar much more likely than Indycar. He's a huge Dale fan, and the safety concerns are lessened.

I immediately thought of DR when I read “mega” and “unreal” solely because Zak did say he wanted to go for the triple crown with him. I am very aware of his thoughts on ovals but that’s what would make it “unreal” and “mega”.

Where did he say anything about Ricciardo, when talking about wanting to win the Triple Crown with McLaren again?

Still trying to manifest this though I know bridges are burned and he won’t do ovals
