Formula 1 fans have delivered their verdict on whether Daniel Ricciardo deserved to lose his seat at RB to Liam Lawson. 

It was confirmed last Thursday that Ricciardo will be replaced by the Red Bull reserve driver for the remainder of the season. 

Ricciardo losing his seat is a decision the majority of F1 fans agree with, although it is the timing of his departure which has split opinions. 

In RacingNews365's poll as to whether Ricciardo deserved to be dropped at RB, 60.67% believe that he did. 

However, 39.01% voted for him to have been replaced at the end of the season, whilst 21.66% voted that bringing Lawson in after Singapore was the right decision. 

On the flip side, 34.79% of voters believe Ricciardo deserves to keep his seat, with 4.54% being unsure whether the 35-year-old should stay or go.
