Is it possible this is a test run for DR to see if he's fit to replace Perez next season, or is that a long shot? What's Red Bull's upside for putting him at AT for half a season?

My exact thoughts. It let's them put him back in the car without the immediate risk to the primary team.

I'm not well versed in driver moves. If Danny somehow does amazing is it possible for him to move to RB and Sergio to move the AT this season? Like a driver trade?

if danny does well he goes to RBR and Perez gets dropped. They wont put Perez at AT, no point, he's too old.

Pérez is six months younger than Ricciardo

RB contracts are “you drive for the organization, not a particular team” so they can basically do whatever with them between AT and RB.

I’m not sure that dropping them entirely out of a seat is part of that contract…
