Imo thats a pretty weird quote to publish. On one hand you have RB slyly referencing something they usually dont mention because they have no say in it - their driver lineup being decided soon. And on the other hand it's a preemptive attempt to counter arguments that Danny helped Max.

it's a preemptive attempt to counter arguments that Danny helped Max.

That's all it was. It means literally nothing for Ricciardo's record or even RB since the point won't be awarded anyway

It helps Red Bull and Max to deny that point from Lando. They didn't ask Yuki to do this when he also had a pitstop gap over the next car!

The point is that Red Bull isnt supposed to use their second team like this to help their first one out
