McLaren F1 Daniel Ricciardo

Lando Norris has said “everyone expected more” from Daniel Ricciardo and has offered no sympathy for his teammate's exit from McLaren.

Every driver has to adapt to the scenarios that they're in and that's what I feel like I've had to do. I'm here to perform at my absolute best and that's about it. “If you want two people to be at the same level then you're not surprised.

Jost Capito, Williams Racing CEO and team principal, says the team is in "no rush" to make a decision on their driver lineup for 2023 despite speculation ...

If she is willing to do that, she will have our support." "We are working very closely with Jamie. "This is Stefano's view, and based on what?" "Also, with Nicky, he has improved a lot in the recent races. "We have no rush and we wouldn't take a decision till, at the earliest, after Monza. We handle our drivers very well.

After watching an interview where Ricciardo spoke about the split from McLaren and his possible future in the sport, Brundle claimed that Ricciardo looked “a ...

“I want to get back to winning,” Ricciardo told Ricciardo admitted that his phone had been ringing “a lot” during the break but he is yet to sign a deal with another team. “I haven't signed anything,” Ricciardo said. Under the right circumstances, the right opportunity, absolutely it's where I want to be but obviously I might not have every option available.” Daniel didn’t convince me in that interview that he wanted to stay on the grid, that he wanted to go to Alpine or anywhere else. I said yesterday if I was McLaren I would be doing the same thing because he’s struggling to get to pace and you can’t take that for another 18 months.

Ricciardo faces big F1 call that will define his career. He must avoid a familiar trap.

Because this will likely be the last big contract of Ricciardo’s career. “I want to do it in the right place. Haas doesn’t have the runs on the board to justify a gamble. Re-establishing his reputation and settling his trajectory are first-order issues. It’s also a manufacturer team, which brings with it certain prestige. And those are boxes he needs to tick. It’s often thought a Formula 1 driver is at their peak in their early 30s — though Fernando Alonso is attempting to change the game on this front — and he’s equipped with race-winning experience as well as intimate working knowledge of several teams, including the leading Red Bull Racing outfit. If I want to make that choice, I can. Instead it turned out the marriage was cursed, and while McLaren will go on without Ricciardo — though it has its own problems to face, having been unable to extract the best from its star driver and having delivered an uncompetitive car this year — Daniel is without a drive for 2023 and facing an uncertain future. Being sacked by McLaren could be an easy out for a driver burnt out. “So it’s really just a choice. It’s not enough to be at a good team; you must be at a good team at the right time, and you must have the right temperament to be a good judge of the right time to be at a good team.

Daniel Ricciardo's former F1 team has left the door open for the Australian to return after it was confirmed his time with McLaren will end this season.

"He signed a piece a piece of paper as well back in November and we've done everything on our end of the bargain to prepare him for Formula 1, and his end of the bargain was to either drive for us, or take a seat where we would place him for the next three years. Piastri was named as the second driver for Alpine after Fernando Alonso announced he was leaving the team at the end of the year for Aston Martin. "We haven't had those strategic discussions yet.

Oscar Piastri has put his reputation at risk and will be under a "huge amount of pressure" if he joins McLaren next season, while Daniel Ricciardo should ...

I don't know." But do you want to go back and try again?" But Oscar is a huge talent." "The best judge are Alpine, and he's already been testing there. If he goes to Haas, he's going to be loved. "I don't think Daniel was delivering what they wanted anyway," agreed Schiff. You want to go where you're loved. He is definitely one of those new generation who has proved how good he is." So while Alpine were still having conversations with Alonso and still keeping that seat for Alonso, Piastri's got to have his best interests at heart as well. That young man's development, going with Prema to give him a better chance of winning the Formula 2 championship, they have delivered absolutely everything. "As were the six tests he's had as well, 3500km of testing. Because you are walking away from the team that have nurtured you.

Following Daniel Ricciardo's shock McLaren F1 exit, the Australian racing driver has opened up on the possibility of rejoining the Renault family with ...

We'll see what feels right, and is right but it's purely going to be on where I feel I can be the most competitive." "Under the right circumstances, the right opportunity, absolutely it's where I want to be but obviously I might not have every option available." While speaking to Sky Sports F1, in an interview about his future in the sport, Daniel Ricciardo said, "I want to get back to winning.

Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner has backed his former driver Daniel Ricciardo to “find his mojo again” after it was announced that the Australian ...

But I wish him, obviously, all the best and I'm sure that ultimately the talent he has, and the qualities he has, will shine through.” I had the pleasure to race against him and the not so pleasurable side of getting beaten by him years ago, and I still think he has very, very much to offer. Horner gave his take on the driver that won for Red Bull in F1 and on the road to F1 as a junior racer. “I don't know the details, but I guess McLaren failed to extract the potential that he has. I mean, Daniel, he's in a privileged position as well, the career he's had up to now. I think he's still one of the best drivers. “I've been in that situation before. “Maybe I have too much empathy for a Formula 1 driver, but very saddened by hearing what's going to happen to Daniel. Sergio Perez and Sebastian Vettel also offered their support, the latter having said Ricciardo's qualities "will shine through". “It’s obviously a tricky one. “But I think it's always good to sit back sometimes, you know, and just enjoy the time. “I think Formula 1 would miss him, he’s a big character, he’s a big personality, and I don’t think we’re seeing the real Daniel Ricciardo at the moment, so it would be great to see him find his mojo again and hopefully find a reasonable seat in Formula 1 for next year,” said Horner.
