Daniel Ricciardo has responded to Helmut Marko's recent criticism following the opening two races of 2024.
He needed team orders to out-race Tsunoda in Bahrain, while a lack of pace was compounded by a slow pit stop and clumsy spin in Saudi Arabia.
“It’s not annoying. A big part of our job… the most important part is the driving but a big part is talking to you guys, hearing when things go well everything is talking positively and when they don’t, they don’t talk so positively,” he said. “I do want to make people proud, the people that support me, but if someone says something, I know it already because I have told myself that, and I know what is expected from me. Of course, I want to be qualifying in Q3 and get the results I believe I can, but it's tight, we are in such a tight midfield.”2024 is a big year for Ricciardo given he has his eyes set onHowever, Ricciardo dismissed the notion that he’s solely focused on a return to Red Bull.
