It's nice to see Daniel Ricciardo being supportive of his replacement Oscar Piastri at McLaren. He's a good bloke. F1
The Aussie reckons that although he struggled to get the results both he and McLaren wanted, the team still learned valuable lessons with him behind the wheel.“I think also even if we didn’t quite get it right from my side, with McLaren I think they still would’ve learnt a bunch from our two years, and maybe things where we deviated, went a little wrong or sideways,” said Ricciardo.
“So, I think all that, that knowledge can be passed on to Oscar and I think they will. I would like to think they will have a little bit of a head start from that point of view.”Piastri has shown himself to be a prolific talent in motor racing’s junior series, winning three championship titles in three seasons from 2019 to 2021.
He won the Formula Renault Eurocup in his second season, stepped up to Formula 3 and won that in his first year and then did the same in Formula 2. That’s three different cars but three repeat performances. As such there is a great deal of interest in Piastri and what he can do in his first season in Formula 1. That was only added to byAlpine insisted the Aussie was their driver for 2023 and even took the matter to Formula 1’s Contract Recognition Board. The CRB, though, ruled his only valid contract was with McLaren, the Woking team even orchestrating Ricciardo’s exit to make a seat available for Piastri.
The Woking team is calling for patience but Piastri’s past results seem to hint that it’s not really required – he can “just drive”.
