Daniel Ricciardo has likened his struggles at McLaren to the situation Sebastian Vettel has experienced at Aston Martin in the lead-up to his retirement. F1
Daniel Ricciardo has likened his Mexican Grand Prix P7 to Sebastian Vettel’s recent “phenomenal races” that have pundits and fans alike asking if he is retiring too soon.While the German has decided to retire from the sport, his lacklustre Austrian Grand Prix said to have been the final straw, Ricciardo has found himself without a race seat.
He responded to those suggesting a year on the sidelines would not lead to a 2024 comeback with a ‘Driver of the Day’ performance at the Mexican Grand Prix.. “It’s hard when you can’t do it week in and week out. “Even the points finishes, even probably last year, I feel we were normally defending rather than attacking. So just to have an attacking race, and especially for me with this car to feel like I can attack a little bit more with it, it’s just a nice feeling.”As the saying goes, ‘one swallow doesn’t make a summer’, and one Driver of the Day-worthy performance doesn’t make a Honey Badger back in form.
The Austin race was arguably the lowest point in what has already been a season without much to cheer about.
