💬 “I’ve certainly accepted, if I’m not to be on the grid next year, I’m okay with that' Daniel Ricciardo admits he could face a year on the F1 sidelines in 2023 after losing his McLaren seat
Speaking after last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, the Australian admitted he is now braced for a year on the sidelines.
“I’ve certainly accepted, if I’m not to be on the grid next year, I’m okay with that,” said Ricciardo. “So I’ve accepted that I’m not going to do everything, or my [management] team’s not going to do everything, just to put me on the grid if it’s not right or it doesn’t make sense. “Obviously this year’s been challenging and if I am on the grid, I want to know that it’s a place that I can enjoy it and feel like I can thrive. An environment I feel I can thrive in.The eight-time grand prix winner said he would use the three-week break ahead of the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix to decide what he is going to do in 2023.
“Days like this certainly are pretty frustrating,” Ricciardo said after retiring from eighth place at Monza. “But give it 24, 48 hours and I’ll get over it and try to understand what’s best for next year.“Not in an overconfident or cocky way, but it’s not meant to be, then I’m totally okay with that. I’m not going to be too proud.
