Where did things start to go wrong for Daniel Ricciardo? Jean-Éric Vergne traces that back to the Red Bull exit. F1
‘ show, Vergne said: “It’s been a long time I haven’t talked to Daniel. When I was racing with him, he was clearly one of the fastest team-mates I’ve ever had.
“And although I find it sad the parting ways with McLaren, I also understand Zack Brown’s decision to make room for improvement for the team, understanding that it didn’t bring the result that the team was expecting.”With Red Bull’s star student Verstappen strengthening his grip on the team, it was understandable why Ricciardo thought his future would be better served outside of the Red Bull setup, though arguably Renault was not the right opportunity to jump at.
Ricciardo would put Renault back on the podium with a fair of P3 finishes in 2020, but would then take another leap of faith to McLaren this time, hoping they would be the team to deliver on their ambitions of returning to winning ways.
