Interviewed by formulas1.nlthe former driver expressed himself thus on the Australian: “I think maybe he has learned more from Daniel Ricciardoa nice guy with whom he got on very well – has explained – Max was a young boy and Ricciardo was really good, a beast in qualifying. I also think the car suited him well then, and I’m afraid that’s a bit of his problem now. The car does not suit him very much. There are things that don’t suit Ricciardo and that’s why he can’t stand out. The young guard, on the other hand, adapts more easily. You know: you don’t have to move an old tree. With some older pilots, and I am among them, a certain style has developed. This is difficult to change. A young person adapts more easily ”.
