In the next season Daniel Ricciardo he will not be present on the Formula 1 starting grid. The Australian, who for years has been one of the most popular drivers in the entire Circus, was in fact unable to find a starting seat for 2023 after the disastrous year he lived in McLaren . In the hope of being able to compete again in two years, the 33-year-old from Perth therefore contented himself with signing a contract as third driver with Red Bull. A significant step backwards for those who had left Red Bull at the end of the 2018 season with the intention of seeking glory elsewhere.
Analyzing the difficult two years lived with the Woking team – only partially softened by the victory of the Italian Grand Prix in 2021 – Ricciardo also drew an interesting comparison with his experience in Red Bull, underlining how a bad year does not necessarily correspond to less work done on the track by the team, on the contrary. “I think from the point of view of the effort expended it is the same – said Ricciardo, speaking on the podcast Beyond The Grid – I think that in McLaren we stay on track longer and this perhaps happens because we try to find a few tenths more than Red Bull, above all [durante] the last year or two“.
“There is always a lot of attention to detail – continued Ricciardo, highlighting in the meticulous analysis of each single parameter more a defect than a merit – it’s not that we failed to do things right because we stopped working early or were lazy. It was probably the opposite – he concluded – because sometimes we took too long to think and we tried too hard”.
