Daniel Ricciardo in 2021 he finally landed at McLaren, a team that had already sought him out strongly in 2018, when, however, the Australian preferred to accept the courtship of Renault. Ricciardo’s 2021 was not satisfactory, even if the victory in Monza remains a very important high point for the 1989 class and for the Woking team, which even celebrated a double in the Temple of Speed thanks to the second place of Lando Norris. Curiously, the 1-2 Monza of papaya-colored cars is the only one-two scored in this 2021 in which Mercedes and Red Bull have never managed to celebrate a similar result on the occasion of their 19 statements divided into 11 in favor of the Milton Keynes team against the 8 obtained by the Brackley team.
Ricciardo finished in eighth place in the drivers’ standings, managing to change pace in the second half of the season after a somewhat stammering start. “I don’t give myself enough – said the Australian, taking on the role of the professor to the microphones of GP Fans – in the first part of the season I was four, in the second seven, the result is a 5.5 in which I add that I didn’t spare myself and that I gave it my all ”.
The class of 1989 also underlines that he has drawn important lessons in this vintage about himself: “I learned what my strengths are. I had to fight with the car, which did not suit my characteristics, and in complicated situations I was able to cling to some certainties that I will now consider as my strong points. I know in what aspects I was able to be fast. I hope that the 2022 car suits my characteristics better ”.
