Daniel Ricciardo did not show concern about Sergio Perez’s new two-year deal with Red Bull. Ricciardo, an Australian driver for RB, had a weak performance this season, earning only nine points. This may jeopardize his chances of securing a contract extension for the next season.
After the race in Canada, journalists approached Ricciardo to ask about his aspirations to join Red Bull. Unfortunately, this is now an unattainable goal as the team has decided to extend Perez’s contract. Despite this development, the 34-year-old driver stated that Perez’s extension does not affect his own hopes of returning to Red Bull.
Ricciardo admitted that he has not performed as well as he expected this season, except for a notable result in Miami. Due to his below-expected performance from the start, he believes his future prospects are now dimmer.
The Australian driver emphasized the importance of consistently improving his performance to achieve success. He remains hopeful that his performance will improve in the upcoming races, thus attracting opportunities for his career.
Despite approaching his 35th birthday, Ricciardo feels that his progress has been slower than expected. However, he remains optimistic and confident that the upcoming races will favor him based on the improvements he has made.
Ricciardo expressed his determination to reverse the situation in the upcoming races and his belief in his ability to do so. He is prepared to give his best and stated that he would be satisfied if the team decides to extend his contract for the next year.
Clearly, Daniel Ricciardo is giving his all for the team, despite facing numerous obstacles. The Australian driver seems to have no fear of failure and fans are eager to see him perform well, aiming for a top-five result and scoring points in the upcoming races.
