Daniel Ricciardo has been having a tough time in the 2024 Formula 1 season so far, finishing in 13th and 16th place. The driver has been struggling with the VCARB 01 car and has not been able to match his teammate’s performance. This has led to criticism from various figures in the sport who believe Ricciardo needs to improve soon.
In Bahrain, Ricciardo and Tsunoda were in the spotlight for negative reasons, and during the recent Saudi Arabian GP weekend, the Japanese driver outperformed him. Many people in the sport are closely monitoring Ricciardo’s performances and believe that time is running out for him to deliver results.
In the Bahrain GP, the 34-year-old driver finished in 13th place, and in Jeddah, he dropped even further in the standings and ended up in 16th place. Tsunoda had slightly better results in the current season.
Eddie Jordan raised concerns about Ricciardo’s performance and believes he needs to improve. However, Ricciardo feels that the RB 2024 car has not been performing at its best in the first two races and believes there is room for improvement.
Ricciardo also believes that the car’s failures are hindering his progress. Despite the pressure he faces, there are still opportunities for him to turn the situation around and perform better. He has time to address certain issues and improve his performance.
However, if Ricciardo’s difficulties continue and he does not show improvement by the halfway point of the season, he may face the same fate as the former RB driver who was dismissed in the middle of the 2023 campaign due to poor performances.
