The European football championship is widely considered the most prestigious tournament in European football. Recently, RB pilots Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda expressed their opinions on who they believe will emerge victorious in EURO 2024. Both pilots are passionate about football and shared their predictions through a social media post, adding a touch of humor to their choices.
Daniel Ricciardo has established himself as one of the most skilled Formula 1 pilots since joining the sport. Throughout his career, he has achieved success with two different teams, winning a total of six races. However, his current performance with RB has been weak, as he has only nine points after nine races. Cleverly and humorously, Ricciardo selected England and Italy as the two teams that will reach the final. He predicts that Italy, the current European champion, will emerge as the ultimate winner.
Yuki Tsunoda, who is currently in his fourth season in Formula 1, has shown continuous improvement on the race track. Known for his speed and skill, Tsunoda has accumulated an impressive 19 points for RB this season, surpassing his teammate. For his prediction, the 24-year-old pilot chose England and France as finalists. He believes that England, the runner-up from last year, will come out on top.
Ricciardo and Tsunoda are determined to improve their performance with RB and have demonstrated the potential of Red Bull’s sister team to compete with the top midfield teams. As they prepare for the next race in Barcelona, they aim to maintain their strong form and earn more points for the team.
Recognizing his recent decline in performance, Daniel Ricciardo took full responsibility and openly discussed with the team. Currently ranked 12th in the drivers’ championship, the former McLaren driver admits that he needs to become more consistent and has accepted responsibility for his slower pace compared to his teammate. He also urged Red Bull’s sister team to invest in improvements and developments for the car, giving the drivers a better chance of achieving favorable results.
As the 2024 season progresses, Daniel Ricciardo is determined to narrow the gap between him and Tsunoda. However, his future with RB beyond the 2025 Formula 1 season remains uncertain as he has not yet signed a contract extension.
