Daniel Ricciardo has been outperformed by his teammate at VCARB, Yuki Tsunoda, throughout the current F1 season.
The world of Formula 1 has been dominated by controversies that have arisen this year. Despite the drama, the drivers of the Milton Keynes-based team and VCARB have remained focused on their performance on the track. However, things have not been going well for Ricciardo, as he had a terrible weekend in Saudi Arabia. Former team owner, Eddie Jordan, gave the Australian driver a harsh reality check.
Ricciardo returned to the F1 grid last year with the sister team of [TRADEMARK]. He had the ambition to return to Milton Keynes. However, the last two races of the 2024 F1 season have been disappointing for him.
Eddie Jordan recently discussed Ricciardo’s difficult situation and stated that he has a pleasant personality in the paddock. However, that alone cannot save him from being replaced. Like all drivers in the sport, he needs to perform. Furthermore, there is a possibility that he could be replaced in a similar manner to what happened in 2022 by McLaren.
Ricciardo was expected to be the main driver at VCARB this year. However, his season started challenging. With a series of poor performances, he received a warning.
The 80-year-old veteran of the sport emphasized that 2024 is a crucial year for both VCARB drivers.
The dynamics within the paddock have changed significantly in the last year. Ricciardo was brought to the Red Bull sister team to deal with the leadership crisis at VCARB and seek a prestigious position within the Austrian giant.
Cependant, Tsunoda a pris l’avantage sur Ricciardo lors du GP d’Arabie Saoudite. En tenant compte de tout ce qui a été discuté, le prochain week-end du GP d’Australie sera l’occasion parfaite pour Ricciardo de commencer enfin sa campagne de 2024. De nombreux regards seront tournés vers lui à Melbourne.
