“I don’t kno🃏w how I’m continuing to continue,” he emotionally said after another dra♔b finish in the US.
“I have 🉐no idea what to say. Honestly, it’s just 2022. When you think it can’t g𝔍et worse, it does.
“That’s where, I don’t know, I don’t know how I’🤪m continuing tℱo continue.
“‘It’s painful’ is an understatement.
“It’s been the year that it’s 💧been. Just so far off the pace, I simply can’t lean on [the car], I can’t push, can’t get the time out of it.
“The inconsistency through the lap times, it shows th🅘at it really is a struggle, but to have such a really big margin [to Norris] again it remains a mystery🐎.
“I love𓃲 Texas, I love Austin, but that race was not enjoyable♋ for me.”
Ricciardo arrived on 🎃horseback sporting his trademark grin but the weekend soon turned sour in the worst season of his career which could yet cost him his long-term F1 future.
