Ricciardo finished 11th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings for McLaren, drastically behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, in a torrid year where nothing went right.

He commanded the joint-fourth biggest pay packet in the list of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 salaries so McLaren opted to terminate his contract for 2023 and replace him with rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown could not explain to why Ricciardo’s decline happened: “We don’t know. We have certainly analysed it. We gave it everything we’ve got, Daniel gave it ev♑erything he💦’s got and our relationship with Daniel was great.

“It was clearly disappointing for both of us as to the outcome. I think it’s a great mystery as to why. I don’t think Daniel knows, we don’t know, we tried everything. Maybe we worked too har𝓡d.

“Ultimately that’s why we ✤both decided to makeꦜ a change because we had tried everything and we really didn’t know why it wasn’t clicking.

“So hopefully a change of environment for him [will mean] he’ll get his magic back because for sure he’s a magical guy. 𒈔You saw in Monza 𒆙what he’s capable of, and he’s done that seven other times. But we needed to make a change because we couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.”

Ricciardo will be the third driver for his old team, Red Bull, this year after rejecting opportunities to remain in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up.
