168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo replied to a comment ab🌳out being “past your best” through gritted teeth.

Ricciardo was in the airport in Perth heading towards this weekend’s F1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

🍰He was reminded about a critical rem♌ark from Alan Jones, the 1980 F1 champion who is also from Australia.

“Alan Jones said that maybe you are ꦜpast your best,” an interview from  askeꩲd Ricciardo.

“Have you got something to prove in the🥃 next fe𝓀w races?”

Ricciardo bluntly replied: “Not at all.”

He then ended the interview fairly abruptly.

Ricciardo was earlier asked if he was looking forwꦛard to his home race this weekend.

“Very much,” he said. “I missed it last year.

“So, getting ready for the week ahead.

“It’s been a steady, I’d say slow, start to the year. But it’s only🌟 been two races.

“Hopefully tꦉhe season starts on the r🍸ight foot in Melbourne.

“That will be the first one to get going.”

Ricciardo, now꧟ aged 34, has not enjoyed the best start to the 2🐭024 F1 season.

The RB dr🅠iver finished 13th in Bahr🔯ain and 16th in Saudi Arabia, hardly the type of results which will impress sister team Red Bull.

Ricciardo♛ en🍌tered the year hoping to be the man to replace Sergio Perez at Red Bull in 2025.

But Perez has twice finished as runꦗner-up so far this season.

Ricciardo, by contrast,🍒 bickered with teammate Yuki Tsunoda in Bahrain then was held up in a 40-second pit stop in Saudi Arabia.

The below-par results have now seen critics question Ricciardo’s future in F1 🌄▨altogether.

“He’s a magic guy to have inꦦ a team,” Eddie Jordan has ꧃commented.

“But that doesn’t give you the rig🎃ht to be the driver in the team and I am just worried that the end of the McLaren era was really something that stood out and I couldn’t s🐽ee where he’d lost it.

“There’🔜s been nothing since then that convinces me that I would wan🀅t to invest my hard earned sponsorship cash to keep Daniel.”
