Daniel Ricciardo has expressed that he is exerting his utmost effort before attributing his struggles this season to the car. The Australian driver has not been meeting expectations since the beginning of the season, allegedly due to various issues with the RB vehicle. Ricciardo’s notable achievements so far include an eighth-place finish in Montreal and a fourth-place finish in the recent Miami Sprint race.
When speaking to the media, Ricciardo acknowledged that his performance can vary despite his belief in luck. There are times when the 34-year-old has a stellar weekend, while other times, the new upgrades made for the race in China do not yield the desired results.
Ricciardo emphasized that he is giving his utmost effort and utilizing his abilities before considering other factors that may impact his performance. He is determined to focus entirely on self-improvement and taking responsibility for his own performance, rather than attributing success or failure to luck.
In recent successful performances, Ricciardo seems to credit the new chassis introduced in China for his promising weekend. This change played a significant role in his fourth-place finish in the Miami Sprint race.
Despite implementing effective changes, Ricciardo still acknowledges a lack of consistency in his performance. Nevertheless, he believes he possesses the skills necessary to achieve impressive results and stand out on the track. However, for the majority of the 2024 season thus far, he has struggled to match his teammate Yuki Tsunoda’s performance.
Undoubtedly, Ricciardo maintains an optimistic outlook regarding his potential to deliver better performances and contribute points to Red Bull’s sister team. Fans are eager to see him overcome the challenges he has faced and admire his positive attitude and resilience in difficult situations like these.
