Ricciardo will leave McLaren at the end of this year after underwhelming performances - his contract was terminated a year early, and he is no longer guaranteed a spot in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up although rumours link him to Alpine and Haas.

But Sky🍃’s Brundle believes Ricciardo’s decision to leave Red Bull for Renault in 2018 put his back against the wall.

“He shouldn’t have left Red Bull, that’s ho൲w it looks to me,” Brundle said to Sky.&nbs🎉p;

“The Renault move was the wrong move for him. He didn’t fancy staying around w🐻hat he thought was Team Verstappen, which there was an element of truth in that.

“So it’s just played ouꦯt badly al✃l the way along, he has lost his mojo a little bit. 

“When I see Daniel starting outside the top ten anꦕd running o🍸utside the top ten all afternoon, that’s not him. That’s not where he’s at, we know he’s better than that. 

“I find that painful to watch, I can’t imagine how painful it has been for Daniel to be inꦦ that car falling backwards through the field so maybe it’s a blessed relief all around and he will come back and show his mettle.”

Ricciardo finished the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: F1 Belgian Grand Prix in 15th.
