168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo says he would be happy to stay with RB for a second F1 seaso🐎n, even if it means missing out on a Red Bull drive.

The whole premise surrounding Ricciardo’s F1 return in the middle of last year was to eventually end up back at Red Bull alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

So far at least, it’s not worked out for the eight-time grand prix winner, who has been comprehensively out-performed by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

Ricciardo’s immediate future is uncertain with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson on the sidelines.

The Australian will need a quick turnaround in the upcoming races to ensure he doesn’t face the same f🥂ate as Nyck de Vries.

I🐈n an interview with , Ricciardo - for seemingly for the first time - stated that he would be fine sticking with RB for next se💛ason as he’s simply “enjoying the driving now”.

“As I feel today, yes,” Ricciardo said🌞. “I'm enjoying the driving now; it's not so much result-driven. Obꦕviously, I don't want to just be here to be here; I want to earn that seat and the team is hopefully further up.

“🀅So yeah, I guess it goes both ways. I mean, t♑he answer is yes. But is it more fun fighting at the front? Is it more fun fighting for podiums and wins? Absolutely.

“And the truth is, if I draw a line under it and I speak about myself in the third person: Why did Daniel Ricciardo return after a few months off last year? Because I beli✅eve I can stand on the podium again. I can win races again.

“Ultimately, that is it. The belief is there… As long as that belief is still there, I think I'll be happy being here. But when I eventually do hang it up, I would love to have s♔tood💧 on the podium a few more times.”

Ricciardo’s f🅺in𒁃est performance since returning to F1 was in Mexico - qualifying fourth before finishing seventh.

The 34-year-old wants to “remind” people that he still has what it takes to perform𝓀 in F1.

“I want to🍸 make people proud and I want people that support💦 me to feel proud of what's going on,” he added.

“It's not even proving anything; it's just that you want to remind people—I want to remind some people that two races are not career-defining. I'm not in a bad place. I'm not coming from a lack of confidence. Just all this,🌱 whatever, it's like yeah, you want to remind…

“In 2018, on my helmet for ⭕a little bit, I put some m🦩essages on the back of my helmet. I had ‘remind these cats'. People forget, you know… I want to prove it to myself that I can do stuff like I did in Mexico last year, just on a consistent basis.”
