168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo is refusing to focus on his F1 future with RB as he looks to close the gap to teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

Tsunoda ha♈s generally had the upper hand over Ricciardo in 2024 across qualifying and the race.

The Japanese driver is 7-1 up in the qualifying head-to-head, 🐼and it’s a similar story on race day, with Tsunoda leading 6-1.

Despite Ricciardo’s struggles, he see𓆏ms under little threat of losing his drive for next year.

RB CEO Peter Bayer h𝄹as made it clear he’s happy with both drivers, indicating he’d like Tsunoda and Ricci🗹ardo to stay for 2025.

Even though Bayer is happy with Ricciardo, the former McLaren driver is desꦺperate to find improveme💛nts, conceding he’s frustrated with the performance gap to Tsunoda so far this year.

“I'll be honest, I haven't really given it too much [thought]," Ricciardo said of his future. 💝"So yes, th🌱at's great to hear. And yes, that would be awesome. But I want to be doing better consistently.

“I think, like today, maybe we do find something that, okay, that's why ♋I lost a bit here or there. But there will probably always be something, this is F1, and it's never perfect.

“So I just, I'm not happy with h🦋aving these gaps. I think that's what's frustrating me a bit. Obvi෴ously, the team has been great.”

Ricciardo remains upbeat about his chances of turning things ༒around.

The Australian tha♛nked the RB tജeam for being "really supportive" while insisting he's not going to get "too comfortable" either.

"They've been really, really supportive," Ricciard🍌o added. "And obviously, they know I can do it, but it's just been a bit more of a struggle this year to do it week in, week out.

"And that's really where my focus is now as opposed﷽ to getting too comfortable or exciꦿted about what the future holds.

"I want to be doing that. Whether that's 🧸car or me, just, I want to be doing better. And I said I didn't feel too bad today, but clearly it wasn't good enough."
