168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo has been questioned about a bold comment from Helmut Marko that suggests he might lose his F1 drive.

Ahead of this weekend’s F1 Austrian Gra🥀nd Prix, the home race for Red Bull, Marko dropped a bombshell quote that suggests Ricciardo’s days in th𝐆e RB are numbered.

Marko told  about Ricciardo: "The goal was that he would be con🗹sidered for Red Bull Racing with exceptional performances.

“Thi🀅s seat now belongs to Sergio Perez, so this plan i𒁃s invalid."

Marko said about the RB F1 team: "Yo🐼u'll have to put a young driver in there soon. That would be Liam Lawson."

Ricciardo reacted in Au♏stria: “I’ve become really good at not reading things. I actually didn’t know about it until I was told when I got here. Look… it’s… I don’t feel one way or another about it.

“I still know that the overriding thing in this sport is performance, and that’s it. That’s what will give me my best chance of s🐼taying here, I know that.

“It’s not going to be my smile or anything else. It’s the on-track🃏 stuff.

“I’ve obviously got a good opportunity, obviously I say until the summer break, I don’t think that’s a deadline, but that’s obviousไly where you look at for the first half of the se🦂ason.

“I look back at Barജcelona, and it’s hard to get excited about a 15th, but actually I was really hap🐈py with my race. So I would say it’s at least now two better weekends in a row.

“Thဣat’s what I’ve certainly had tr𝓰ouble doing this year, is having a kind of string of good results. Two is not enough of course, at least for where I want to be.

“Now we have two more ahead. I definitely꧃ have a chance to get into the summer break with soꦿme momentum.

“And on t🐬he Helmut stuff, yeah honestly, it’s fine. It dꦜoesn’t change what I’m going to do.”

Ricciardo impressively tested a Red Bull la🌳st year, which was enough for the team to throw him into AlphaTauri as a full-time replacement for the under-performing Nyck de Vries.

Ricciardo then got injured and Lawson impressively deput🦹ised.

Th💙is year, Ricciardo has underwhelmed and Lawson𒅌’s upcoming test of a 2022 AlphaTauri at Imola looks ominous.

Ricciardo was asked if he’s worried: “No, no. Also, so I believe it’s been planned for a while, but in any case, it’s one of those ones where also, I think the ♕older you get, you understand that control the controllables.

“If Li🍬am goes and has an amazing test, like 100%, good for Liam, I’ve got no control over that, nor do I wish him poorly, no🎶t at all.

“I think I’m currently in the race seat, so I’ve got to do ev🐻erything I can to control the things t𒁏hat I can.

“If I kick ass here, if I kick as🍌s at Silverstone, then I think the narrative can change. I think I obviously have to own that and be on top of what 🐟I can do. Yeah.

“I’m sure qualifying fifth in Mꦇontreal made Helmut sm𝔍ile. If I can do that a few more times, then I’m sure I’ll make him smile.

“It’s still so heavily on perf⭕ormance, and yeah, just keep focused on that.”

What’s Daniel Ricciardo’s Plan B to stay in F1?

The veteran driver insis🅺ts 🦋he has not enquired about a move to a rival team.

“I would say no. I mean, I don’t know,” he said. “Not to be stubborn♒ or arrogant about it, but I’m not lo♋oking anywhere else.

“I’ve said it, I really do en💖joy being back in the family. I weirdly do enjoy sometimes a little bit of pokes from Helmut, because I think it’s also, it can also be a way ൩to get me a little bit fired up and try and get the best out of me. In short, no.”

Christian Horner, the ൲Red Bull team principal, has reportedly advocated for Ricciardo𝔉 in the past.

Ricciardo was asked if he’d received indication from ♈Horner that he might൩ be cut.

“No, like, I haven’t heard anything,” he said.

“There hasn't been🐬 any pressure, ultimatum, nothing like tha🍷t.

“But I’m also, I’ve been in the sp🍰ort a long time, I know that if I get my ass kicked every weekend, at some point, someone w✱ill be like ‘hey mate, step it up, otherwise…’ but I haven’t had that.

“But, as I said, 🅘I’m aware that having a good race every so often isn’t ꦐgood enough, but also not where I want to be. I don’t want to have an odd high and a bunch of lows.

“I’m the one in th🦹e car and I’ve got to push that rig𝓀ht throttle a bit harder.”

Ricciardo’s choice not to pursue a Plan B, if he is dropped by RB, could backfire if other seats are filled up and he iඣs left without a drive for 2025.

But he isn’t concerned.

“No. No. I sound casual, I don’t want to🌸 be casual about it, because obviously I care a lot,” he saidꦏ. “But I don’t know.

“Maybe I’m at a point where it’s jusಞt like, what will be will be.

“I’m just going to put eve🐭rything I can on the table from an effort and performance, and if that is good enou🅷gh to secure me a seat, great. If not, then OK, I did everything I could.

“I think inꦡ terms of the musical chairs stuff, whatever it’s called, yeah, I think if I get focused on that, then I’m… I need to put all my attention here. Simple as that.”
