168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo has responded honestly to fresh suggestions that his place on next year’s F1 grid is under threat.

Red Bull’s Helmut Marko has told about Liam Lawson: "Next year he will be sitting completely in ♌one of our cars.”

Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are contracted in 2025 for Red Bull, while sister team RB have tied down Yuki Tsunoda, leaving Ricciardo as the only driver without a confirme🔴d spot and therefore at major risk from Lawson.

“It’s okay,” Ricciardo said at 🐠Zandvoort ahead of this weekend’s F1 Dutch Grand Prix, where mahbx.com are in the paddo🍌ck.

“I still know that performance is my best friend. If I do what 💫I’m capable of, it puts me in a good position to stay somewhere in the family next year.

“Liam, I saw him drive the car last year. He did a great job and he’s worthy of a seat on the grid. In a way, ꦫI’m happy for him. He’s a d🌳eserving driver.

“What that means for me is unknown. If I perforꦯm, I’m sure they will find a spot for me somewhere.”

Ricciardo on snub from Red Bull

Red Bull clarified during the💜 F1 summer break that at-risk 🦩and out-of-form driver Perez would remain for the second half of the season.

That decision ended Ricciardo’s faint hope of replacing him in the car that has been his dream destination since returning to the 🍌grid a year ago at AlphaTauri.

Ricciardo said about awaiting a call to be promoted into the Red Bull: “I didn’t rule 🌊it out. I thought ♏maybe something could happen.

“But I didn’t expect it, or get my hopes up. I th🐼ought: ‘Let’s do what I’m doing, and if I get a call…’

“Obviously I didn’t get a call. But that🦂’s what I had mentally prepared mꦚyself for.

“I didn’t receive the call to say ‘you ﷽are changing’. But we still spoke.

“The week after Spa we were able to work. And I had a fiꦡlming day so I spoke to th🍷e team.”

Ricciardo hasn’t enjoyed the results ꦯthis year to clearly merit a move into Perez’s Red Bull, by his own admission.

“It’s clear that, since Montreal, I’ve done more of what was expected of me results-wise,” he said꧑.

“Keep doing that🙈, keep performing at ๊the level I can, things will work out.”

Will Ricciardo seek new F1 team?

Ricciardo insisted that, with his RB 2025 seat now at risk, he is not considering other teams to remain i🔯n F1.

“I am most happy being back here,” he said.

“Speaking of performance, it’s nice not looking elsewhere or ha🎃ving little distractions.

“It’s an all-in approach. I think that was get the most out of me. If that’s sti🍷ll not enไough? C’est la vie! It intensifies it but also simplifies it.

“It’s not coming from a stubborn place bu🎃t I don’t want to 🙈be anywhere else.”

The ex-McLaren d﷽river added: “I’ve done a bi♒t of jumping around in the past few years which can be tiring.

“I’ve worked hard to get back here. I don’t want to dismiss that✨.

“There is no next thing for me - this is it! I🗹 am appreciative of what they’ve given me.”

Howevღer, Ricciardo i𒉰s currently in the best form of his year. He scored points for just the third time in 2024 last time out, at the Belgian Grand Prix.

He admits that result is not enough for him to make demands to th🀅e Red Bull hierarchy.

“It’s definitely helped,” Ric🍷ciardo said. “I can𝕴’t be like ‘this is enough guys…’

“I appreciate it wasn’t over the cou💝rse of the first half of the season. My performances got better in the last part. I can’t say that it’s de🐎finitely enough.

“If I continue to do this over the next few, I can be l🍃ike ‘this is the real me’.

“It’s subjective to say if it’s enough. I’m not going to m🔴ake a song and dancꦜe.”
