“He is not peꦚrforming to what he’s capable of,” ex-Haas boss Guenther Steiner said on the Red Flags podcast.

“In Singapo💧re he was out of Q1 while Yuki Tsunoda went into Q3 in the same car.

“I don’t think it would hurt him personally if he l𓃲eft.

“He’s 35. He can do🍎 other things, even in motor racing. He is a cool dude.

“He has done a lot of stuff and needs to be proud. He doesn’t need to feel broken. Move on with your ✃life, Danny.

“He made good money. Go to the ranch in Western Australia. ജGo there, retire there a bit. He doesn’t have to worry.

“Something will come. One door closes…”

Steiner has issued a reminder that his rece🙈nt struggles with McLaren and RB came after a glorious period which established Ricciardo as a top driver.

“He was 🃏a good racing car driver, he won races,” Steiner 🧸said.

“He was racing with Max and decided to move on. I🦄🎃t worked for a while.”

Steiner said of Rꦚicciardo alongside Lando Norris at McLaren: “Having a teammate who beats him…

“Like Nico Hulkenberg, when he was at Renault with Danny, he almost finished hi♉s career. Danny almost finished Hulkenberg’s career.

“But now look at Hulkenb🦩erg, h꧃e runs circles around Danny.

“This sport is so on the edge. The pressu꧒re which got toℱ Danny is that everybody was watching him.

“Maybe he wasn’t prepared for that.”
