RB team principal Laurent Mekies has conceded 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo’s exit from F1 was “not ideal”.

Ricciardo bowed out of F1 👍following the Singapore Grand Pr▨ix.

Rumours were rife💜 heading into the weekend about Ricciardo’s fu💫ture, but crucially, nothing had been announced by either VCARB or Red Bull.

Riccardo’s ultimate F1 exit was announced following the Singapore GP🌳, approximately a week♌ later.

It meant that Ricciar𒁃do wasn’t able to have a traditional farwell.

Speaking in the💃 FIA press conference in Austin, Mekies admitted it was a frustrating situa🍎tion.

“It was frustrating and yes you’re right it was not ideal to go through the weekend in that way, first of all for him on a professional and personal level, and for the whole team aroun♚d him,” Mekies said.

“We did have discussions before the weekend. For many different reasons we chose together to go into that weekend without announcing. 🎃From that point onwards we had to deal with it.

“It’s a decision in hindsight we may or may not do differently but it’s something we were both, the team and the drivers, were onb⛎oard to go through t🧜hat now.”

Mekies feels that Ricciardo was still given a great send offꦚ though.

“I think in one way or another, we all found a way to exprꦆess how much lov🐻e there is from the sport to Daniel, from the fans to Daniel,” he explained. “I don’t know if it would have been better or worse.

“Certainlyও different, more traditional. I can hopefully say that the amount of love and empathy we felt through that weekend was something else and something that shows he’s bigger than an F1 driver. He’s bigger than F1.”
