Axed F1 driver tipped as perfect Sky Sports replacement for Damon Hill
Daniel Ricciardo suggested as possible Damon Hill😼 replacement for Sky Sports F1.

Johnny Herbert believes the recently-axed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo would be an ideal replacement for Damon Hill at Sky Sports F1.
1996 world champion Hill, who has been a key part of the punditry team at Sky since they took over F1’s𝔍 broadcasting rights in the UK in 2012, recently announced his shock departure following the Sao Paulo Grand💝 Prix.
Former colleague and fellow 🌌ex-F1 driver Herberꦇt reckons Sky should try to tempt Ricciardo into a television role now that his grand prix career appears to be over after he lost his RB seat to Liam Lawson.
“Daniel Ricciardo [would be my🐽 pick to join the F1 Sky t🔯eam],” Herbert told .
“He has the expe🦩rience, the smiley face, is telegenic and is very popular. He has a nice demeanour and a very good way of sharing the experience that he has had.
“He has had good and bad times too. All those experiences🐽 are what people want to hear about. Daniel would be a good addition.”
Herbert revealed that Hill was unhappy with t𝓰he abuse he received on social media after recent criticism of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
“Damon Hill has been saying ever since he started in 2012 that he wondered why he was doing the punditry,” Herbert expl꧙ained.
“Every year he said he wasn’t sure whether he would do it again. And every year for the next 12 he came⭕ back! I don’t know whether it was his decision or Sky’s, to be honest.
“Was it an enjoyment factor? Potentially. I know he got criticism for the Max scenarios and maybe he felt, ‘You know what I don’t need that.’ There is change going on. If he was pushed,🎃 then you wonder what could happen to Martin Brundle and David Croft.
“He was very unhappy at the crazy level of abuse he got over his Max comments. Damon has a son with Down’s Syndrome and he does a lot of work for the Halow Project. A lot of the ☂hate I was getting for my criticism of Max’s driving came through social media channels linked to the charity. That was ridiculous.
“People were going through the Halow charity Ins💮tagram account to get to me. Maybe all that negativity made him decide. My critics also used the BRDC account to get to me about the time penalties, qualifying in Brazil, and starting low down the grid. We were accused of being biased against Max.”
