Tsunoda has generally had the upper hand over Ricciardo in 2024 across qualifying and theജ race.

Despite Ricciardo’s struggles, he seems un𒀰der little threat of losing his drive for next year.

RB CEO Peter Bayer has made it clear he’s happy with both drivers, indicating he’d like Tsunoda and Ricciardo to♐ stay for 2025.

Even tho🦩ugh Bayer is happy with Ricciardo, the former McLaren driver is desperate to find imp𝕴rovements, conceding he’s frustrated with the performance gap to Tsunoda so far this year.

“I'll be honest, I haven't really given it too much [thought]," Ricciardo said of his future. "So yes, that's great to hear. And yes, that would be awesome꧙. But I want to be doing be🌺tter consistently.

“I think, like today, maybe we do find something that, okay, that's why I lo𝓀st a bit here or there. But there will probably always be something, this is F1, and it's never perfect.

“So I just, I'm not happy with having these gaps. I think t🐈hat's what's frustrating me a bit. Obviously, the team has been great.”

Ricciardo remains upbeat abo꧅ut his chances of turning things around.

The Australian thanked the RB team for being "re♍ally supportive" while insisting he's not going to g🌸et "too comfortable" either.

"They've been really, really supportive," Ricciardo added. "And ꦕobviously, they know I can do it, but it's just been a bit more of a s🐲truggle this year to do it week in, week out.

"And that's really where my focus is now as opposed to getting too co🦩mfortable or excited about what the future holds.

"I want to be doing that. Whether that's car or me, just, I want to be doing 🍸better. And I said I didn't feel too bad today, but clearly it wasn't good enough."
