‘Never again’: Ricciardo’s F1 pledge over McLaren trap that almost cost him his career
August 23rd, 2023 11:51 am
A Red Bull Racing lifeline for 2023 gave him the chance to rediscover his mojo in the simulator, and after 10 races he found himself back on the grid with sister team AlphaTauri in the place of the ousted Nyck de Vries. “I think even through year one at McLaren, kind of at the summer break, I’d learned that we’re probably going too much [into the details] and we need to change the approach a little bit.
Being thrown into the cockpit at the Hungarian Grand Prix with barely a week’s notice left him little choice but to adjust to the car on the fly. “There was some learning to be had, but I think also they wanted to see how I drive the car and kind of go from there. I was improving where I knew I could, but they were kind of just letting me drive it naturally and see where that ended up, and that was cool.”
“I think the experience [I have] is certainly something,” he said. “It’s been mostly younger drivers [at the team]. To have not only someone who’s been in the sport for this long but also driven [with] other teams, it just probably gets them thinking a little bit more about things.
