“I still feel so hungry and motivated"- Daniel Ricciardo After Disappointing F1 Season

Australian Formula One driver and multiple time race winner Daniel Ricciardo isn't having the best of seasons in Formula One as several disappointing performances have cast a cloud of doubt regarding his future in the sport. The RB Cashapp driver has struggled to consistently deliver in comparison to his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. 

This has led the F1 star to face criticism from several Formula One legends and critics. Ricciardo's teammate Yuki Tsunoda has already agreed terms with the team to drive for them next season but as of right now there are no talks for Ricciardo to renew his seat.

While speaking to Autosport he said, “I still feel so hungry and motivated, so of course I would be sad, because I feel like I've still got more to give - I put myself back in a really good place. So, it would be sad, but I would definitely take it from a place of gratitude as well, and I think that's where my perspective can help sometimes. Look, I'm grateful that I had the time I had, and I was able to drive a car that won races. I've had a more than 10-year career in a sport I know many can only dream of. I would probably go to bed with that thought, but inside, I feel like I'm not ready.”

Expectations From The Rest Of The Season

After a heavily disappointing start to the season, Daniel Ricciardo's focus for the remainder of the season is to finish strongly and impress possible suitors to give him a contract to drive next season. In recent times, the multiple time race winner has picked up form and started to close the gap to his teammate and will hope to carry it forward into the second half of the season.
