Priestley - who was a mechanic at McLaren between 1999 and 2009 - has been impressed with how quickly Ricciardo has got up to 💯speed - which is bad news for Tsunoda.

“I actually personally think that he’s in a bit of trouble here,” Priestley told the BBC’s Chequered Flag podcast. “Because I think Daniel Ricciardo is actually very, very strong 🅘already in that car.

“The only reason Daniel Ricciardo was languishing at the bac﷽k [in Belgium] was that moment in qualifying where he stepped over track limits and lost his lap time.

“Clearly, tha🧜t’s his own fault, t⛎hat was a mistake, but it put him on the back foot and he didn’t manage to get through that train of cars.

“I think you put the two of them next to each other on a clear bit of track in th💛e same car, I think Daniel Riccꦺiardo is showing signs of winning every time and that’s got to be a worry for Tsunoda.

“You know how brutal that Red Bul𓆉l family can be if you’re not living up to expectations so that’s one to keep an eye on in the second half of the🥂 season.”
