168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo is “clearly having some sort of crisis” amid a difficult and underwhelming start to the 2024 F1 season, it has been claimed.

That is the view of respected F1 journalist Mark Hughes, who believes somethin📖g is “fundamentally wrong” with Ricciardo, having made a worrying comparison to his nightmare stint at McLaren.

Ricciardo entered the season targeting168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Sergio Perez’s Red Bull seat for 2025 but his own future is under scrutiny ෴after a torrid start to the campaign.

The 34-year-old has been out-performed by RB teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda across the opening three races, prompting comments from Red Bull motorsp♑ort advisor Helmut Marko about t♕he need for Ricciardo to raise his game.

At the Australian Grand Prix, Ricciardo failed tꦉo make it out of Q1 and could only finish 12th, while Tsu𒀰noda claimed valuable points for RB in seventh (following Fernando Alonso’s penalty).

Speaki🅷ng on The Race F1 Podcast, Hughes🏅 said: “Far from is he on a trajectory still to be in the Red Bull, I’d say is he on a trajectory to still be in the RB?”

When asked what Tsunoda is doing right that Ricciardo isn’t, Hughes said: “Helmut Marko has quest🐻ioned his [Yuki Tsunoda’s] race speed, he’s fallen out of the points the first couple of races but that could just as easily be a car trait.

“The trouble i🌃s, how you benchmark him when the other driver is clearly hav🐈ing some sort of crisis.

“That’s not a Red Bull-era Daniel Ricciardo performance, that’s much ♓more like his troubled McLaren time.

“When you’re whole tenths off, nearly half a second off there’s something fundamentally wrong, so you can’t really measure where Tsunoꦉda✅’s at.

“It could be that hꦉe’s operating at a very, very high level but until we see him alongside a Verstappen or a Leclerc or someone like that, it’s very difficult to quant✱ify it.”

Ricciardo has reportedly been given a ꦡ168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:two-race ultimatum to save his seat at RB by Marko.
