168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo says he would be happy to stay with RB for a second F1 sಌeason, even if it means missing out on a Red Bull drive.

The whole premise surrounding Ricciardo’s F1 return in the middle of last year was to eventually end up back at Red Bull alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

So far at least, it’s not worked out for the eight-time grand prix winner, who has been comprehensively out-performed by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

Ricciardo’s immediate future is uncertain with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson on the sidelines.

The Australian will need a♛ quick turnaround in the upcoming races to ensure he doesn’t face🦋 the same fate as Nyck de Vries.

In an interview with , Ricciar♑do - for seemingly for the first time - state🥂d that he would be fine sticking with RB for next season as he’s simply “enjoying the driving now”.

“As I feel today, yes,” Ricciardo said. “I'm enjoying the driving now; it's not so much result-driven. Obviously, I don't want to just be here to be here; I want to earn that seat an💮d the te💃am is hopefully further up.

“So yeah, I guess it goes both ways. I mean, the answer is yes. But is it more 🦩fun fighting at the front? Is it more fun fighting for podiums and wins? Absolutely.

“And the truth is, if I draw a line under it and I speak about myself in 🦩the third person: Why did Daniel Ricciardo return after a few months off last year? Because I bel𝕴ieve I can stand on the podium again. I can win races again.

“Ultimately, that is it. The belief is there… As long as that belief is still there, I think I'll be happy being here. But when I eventua൩lly do hang it up, I would love to have stood on the podium a few more times.”

Ricciardo’s finest performance since returning to F1 was in Mexico - qualꦜifying 𒐪fourth before finishing seventh.

T꧃he 34-year-old wants to “remind꧒” people that he still has what it takes to perform in F1.

“I want to make people proud and I want people that support me to feel proud of what's going🦹 on,” he added.

“𓆏It's not even proving anything; it's just that you want to remind people—I want to remind some people that two races are not career-defining. I'm not in a bad place. I'm not coming from a lack of confidence. Just all this, whatever, it's like yeah, you wa🐎nt to remind…

“In 2018, on my helmet for a little bit, I put some messages on the back of my helmet. I had ‘remind these cats'. People forget, you know… I want to prove it to myself𝓀 that I can do stuff like I did in Mexico last year, just on a consistent basis.”
