168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo has been questioned about a bold comment from Helmut Marko that suggests he might lose his F1 drive.

Ahead of this weekend’s F1 Austrian Grand Prix, th𓂃e home race for Red Bull, Marko dropped ♔a bombshell quote that suggests Ricciardo’s days in the RB are numbered.

Marko told  about Ricciardo: "The goal was that he wouldౠ be considered for Red Bull Racing with exceptional performances.

“This seat now belongs to Serg𓂃io Perez, so this plan is in🦋valid."

Marko said about the RB F1 team: "You'll have to put a young driver in there soon. That wouཧld be Liam Lawson."

Ricciardo reacted in Austria: “I’ve become really goodꦕ at not reading t♔hings. I actually didn’t know about it until I was told when I got here. Look… it’s… I don’t feel one way or another about it.

“I still know that the overriding thing in this sport is performance, and🌟 that’s it. That’s what will give me my best chance of staying here, I know that.

“It’s not going to be my smile or anything else. It’s the on-track stuf💫f.

“I’ve o🌞bviously got a good opportunity, obviously I say until the summer break, I don’t think that’s a deadline, but that’sไ obviously where you look at for the first half of the season.

“I look back at Barcelona, an♓d it’s hard to get excited about a 15th, but actually I was really happy with my race. So I would say it’s at least now two better weekends in a row.

“That’s what I’ve certainly had trouble doing this year, is having a kind of string of good results. Tw𝓀o is not enough of course, at least for where I want to be.

“Now we have two more ahead. I definitely have a chance to get into the summer break with ✱some momentum.

“And on the Helmut stuff, yeah honestly, it’s fine. It doesn’t chan൩ge what I’m going to do.”

Ricciardo impressively tested a Red Bull last year, which was enough f꧃or the team to throw him into AlphaTauri as a full-time replacement for the under-performing Nyck♌ de Vries.

Ricciardo then got injured and Laws🤪on impressively deputised.

This year, Ricciardo has underwhelmed and Lawson’s upcoming test of a 2🔯022 AlphaTauri at Imola looks ominous.

Ricciardo was asked if he’s worried: “No, no. Also, so I believe it’s 𝔍been planned for a while, but in any case, it’s one of those ones where also, I think the older you get, you understand that control the controllables.

“If Liam goes and has an amazing test, like 100%, good for Liam, I’v♏e got no control ove𝓀r that, nor do I wish him poorly, not at all.

“I think I’m currently in the race seaꦗt, so I’ve got to do everything༒ I can to control the things that I can.

“If I kick ass here, if I kick ass at Silverstone, then I think the narrative can change. I think I obviously have to own that and be on top of what I ♑can do. Yeah.

“I’m sure qualifying fifth in Montre𓆏al made Helmut smile. If I can do that a few more times, then I’m sure I’ll make him smile.

“It’s still so heavily on performance, and yeah, just keep💞 focused🌺 on that.”

What’s Daniel Ricciardo’s Plan B to stay in F1?

The veteran driver insists 🐻he has not enquired about a move to a 𓄧rival team.

“I would say no. I mean, I don’t know,” he said. “Nꦜot to be stubborn or arrogant about it, but I’m not looking anywhere else.

“I’ve said it, I really do enjoy beinಌg back in the family. I weirdly do enjoy sometimes a little bit of pokes from Helmut, because I think it’s also, it can also be a way to get me a little bit fired up and try and get the best out of me. In short, no.”

Christian Horner, the Red Bull team principal, has reportedly advoc🐼ated for Ricciardo in the past.

Ricciardo was asked if he’d received indication from Ho✃rner that he might be cut.

“No, like, I haven’t heard anything,” he said.

“There hasn't b𒁃een any pressure, ultimatum, nothing li🌟ke that.

“But I’m also, I’ve been in the sport a long time, I know that if I get my ass kicked every weekend, at some point, someone will be like 💃‘hey mate, step it up, otherwise…’ but I hav💖en’t had that.

“But, as I said, I’m aware that having a🅺 good race every so often isn’t good enough, but also not where I want to be. I don’t want to have aꦓn odd high and a bunch of lows.

🌌“I’m the one in the car and 🦹I’ve got to push that right throttle a bit harder.”

Ricciardo’s choice not to pursue a Plan B, if he is dropped by RB, could bac🗹kfire if other seats are filled up and he is left without a drive for 2025.

But he isn’t concerned.

“No. No. I sound 🃏casual, I don’t want to be casual about it, becaus▨e obviously I care a lot,” he said. “But I don’t know.

“Maybe♈ I’m ඣat a point where it’s just like, what will be will be.

“I’m just goi🍸ng to put everything I can on the table from an effort and performance, and 🃏if that is good enough to secure me a seat, great. If not, then OK, I did everything I could.

“I think in terms of t🃏he musical chai꧒rs stuff, whatever it’s called, yeah, I think if I get focused on that, then I’m… I need to put all my attention here. Simple as that.”
