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 something is “fundamentally wrong” with Ricciardo, hav🐻ing 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 i🦩s 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 thr♌ee races, prompting comments from Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko about the need for Ricciardo to raise his game.

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

Speaking on൩ 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 questioned his [Yuki Tsunoda’s] race speed, he’s fallen out of the points the first couple of races but 𒈔that could just as easily be a car trait.

“The trouble is, how you benchmark him whe🦹n the other driver is clearly having some sort of crisis.

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

“When you’re who🅰le tenths off,ಌ nearly half a second off there’s something fundamentally wrong, so you can’t really measure where Tsunoda’s at.

“It could be that he’s operating at a very, very high level but until we see him alongside a Verstappen or a Leclerc or someone ꧑like that, it’s very difficult to quantify it.”

Ricciardo has reportedly been given a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:two-race ultimatum toไ save his seat at RB by Marko.
