I won in maybe the most difficult year of my career: Daniel Ricciardo

As reported by GPFans, the Aussie driver mentioned he is not looking to move anytime soon from McLaren to any other team despite not fighting for championships. The Honey Badger mentioned he likes the team and the brand and could end his career with the team.

“I’ve obviously moved around a bit in the last three years or four years, whatever it’s been, and I do want to, especially because of the environment I find myself in, which is one that I really enjoy, make it work and I want to be here,” said Ricciardo.

” The reason why I’m not even thinking about other teams or anything past my future and anything further than McLaren is that I won in maybe the most difficult year of my career. So I’m also like, ‘If I can win [last year] then what does that tell for our journey to come?’

I’m definitely excited, and I do want to be here, potentially till the end, yep,” said Daniel.

It would be interesting to see if the Australian driver can win a championship with McLaren in the coming years. Ricciardo has a contract with the British team till the end of the 2023 season. Hopefully, he can win a title by then and cap off his amazing career in style.

With a whole host of changes for the 2022 season, where do you think Ricciardo will finish in the drivers’ standings?
