“Hopefully Lando Kicks His A*s…”- McLaren Aspirant Makes Bold Daniel Ricciardo Claim

Recently there have been a lot of speculations about the entry of an American driver into F1. America also has IndyCar, which is a very competitive series in its own right. Lately, the door is slowly being held open for IndyCar drivers to enter the world of F1. One driver in a prime position to make his f1 dream come true is Colton Herta.

Colton Herta on Potential F1 chance

The American driver currently drives for Andretti Autosport in IndyCar. Herta also has a development deal that sees him test out McLaren’s machinery in order to gain more experience with the cars. He also has his sights set on a full-time seat with the team.

He recently said, “If (Ricciardo) continues to build, I probably won’t have that opportunity, but hopefully Lando kicks his ass a bit more, so I can at least have a shot.” He also went on to add that he does not genuinely wish for Riccardo’s downfall.

Herta further speculated about his potential F1 future, “…kinda hope I get the opportunity, at least a little foot in the door to maybe show what I can do.” He is also in line for an F1 seat if Andretti finally gets a chance to enter the sport.

Tough luck for Daniel Ricciardo

The Australian driver has had a horrendous start to the 2022 season. Ricciardo contacted COVID right before the start of the season. But he made his return just in time for the season opener in Bahrain. However, till now, he has made no headway as he finished outside the points in round 1 at Bahrain.

The second race in Jeddah saw him retire as he lost drive on his MCL36. He is yet to score a point this season, while his teammate Lando Norris secured a P7 finish in Saudi Arabia, bagging 6 points for the team. The next race in Australia would be Daniel’s homecoming, and he would love to score some points this weekend.
