McLaren has ordered Daniel Ricciardo to stay behind Lando Norris! The Australian has got much more pace than the young British driver and this is angering several fans. The papaya team’s orders make no logical sense to even Daniel who wishes to pass his team mate and clarifies his pace situation.
Ricciardo has driven rather decently in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. After intense criticism, the driver has finally managed to put on a good display of his strength as a driver.

This could’ve been a good opportunity for the Aussie driver to overtake his teammate. Lando has clearly stayed ahead of Ricciardo in most races, putting Ricciardo under pressure. Under intense scrutiny that involved criticism from the team boss also, Ricciardo managed a decent comeback in this race.
