Daniel Ricciardo has explained why he returned to F1 with the “bad habits” that Christian Horner bemoaned.
Red Bull engineers were tasked with improving the driving abilities of Daniel Ricciardo, who returned to the team as their third driver this year after being let go from McLaren. Ricciardo admitted to feeling nervous about returning to the team and how he had left Red Bull in 2018. He had initially quit Red Bull to join Renault, but was given a third driver role by his old team. Ricciardo’s confidence took a hit during his time at McLaren, and he felt burnt out and not in love with the sport anymore. However, his fortunes changed after a successful test drive for Red Bull, and he will continue driving for AlphaTauri in 2024 with hopes of returning to Red Bull in the future.
