Over the recent weekend in Canada, Ricciardo and Villeneuve got into a heated argument sparked by the 1997 champion questioning Ricciardo’s place on the F1 grid. Despite qualifying fifth in Montreal, Ricciardo strongly responded to Villeneuve’s comments, suggesting the former champion might have been “hit on the head” for talking nonsense. Villeneuve dismissed Ricciardo’s remarks as “childish” and stood by his criticism even after Ricciardo finished eighth in the race. Brundle, seeming to support Villeneuve, expressed doubts about Ricciardo’s career choices, especially leaving Red Bull in 2018. Ricciardo’s subsequent struggles at Renault and McLaren have caused Brundle to believe that he should have stayed at Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen for a stronger career trajectory.
