Christian Horner has claimed that Daniel Ricciardo could have been F1 World Champion at Red Bull had circumstances been different.
Christian Horner suggested that Daniel Ricciardo could have been a Formula 1 World Champion with Red Bull under different circumstances. Ricciardo joined Red Bull in 2014, unexpectedly outperforming expectations as a number two driver. He won three races and finished third in the Drivers’ title, ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel. Despite a winless 2015, Ricciardo returned to winning form in 2016 alongside Max Verstappen. However, a clash in Azerbaijan marked the beginning of his departure to Renault. After successful stints at McLaren and AlphaTauri, Ricciardo’s final F1 race was at the Singapore Grand Prix, leaving a legacy of success and missed opportunities according to Horner.
