Racing Bulls believes Daniel Ricciardo “second-guessing things” due to his vast experience proved to be a hindrance that impacted him during his F1 return.
Daniel Ricciardo struggled to find his form during the 2023 F1 season at Red Bull Racing, with his performance falling short compared to his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. Despite efforts to support him, including a chassis change, Ricciardo failed to consistently deliver strong results due to overthinking and obsessing over his performance. Red Bull ultimately replaced Ricciardo with Liam Lawson, reflecting a trend in F1 of promoting young talents like Lawson, Oliver Bearman, and Franco Colapinto. Racing Director Alan Permane emphasized the challenge of maintaining high performance consistently in a competitive field of drivers like Colapinto, acknowledging the difficulty in replicating standout performances week after week.
