Martin Brundle has responded to Jacques Villeneuve’s attack on Daniel Ricciardo during the Canadian Grand Prix.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle recently commented on Daniel Ricciardo, who was criticized as “overrated” by Jacques Villeneuve, the 1997 F1 world champion, during the Canadian Grand Prix broadcast on Sky Sports F1. After qualifying fifth at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Ricciardo responded to Villeneuve’s remarks by calling him out for “talking shit.” Brundle, in his column for Sky Sports, acknowledged Ricciardo’s past successes but expressed regret over his departure from Red Bull at the end of 2018. Brundle highlighted that Ricciardo’s move from Red Bull was a turning point in his career, leading to a decline in performance after Max Verstappen became his teammate in 2016. Brundle concedes that Ricciardo should have stayed at Red Bull to compete with Verstappen to further improve his skills. Despite still demonstrating speed and racing prowess, Brundle believes that there is something holding Ricciardo back psychologically or in his approach, which is affecting his performance and career opportunities.
