Daniel Ricciardo was once a consistent front-runner on the F1 grid but never got a true chance to fight for a title.
Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes that Daniel Ricciardo could have won a world championship if he had better machinery at the team. Ricciardo spent five seasons with the Milton Keynes-based squad but was unable to compete for a title due to the team’s lack of competitiveness during that period. Even though Ricciardo has since retired from racing, his vibrant personality has made him a fan favorite. Horner praised Ricciardo’s character, calling him a great guy with a big heart and a sensitive nature. Despite Red Bull’s success before and after Ricciardo’s time with the team, Horner is certain that Ricciardo could have been a world champion if provided with the right tools.
