RB boss Laurent Mekies sat down for an exclusive interview with RacingNews365.
RB team principal Laurent Mekies believes that Daniel Ricciardo’s inconsistent performance in F1 is a positive challenge to address, but acknowledges the need for a prompt decision on his future. Despite being outperformed by Yuki Tsunoda in the first half of the 2024 season, Ricciardo showed strong performances in the Miami sprint and Canadian GP. RB reserve Liam Lawson is heavily rumored as a potential replacement, especially with Tsunoda already secured for 2025. The decision regarding the driver lineup is crucial for Mekies, who sees Ricciardo’s situation as an opportunity despite the urgency for a resolution. Ricciardo’s struggles have been attributed to technical sensitivity, with Mekies emphasizing the importance of providing the right conditions for him to excel and adapt effectively.
