Daniel Ricciardo is currently enduring a difficult period in Formula 1 but has been left impressed by compatriot Oscar Piastri.
Daniel Ricciardo has praised compatriot Oscar Piastri, calling the 22-year-old a “great kid” after Piastri’s impressive fourth-place finish at the Australian Grand Prix.

Piastri is in his second season in F1 with McLaren, where he replaced Ricciardo, who had struggled with form at the team. Ricciardo expressed happiness at Piastri’s performance, noting the strong Aussie presence at the event. Despite a challenging round in Melbourne for Ricciardo, where he was knocked out in Q1 and failed to score points, he commended Piastri’s success and expressed admiration for his compatriot’s performance and personality.
