The AlphaTauri driver explains how spending six months out of a full-time drive in Formula 1 helped reinvigorate his competitive side.
Daniel Ricciardo, who was ousted from his seat at McLaren due to poor performance, believes that the time he spent out of a full-time drive in Formula 1 gave him renewed motivation to continue. After serving as Red Bull’s third driver, he made a comeback when AlphaTauri replaced Nyck de Vries, but had to sit out due to a hand injury. However, his time off allowed him to appreciate F1 even more and made him realize how much it means to him. It also gave him a new perspective and mental clarity, leading to improved performance and enjoyment in the second half of the season.
