It seems Daniel Ricciardo missed a trick for a whole host of reasons according to Helmut Marko.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko harshly criticized Daniel Ricciardo for his underwhelming performance and subsequent dismissal after just one year on the F1 comeback trail. Ricciardo was informed before the Singapore Grand Prix that he was no longer needed at Red Bull and was replaced by Liam Lawson for the last six races of the season. Marko revealed that Ricciardo’s return to Red Bull was envisioned as a temporary arrangement, with high expectations for a promotion if he excelled. Unfortunately, Ricciardo’s results fell short, with only a couple of standout performances amidst a lack of consistency and speed. Marko highlighted Ricciardo’s diminishing killer instinct for aggressive driving as a key factor in his departure from the team.
