Former world champion Alan Jones has concerns surrounding the RB-Honda star who has been outperformed by a team-mate.
Adored Formula One hero Daniel Ricciardo has been challenged to show his best with major concerns he is a pale imitation of his former self.
Former world champion Alan Jones has concerns surrounding the RB-Honda star who has been outperformed by team-mate Yuki Tsunoda amid an error-strewn start to the 2024 season. Ricciardo – who earned a global fanbase due to his eye-catching exploits on Netfix's Drive to Survive – has been consistently linked with a return to Red Bull but Sergio Perez's recent form has cast doubt on that option.
And the man who won the 1980 world championship has urged his compatriot to show his best form and quickly. Jones, speaking to the Herald Sun, he said: “I think would even agree with that. Bad luck, or otherwise, I’m sure Daniel would like to have had better results than what he has had. At the end of the day, we can’t be blaming the car all the time, which has been a bit of a tendency in the past.
“I would love to see Daniel go extremely well in Melbourne, I would like to see Daniel go extremely well period. But I just think that his luck is going to have to change or he is going to have to lift his game if he has got any chance of getting back in that Red Bull team or getting back into a more competitive car.
“The Alpine or the McLaren, the car that he is in right now… at the end of the day he has got to start beating his team-mate for a start. I would love him to become super competitive and be up there challenging in the points, but I just think that maybe a couple of things have got to change before we see that.”
