168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo replied to a comment about being “past your best” thr𝔍ough gritted teeth.

Ricciardo was in the airport in Perth heading towards this weekend’s F1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

He was reminded about a critical remark from Alan Jones, the 1980 F1 cha🐎mpion who i▨s also from Australia.

“Alan Jones said that maybe you are past your best,” an interview from&n🐟bsp; asked Ricciardo.

“Have you got something to prove in th🐎e next꧋ few races?”

Ricciardo bluntly replied: “Not at all.”

He then ended the interview fairly abruptly.

Ricciardo was ear🦂lier asked if he was looking forward to his home race this weekend.

“Very much,” he said. “I missed it last year.

“So, getting ready for the week ahead.

“It’s b๊🧸een a steady, I’d say slow, start to the year. But it’s only been two races.

“Hopefully the season start💙s on the right foot in Melbourn🔜e.

“That will be the first one to get going.”

Ricciardo🔥, now aged 34, has not enjoyed the best start to the 2024 F1 season.

The RB driver finished 13th in Bahrain and 16th in Saudi Arabia, hardly the type of ♛results which will im💎press sister team Red Bull.

Ricciardo entered the year h🐬oping 💛to be the man to replace Sergio Perez at Red Bull in 2025.

But Perez has tw𝓰ice finished as runner-up so far this season.

Ricciardo, by contrast, bickered♓ with teammate Yuki Tsunoda in Bahrain then was held up in a 40-second pit stop in Saudi Arabia.

The below-par results have now seen crit🎃ics question Ricciardo’s futꦏure in F1 altogether.

“He’s a magic guy to have in a team,” Eddie Jor🐭dan has commented.

“But that doesn’t give you the right to be th🅘e driver in the team and I am just worried that the end of the McLaren era was really something that stood out and I couldn’t see where he’d lost it.

“There’s been nothing since then that convinces me that I w⛄ould want to invest my hard earned sponsorship cash to keep Daniel.”
