168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo has spoken about his spat with 1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve.

Villeneuve was𝐆 incredibly critical of Ricciardo during tꦯhe Canadian Grand Prix, questioning his place in F1.

The former Williams driver s🍷aid in Montreal: “Why’s he still in F1? 🌞Why?

“We are hearing the same thing now for the last four or five years. ‘We have to make the car beꦆtter for him’. Sorry, it’s been five years of that. No, you are in F1.”

Ricciardo hit back afterwards with a strong weekend, stating: "I still don't know what he said. But I heard he's been talking s***. But he always doe💃s.”

In the interview withᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ , Ricciardo admitted he was “disappointed” by the criticism given that Villeneuve was a former F1 driver himself and knows the difficulty of the job.

"In Montreal, Jacques was talking some stuff and there were a few thꦐings where I had a chip on my shoulder. I was like, 'Alright, if you guys want to test me, let's go'. I think I responded well to some of that,” he said.

"Normally I don't read it, but the team makes you aware of it, to prepare me for things that have been said. It does work me up... this is a world champion as well, in Ja🧸cques' case, it's someone who knows the sport.

"I could comment on other drivers and be like, 'Yeah, he's gone through a rough patch', but I would never talk s**t about someone because I can relate and I know what they've gone ไthrough. No-one can strap themselves and do🧸 this, it's such a rare sport.

"I was more disappointed, but I thought, 'If some peoplꦜe think that way, time for me to remind them that I'm still here'. I used it to my advantage, but it's fine. I know people have opinions. I just 🐼thought, 'Don't get agitated, get motivated'."

Since then, Ricciardo has enjoyed a steady rise in form with a number of impre♊ssive drives

It did look like before the summer break that Ricciardo would return to Red Bull alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

"It's definitely clicking a bit more,” he added. “Canada was definitely a🧜 bigger turning point. I had the new chassis in China and Miami worked better.

"I had a couple of not-as-good ones and then in Canada, there was a lot on the line. There was talk already of me maybe losing my seat and I was like, 'Okay, everything I've done so far this year, for whatever r⛎eason, hasn't worked the way I wanted - I ne𓄧ed to try to change a few things'."
