Christian Horner believes 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo had an important “influence” on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen during their time as teammates at Red Bull.

Ricciardo and Verstappen spent close to three years as teammates between 2016 and 2018, with the duo widely regarded as the strongest pairing on the grid at the t🉐ime.

With Verstappen joining Red Bull at just 18 years old, understandably, Ricciardo was the de facto te🔜am leader.

Despite clashing at the 2018 Azerb💃aijan Grand Prix on-track𓆏, they maintained a strong relationship.

Verstappen spoke candidly about his friendship with Ricciardo after the Singapore Grand Prix, stating: “He’s a friend of mine. I think, in general, always being in this kind of position is nev💧er nice.

“I don’t think he has to feel sorry for himself. Sometimes things may not work out the way you want them to in certain stages of your career but you still have achieved a lot - more than anyone could ever dream of🥃 in their lives.”

Shortly after the Singapore weekend, Ricciardo’s exitꦑ from F1 was announced, effectively c🦩alling time on his career in the sport.

“I think actually Max learned a huge amount from him,” Horner said. “When Max came into the team, Max was very much the youngster, the young pup. He was a great influence on Max in that not take life too seriously and enꦓjoy the moment.”

“He ෴loved what he was doing. He felt very honoured to be a grand prix🦩 driver. Just some of the silly stuff he’d get up to.

“Whether it was taking a camera off𝓰 one of the F1 cameramen and taking it into the Mercedes garage.

“It’s unheard of. I am surprised T🀅oto didn’t eject him immediately as he was zooming in on their brake du🅘cts and all the things we were interested in.

“Heꦛ was a good singer, a good musician. He was never shy to have a go.”
