Should have stayed with Red Bull.

Salt AU

Daniel choosing to come out in qualifying with 1:36 on the clock over a 1:30 lap wasn't Daniels greatest moment in Miami, neither was the fact that he couldn't personally get out and fix his car with the problems it had. Oh wait that was McLarens doing, not the driver. Great journalism! Ricciardo could and should have passed Norris in Australia but the 'team' said no, hold your position. Ricciardo was also faster than Norris in practise and early qualifying in Miami while having car troubles. McLaren banking on Herta and or O'Ward won't be the magic fix they perhaps… Read more »

Ummm he already has secured his future. He's signed until the end of 2023. Also he's started off this year alot better then last year and seems much more competitive with Lando I'm sure he'll get a few good races in and if not I highly doubt McLaren are gunna try to terminate his contract, especially not to sign a guy that's never raced an f1 car.

This is why you dont change teams every 2 years unless you HAVE to.

I wouldn't resign him as he's a waste of money. Yes he's likeable and funny off the track, but he's inconsistent and we're seeing the same thing we saw at Renault. IMO they shouldn't have bothered in the first place and could've spent less than half as much on a driver for the same result. Total waste of money. Lando with way less F1 experience drives way better. Is Danny going to keep saying "I'm not used to the car" next season as well, season after that? Go play some interviews from the Renault days and we'll see the same… Read more »

I'd personally love to see DR3 in INDYCar. I think he'd be happier there and more fulfilled as a driver, as he could be competitive again in a series where the driver can make a larger difference than in F1.

He should of never left Red Bull. He is done. MAX got into his head way back when he ran from Red Bull and he lost his confidence. Bring in Herta.

Scott Smeaton

Love Daniel! But I’m sorry he hasn’t done anything this year, with the exception of his win last year he hasn’t delivered! I’m afraid his ride is in jeopardy….

Why did you have to leave RB danny ric?. That was a very bad move that im sure he will be scratching his head when he thought about in retirement years ahead.

Alejandro S

His still an amazing driver in my opinion he just lost his touch that anger in the car to win. Someone in McLaren needs to remind him what he is a honey badger 🦡 🇦🇺 and that he might smile out of the car but on track in the car he is fast strong and aggressive and take what he wants and not be scared

Snowhole Outdoors

His biggest mistake was leaving RBR, it's been a downwards spiral from that point on. Better a great second driver, than a struggling team-pilgrim. And like always, when the rumours start – the facts are already some steps ahead. He will have to make way for an american driver, for political reasons.

Paul

Ricco's a talented driver but he's up against one of the best in Lando

Ibnu Fardhani

He could go to Mercedes

joe king

Too much of a joker not focused

BLVCKO

actually like how trash is this guy

Charles Damery

Rumours are rumours until they happen.

Channel Z

I bet he'd give anything to have never left Red Bull. At least there he would be Max's 'Number 2' but in a better car. Now he's Lando's 'Number 2' in a mid-field team. He's not as consistently reliable as a lot of people say he is. He makes a LOT of mistakes, ALL the time. He's like 'Kvyat 2.0' at times. 😆

The answer is no

Rohit

It will be a sad day for such a great guy to leave F1 but its also important that McLaren can score well. This year McLaren has a good chance to come 3rd If they can be consistent. Max showed Daniel's true side when they were at RB and that too in his amateur days. I guess Daniel was over hyped because of the charisma he has and the moves he can make during a race but isn't the best person to extract the best out of a car. With age factor coming in and other teams are all going… Read more »

As an Aussie, it is time to fuck him off. He made his bed, he wanted to escape Vertappen and ended up with Norris in a lesser car. I'm sick of seeing his paid ads and social media stunts. Time for a change. Get piastri in a seat.

Jules

God i hope not. Release that bum.

LateOnBrakes

Ummhmmm…at least he'll have his jokes to fall back on

Jack Tanner

Nope.

Crooked Clown

Ricciardo's Mojo is already gone.

Mr J

I think some drivers may need the extra pressure

Clay Simons

He seems to shine on a car that's good in the low speed. His redbull days the car was never good at straight line speed. McLarens car seems to be the opposite of what he was good at.

Eddc10

Overrated driver that’s what he always been, the only reason he has one race win over la do is because la do was told not to pass him, that’s it, the same thing happen at Renault Nico was also told not to pass him when he has the opportunities, he’s a overrated driver just because he had a good car with Red Bull, he’s trash and should be off F1…

Jerry Poon

can

G P

He has talent, but it's unrealized. I think he's circling the bowl….

Pat B

Same story with Riccardo, always the teams fault, can't catch a break blah blah. He's just not that talented. Lando's success versus his just proves this.

mr whatever

He should of stayed at Renault or whatever its called now…..

Read my Lips

Well when your teammate commands less than half your pay and have more than double your points🤔

JR McPuff-n-Stuff

He's a clown time to move on McLaren let home go drive sebs green POS next year

Dorian Gray

He should take a break and contemplate or better yet, just retire…. He's basically just a mascot for Formula 1 now….

Raph Walker

Hes fucked ,no ones going to want him next season.

schick

As an Australian I'm disappointed with Daniels application to the task at hand, instead of being the village clown glad handing the media, apply yourself to being the best you can be, because he MUST realise Lando is making him look silly just like Max did at Red Bull, if he is out of his depth ……QUIT…..walk away, making excuses is ridiculous.

Son what

Hes all smiles, No bite…

Buadh

Bring back kimi, again
