Daniel Ricciardo ‘lega’ finis kesembilan dan meraih poin selama balapan terakhirnya di Formula 1 bersama McLaren.
Daniel Ricciardo telah mengonfirmasi dia akan bergabung dengan Red Bull dalam peran pengembangan untuk tahun 2023, dan mengatakan dia akan lebih senang dengan posisi itu daripada kursi balapan penuh waktu di grid karena dia membutuhkan “istirahat” dari Formula 1.
Ricciardo, pemenang balapan delapan kali dan salah satu nama terbesar dalam olahraga ini, akan keluar dari grid tahun depan setelah kontraknya dengan McLaren berakhir lebih awal, tetapi kesepakatan untuk membuatnya tetap terlibat di F1 dalam beberapa kapasitas akan diselesaikan. .
Dikonfirmasi oleh bos Red Bull dan sekarang Ricciardo, pebalap Australia itu akan kembali ke timnya sebelumnya sebagai pembalap ketiga, dengan tugasnya kemungkinan mencakup pertunjukan lari dan eksploitasi pemasaran lainnya, serta pekerjaan simulator untuk balapan tertentu.
Langkah ini agak mengejutkan mengingat Ricciardo, meskipun kekurangan kursi yang tersedia, mungkin bisa mendapatkan kursi yang dia inginkan – tetapi pemain berusia 33 tahun itu menyambut baik kesempatan untuk mengatur ulang.
Ibu Daniel Ricciardo sangat emosional saat pasangan itu berpelukan menjelang balapan terakhirnya dengan McLaren di Formula Satu, dengan pebalap Australia itu akan menjadi pembalap cadangan untuk Red Bull musim depan.
“Saya tahu bahwa saya ingin istirahat tahun depan dari balapan dan hanya dari kompetisi,” kata Ricciardo di GP Abu Dhabi.
“Jelas sangat melelahkan beberapa tahun terakhir dengan perjuangan, jadi cukup jelas bagi saya tak lama setelah liburan musim panas bahwa itulah yang saya inginkan, dan apa yang terbaik untuk saya.
“Jadi kemudian, ‘ok, apa hal terbaik berikutnya?’. Dan semakin saya memikirkannya, untuk terlibat sampai taraf tertentu dengan tim top, itu jelas pilihan.”
Lihat beberapa sorotan dari karir luar biasa Daniel Ricciardo di Formula Satu, dengan pebalap Australia itu akan menjadi pembalap cadangan untuk mantan tim Red Bull musim depan.
Ricciardo berharap untuk kembali ke F1 di kursi kompetitif pada tahun 2024, meski mengakui bahwa waktu istirahat mungkin berubah pikiran.
“Itu akan menyulut api dan membuatku lapar dan lebih termotivasi dari sebelumnya, atau akan seperti, ‘oh, ini hal yang tepat untukmu’. Kalau begitu… maka aku pasti sangat bahagia.”
Mercedes telah berbicara tetapi memahami Ricciardo pindah ‘rumah’
Ricciardo sangat terkait dengan peran cadangan Mercedes sebelum pembicaraan berlanjut dengan Red Bull, meskipun bos Silver Arrows Toto Wolff mengerti mengapa dia ingin pulang ke tim tempat dia memenangkan tujuh dari delapan balapannya.
Ricciardo meninggalkan Red Bull pada akhir 2018, mengejutkan tim saat itu.
“Ada diskusi,” kata Wolff tentang Ricciardo. “Dia pria super.
Lando Norris dan Daniel Ricciardo mengatakan semakin emosional menjelang kepergian Ricciardo dari McLaren, tetapi mereka masih berencana untuk bertemu satu sama lain.
“Sayang sekali dia tidak berada di kokpit, karena Daniel Ricciardo termasuk dalam mobil balap. Tidak ada yang mengerti mengapa tahun-tahun di McLaren tidak berjalan seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya.
“Saya pikir pada dasarnya kami hanya perlu waktu untuk mencari tahu apa yang ingin kami lakukan dan Red Bull adalah rumahnya untuk waktu yang lama, dia mengenal orang-orang di sana dan mudah-mudahan dia mendapat tawaran bagus di sana.”
Ricciardo tentang Red Bull kembali dan McLaren kesulitan
Kesepakatan Red Bull belum ditandatangani tetapi Ricciardo mengatakan kepada Sky Sports F1 setelah balapan terakhirnya dengan McLaren bahwa langkah itu “sangat mungkin terjadi”.
“Jika memang [confirmed]”tambahnya. “Saya tidak akan berada di 24 balapan karena saya mungkin masih berada di grid.
“Saya menjelaskan bahwa saya masih membutuhkan waktu istirahat untuk diri saya sendiri dan sedikit menjauh, tetapi saya akan ada sampai batas tertentu dan mencoba untuk tetap terlibat.”
Dengan Daniel Ricciardo diperkirakan akan bergabung dengan Red Bull musim depan sebagai pembalap cadangan, Christian Horner memberikan pendapatnya tentang pebalap Australia itu.
Dia juga membuka perjuangan McLarennya.
“Tentu saja ada beberapa balapan yang membuat saya merasa lebih nyaman,” katanya. “Kesulitan, perjuangan adalah yang menyemangati saya dan kemudian tiba-tiba, seminggu kemudian, kami kembali ke tempat kami berada. Ketidakkonsistenan, yang tidak diketahui, itulah yang membuatnya begitu rumit tetapi saya senang memiliki beberapa baik [races] sejak liburan musim panas.
“Saya telah belajar perspektif. Sangat mudah terjebak dalam persaingan. Kami mencurahkan begitu banyak waktu untuk itu dan ketika itu tidak berjalan dengan baik, Anda dapat dengan mudah marah, frustrasi, dan pahit. Dapatkan begitu banyak emosi negatif terhadap sesuatu yang Anda cinta sejati.
“Perspektif memungkinkan saya untuk mempertahankan kebahagiaan dan penghargaan. Anda memiliki hari-hari Anda tetapi merupakan hak istimewa untuk melakukan apa yang kita sukai – itu adalah olahraga yang menyenangkan. Lingkungan sekitar, perjalanan, semua orang yang kita temui. Apa pun yang Anda lakukan dalam hidup, terima kasih banyak membantu Anda bergerak maju.”
