While Daniel Ricciardo may have taken a hit to his 'reputation', he thanks McLaren for putting him out of his misery.
While Daniel Ricciardo may have taken a hit to his “reputation” at McLaren, he says it was a “blessing in disguise” that the team did not allow him to see out his contract.
So, with his career prospects looking a far lot better than they did this time last year, Ricciardo thanks McLaren for putting him out of his misery.. “Obviously, the results weren’t there. “I needed to step away for a bit, to re-find myself, re-find my love for the sport. If it could have been done in a better way, fine, but at the same time, I don’t think me finishing out the contract this year would have done me any favours.
But, his return to Red Bull has helped him regain both ability and confidence, thus allowing him to find closure on that McLaren torment now that he has been able to “get back to being me”.“It felt like when things weren’t working I had to throw them away, and then I’d try some other stuff but that wouldn’t work, then my confidence would go down.
