Daniel Ricciardo replies to Alan Jones' criticism ahead of F1 Australian Grand Prix
He was reminded about a critical remark from Alan Jones, the 1980 F1 champion who is also from Australia.Ricciardo was earlier asked if he was looking forward to his home race this weekend.“It’s been a steady, I’d say slow, start to the year. But it’s only been two races.“That will be the first one to get going.”The RB driver finished 13th in Bahrain and 16th in Saudi Arabia, hardly the type of results which will impress sister team Red Bull.
Ricciardo, by contrast, bickered with teammate Yuki Tsunoda in Bahrain then was held up in a 40-second pit stop in Saudi Arabia.“He’s a magic guy to have in a team,” Eddie Jordan has commented. “But that doesn’t give you the right to be the driver in the team and I am just worried that the end of the McLaren era was really something that stood out and I couldn’t see where he’d lost it.
“There’s been nothing since then that convinces me that I would want to invest my hard earned sponsorship cash to keep Daniel.”
