Martin Brundle gives his view on Daniel Ricciardo in the wake of Jacques Villeneuve's criticism.
Giving his view on Ricciardo’s form in the wake of Jacques Villeneuve criticism across the Canadian Grand Prix weekend.Brundle wrote in his post-Canadian GP column: “For the record, as it's become a hot topic due to my Sky Sports F1 colleague Jacques Villeneuve expressing his firm opinions.
“I have fundamental respect for all F1 drivers, not least for Daniel and Jacques, because I know how hard it is to drive such fearsome cars under that spotlight. “Daniel has won eight GPs including an outstanding Monaco victory, scored 32 podiums, and has regularly shown world-class talent. “But those results were quite a while ago and I wish he'd not left Red Bull at the end of 2018. That was an emotional and flawed decision, he should have faced up to Max in the best car, then he'd have necessarily raised his game even further.”“Ricciardo never seemed to be quite the same driver again,” he added. “
He clearly still does have speed and race craft, as we witnessed also in the Miami Sprint, but something in his psyche or approach is holding that back and it's costing him opportunity and longevity.”
