🗣 'I think to see the chequered flag, to finish in the points, it just makes me a little more at peace with how this year has ended.' Daniel Ricciardo says he was 'relieved' to finish his F1 spell at McLaren with a clean race in the AbuDhabiGP:
McLaren"I'm happy, I'm relieved also that the season finished like this and not like the race in Brazil," he said of his final McLaren outing.
"And, of course, I don't know what the future holds. So if this was to be my final ever race, at least I can say I had a nice little battle with Vettel at the end, and I feel a bit more content with my performance. So for that, I'm relieved." "I was just trying to stay focused, and certainly trying to absorb everything and appreciate it. But ultimately, still stay focused and try to focus on obviously the 58-lap race."Despite his solid drive, Ricciardo admitted that he didn't feel like he had reached the potential of the car.
"That's honestly a feeling which, in a way, I hope makes me a little bit agitated, makes me hungry and makes me a little bit edgy.
