McLaren F1 team principal Andreas Seidl says he takes some of the responsibility for Daniel Ricciardo’s failed tenure at the Woking-based squad
, Seidl admitted that McLaren must shoulder some of the blame for Ricciardo’s struggles to match the performances of teammate Lando Norris throughout what has been a difficult 18-month stint.
“At the same time, we have technology that tells us Lando is an outstanding driver, so he was up against one of the best ones in the paddock. This in the end led us to the decision. He just didn't get it to work in the end. “From my point of view, on the racing side of the team, I’m obviously disappointed we didn’t manage to make it work,” Seidl added.
"I always really appreciated a lot his positivity and his enthusiasm, his help also. Helping me in difficult situations like at the start of this season when we had some tough times going into the first race.
