In the Beyond The Grid podcast, Daniel Ricciardo looked back at himself in the 2014 season when he moved from Toro Rosso to Red Bull and was as confident as Lando Norris this year…
Daniel Ricciardo: “I remember being so confident in myself that I had no doubts that if the car allowed me to win races, I would win the title. I wouldn’t say I was in special shape, I just felt really confident. I moved to a strong team, I felt like one of the leaders. Some in such a situation are afraid of responsibility and pressure, while others are happy, because they go here all their lives. I came from the second group.
As I looked at Norris, I then remembered myself. He is also a young rider, plays for a strong team and feels very comfortable there. When you are young, you feel that you are invincible. Understanding that this is not the case comes with experience.
No, I don’t consider myself old at all. Simply, youth is inherent in carelessness. You have fewer responsibilities, you do what you like and everything seems to go by itself.
