Athletistic/ Formula 1. Double world champion Mika Hakkinen has shared his thoughts on bringing Daniel Ricciardo back to Formula 1. Currently, Ricciardo holds the position of third driver, “Red Bull”.
“I left Formula 1 in 2001, being a double world champion, I had the opportunity to take a year off. Unfortunately, Ricciardo left Formula 1 when he was expelled.
If you had a gap year and now want to come back, how do you prove you can be better? How can you show that you are a faster runner than you have ever been? The newcomers arrive in Formula 1, can you prove that you are faster?
I have to apologize, I say negative things. But that’s the reality. It is a very difficult situation for him. But I think everyone in the paddock loves him. He is a very nice person with a great sense of humor. Fans love it. However, teams like McLaren need a winner,” said Mika Hakkinen.
