After the finish in Barcelona, McLaren boss Zack Brown said Daniel Ricciardo’s performance fell short of the team’s expectations. Former Formula 1 driver Jenson Button believes there should be no public criticism in such situations.
Jenson Button “When the head of your team openly says you don’t suit him, it hurts. Zach alone, we have no control over what he says and thinks, but I was surprised when he went to reporters and said this.
Everyone on the team must protect their riders. In Formula 1, a lot depends on psychology. All racers are true masters of their craft, but you can’t succeed if your mind is in the wrong things.
I was surprised that Zach came out and said that Riccardo lived up to expectations. We all know this. But if your team leader says this openly, it’s hard to accept. And judging by Daniel’s reaction, he’s in pain.
I hope they discussed this after the race and focused on working to get the best out of Ricciardo and the team around him before the end of the year. And then we’ll see where it will be in the future.
When Daniel joined the team, his position was very strong. Probably the contract is written on his dictation, but in every contract there are conditions. To be honest, if a team doesn’t want you to play for them, you don’t want to. And vice versa. In such a situation, there is usually an easier way out than to look for clauses in the contract.
