Mark Webber once gave friendly advice to Daniel Ricciardo, who replaced him at Red Bull Racing in 2014, but he didn’t listen to his older friend and compatriot. It turns out that in 2018, when Riccardo was about to leave the team, Webber tried to dissuade him.
“I really wanted him to stay with Red Bull,” Mark said in an interview with British television channel ITV. “I think he remembers me trying to convince him to stay a few years ago. But then of course he really wanted to go to Renault and from there he switched to McLaren.
Now, after a break in his career, he returns. The stopwatch never lies, you give up when you’re under pressure or you endure.
In general, we will now see Daniel back on the starting field and he will have to adapt very quickly in AlphaTauri in order not to underperform Yuki Tsunoda, his partner. I hope he can handle it and show good results.”
Already driving the AT04 at the Hungaroring this weekend, Ricciardo said of his attitude: “I intend to just go to the start and have fun, so I will be working with my right foot more than my left! ..
I don’t think I will be under any pressure as there are only two races left until the summer break so it is unlikely I will be tasked with achieving anything before August.”
