We quoted Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko, who made it clear that Liam Lawson will replace Daniel Ricciardo in the RB line-up in the near future. On Thursday in Spielberg, the Australian racer said no one on the team had told him such a thing.
Daniel Ricciardo: “I’m very good at not reading things like that and I didn’t know anything until they told me [о словах Марко] in Spielberg. I have no emotions about this, because I know that in Formula 1 everything depends on the results and this gives me the best chance to stay. I know my sweet smile or anything else doesn’t guarantee me staying – only results.
The team is not putting any extra pressure on me, no one has given me an ultimatum or anything like that. I have been racing in Formula 1 for many years and I know that if everyone is constantly in front of me every weekend, at some point I will be asked to leave, but this is not the situation I am in now.
Christian Horner, Laurent Mekies, everyone in the team supports me. They do everything they can, but at a certain point I’m driving alone and I have to step on the accelerator.”
