The weekend saw rumours swirling through the Austria paddock that Ricciardo’s performance in 2024 – where he’s been outscored so far by Tsunoda – might mean that the Australian would fail to see out the season at RB, let alone be re-signed for 2025.
But Ricciardo said he’d been satisfied with his performances from the previous three races in Canada, Spain and Austria, as he now looks ahead to Silverstone this weekend.
ANALYSIS: Why RB have locked down Tsunoda, why he was overlooked by Red Bull, and what the move means for Ricciardo
“I look back now at the last three – the last three have definitely been better, leaving the Sunday feeling like we’ve got pretty much the most out of it,” he said. “There’s always going to be areas that I can do better and improve, but on the whole, we kind of swipe out of the paddock with a smile and feeling like we ticked most boxes, so that’s good.
“Got to keep that up, but it’s a nice feeling to fight and drive a clean race and obviously bring a couple of points home for the team. Deep down we’ll look back at our pace and say maybe we didn’t belong in the points today, but I feel like in some parts we overachieved, and we’ll maybe give ourselves a pat on the back.”
