I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Ricciardo is a spent force and I no longer think he deserves to be on the grid.
It would be really interesting to see how Ricciardo would drive his prime cars nowadays. Is he still quick in the 2013-17 Red Bull cars? Then it’s probably down to how different nowadays cars are. Or is he noticeably slower even in those? Then it’s him being past his prime.
I’ve heard that kind of excuse before
