Daniel Ricciardo has challenged Zak Brown and McLaren to give him a “winning car” to get the best out of him amid concerns over his F1 future. McLaren have been testing other drivers in their F1 cars in recent weeks, raising rumours Ricciardo could be out of his seat.
Earlier this season, Brown claimed Ricciardo was not meeting the team’s expectations as tensions increased. However, the Australian hit back, urging them to give him a better car to challenge closer to the front.
Speaking to Sky Sports F1, he said: “Give me a winning car and I’ll win. I don’t feel I’ve ever left a win on the table. That’s the challenge that lies ahead of us, with myself and with the team at McLaren.”
