Daniel Ricciardo: “At least another podium”

2019 will mark a turning point in the career of Daniel Ricciardo since the Australian pilot will leave the fold Red Bull to join the ranks of Renault, and support Nico Hulkenberg within Renault Sport F1 team.

But before this change of horizon, Ricciardo hopes to offer his current employer other podiums before the end of the season, he who has not experienced the joys of the first three places since his triumph in Monaco.

“Normally I don't like second and third places, but I'm going to take them now to get back on the podium and have some champagne, comments Ricciardo with his usual mischief.

The series was long without a podium. At least give me one more. When I say give it to me, I still have to work for it, we still have a good chance. We're going to make the most of it, that's what I'm going to try to do. »
