Ricciardo will exit the team at the end 🌠of this season and is fighting to retain a spot in the , after being replaced by Oscar Piastri.

Norris has consౠtantly outperformed Ricciardo this season but insists he 🐈has done so in machinery that is unfavourable.

“There have been things said that he doeꩲsn’t suit the car, and everyone thinks that I do suit the car and the car is made around me and all of that stuff, but it couldn’t be more untrue,” he said on Beyond the Grid podcast. 

“Not that I hate driving the car I am driving now, bu♒t it’s very unsuited to my driving style.

“I would say at t🌳he beginning of the year it suited Daniel a lot more than it suited me in terms of how you had to drive it. 

“That𓂃’s something I really struggled with at 🐓the beginning of the season and I’m coping with or have adapted to it a lot more now. 

“I would say [I’ve become] more well suited to🍷 it.”

“Bu🧔t it is far from a car that I would want in an ideal world. If I wanted to go and do the best lap possible and you give me that car to go and do so, it is definitely not the car that I have now.

“We do drive in different ways, and therefore what we request from the car is quite different. But by no means is it anywhere near 🌳more adapted to me than to him.

“I’ve had to adapt a lot mo💧re to the car. There’s not a lot that the team can do for me in terms of car. They just make it as quick as possible all round. 

“🌺It’s not like, ‘Lando said this and we’re just going to do that, and Daniel, we’re not going to do that’. That’s just stupid to ev🦄er think.

“I feel like I am driving a pretty similar car in terms of characteristics as the car I drove in my first year in Formula 1. It’s changed in little ways, but nothing I would say now i🐻s more adapted to me than in my first year of racing.”

Norris backed Ricciardo to find a new seat for the F1 2023 season: “I think he’s proven in his career how quick he is, what he achieved when joining Red Bull🐻, the wins he did — he never won a boring race, he always won exciting ones, did it in style.

“He proved it many times — in Monaco when he had to deliver in qualifying and stuff like that he could do exactly ꧃that.

“I don’t need to say it. I think e♕veryone knows how good he is and what he can achieve.”

Norris and Ricciardo are among the top earners in the 2022 list of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 driver salaries.

The final yeಞar of Ricciardo’s contract was was paid off.

He will now consider other opportunities - there are vacant seaꦑts at Alpine, Haas, Williams and the possibility also exists to take a ꦅhiatus from F1.
