168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo believes his premature exit from McLar🀅en has proven to be a “blessing for disguise” after getting another opp♚ortunity in F1.

After two difficult seasons alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris, Ricciardo was dropped for F1 2023 as McLaren opted for the highly-rated 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri.

This left Ricciardo without𓆏 a drive, even though he had the possibility of going to Hꦓaas for 2023.

In the end, Ricciardo rejoined Red Bull as t൩heir third drive🎃r.

After just 10 races, Ricciardo’s 🌳return to F1 was༒ announced, replacing Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri.

The Australian will remain with the Italian-based team alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda for 2024.

In an interview with Motorsport.com, Ricciard𒉰o opened up 𝐆about why his time away from the sport was beneficial.

“Look, as uncomfortable at times the Mc💧Laren situation was, it was a blessing in disguise,” he said. “Let's say they cancelled my contract because I needed to step away to kind of re-find myself, re-find my love and get the hunger back as♕ well. 

“I think there were🍬 a lot of elements that had just been a little bit hurt or bruised from ℱit all, like my drive and my motivation. So, I just needed to find that again and that time away gave that to me.”

Rꦯicciardo spent six months on the sidelines effectively, allowing him to consider whether he still wants to be an F1 driver - and if he hღas the motivation to get back to his best form.

He was dismꦑantled by Norris at McLar▨en, with many questioning if the ‘Red Bull Ricciardo’ was still there.

“When you go through something, obviously it can change you a little bit and give you maybe a different perspective,꧂ or make you appreciate the good times more or understand how to handle the low,” Ricciardo added.

“Or when you were down, 🍸maybe thꦅen you realise what's important to you and what isn't.

“So, just through all of that stuff, I think you learn a lot about yourself. And I think coming out of it, I realised thatও I still really love this, I still do believe in myself.”
