Daniel Ricciardo is confident his𓂃 run of bad luck during the 2018 Formula 1 season will “𒈔dissolve” when he joins Renault next year.

The Red Bull driver enjoyed a s🍎trong start to the current campaign but has endured a torrid run of reliability issues in the second half of the year.

As a result, Ricciardo has not been on the podium since he won the Monaco Grand Prix in May, though he looked primed to end 🗹that run in Mexico until suffering his eighth retirement of t💝he year.

Ricciardo is hopeful his luck will change once he joins up with mi🍌dfield leaders Renault heading into 2019.

“After♔ 20♊18 the bad luck is just going to dissolve,” Ricciardo said.

“The bad lu💃ck will stay in 2018. Look, I am certainly excited for a change an🐼d a new challenge.

“But whe🌊ther I’d had a run of good races or the run I’ve had, it would not actually change my feeling about where I am going next year.

“Eveꦇn before this run of misfortune I was already looking and tempted to move on and have something different. I don’t see it any different now.

“Part of me, as excited as I am to try and have a good result in the final races, I am also jus🍃t excited to get the year finished and start fresh with a new team next year.”

Five of Ricciardo’s retirements have come in the last nine races, while Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen has enjoyed a strong run of results which has seen him score the second most amount of points behind champioඣn Lewis Hamilton in the last 10 rounds.
