Daniel Ricciardo has criticised the way Formula 🃏1 continues to emphasise the use of crash footage across its social media channꦜels.

The new McLaren driver was left “disgusted” by F1’s decision to show replays of Romain Grosjean’s fiery crash at last year’s Bahrain Grand Prix, which he branded as being 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“completely disrespectful”.

And now Ricciardo has taken aim at F1’s approach to 𝓰focusing on crashes on its social media output.

“I think last year, F1 put on their social channels, like, or something, and eight of the t🧸en were crashes,” Ricciardo said in an .

“I was just like, you guys are fucking idiots. Maybe 12-year-old kids want to see that kind oꦿf content, and that’s cool because they don’t know any better, but we’re not kids. Just do better, guys. Do better than that.”

Ricciardo also questioned the portrayal of his relationship with Carlos Sainz during the second season of Netflix’s Drive to Survive ♛series, which has faced criticism for how it depicted the rivalry between Sainz and Lando Norris at McLa🐟ren in season three.

While the Australian praised the fly-on-the-wall documentary show for ultimately helping to boost interest in F1, he warned the series risks becoming another “reality TV showܫ” if it continues to exaggerate drama in the paddock.

“I mean the second season, there were some episodes or parts where I feel they ꧂force♓d it a little bit,” he explained.

"They tried to create a bit of a rivalry between me and Sainz and it wasn’t r🎐eall🐼y there. Like, he’s no more a rival than anyone else.

“There wasn’t any personal grudge with him, but I think [Netflix] wanted something, so a lot of questions led with askin൩g about Carlos. Maybe no🍌 one noticed, but for me, I was like, he’s fine.

“I’ve probably got other guys that I dislike, you know, a🐟s opposed to Carlos… I mean, he dresses like a 60 year old🍌, but otherwise he’s alright.”
