The highly-rated Piastri will make his F1 debut with McLaren in 2023, having been signed to replace Ricciardo, whose contract was terminated 12 months early following his underwhelming performances alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris during his two-year stint at Woking. 

Despite losing his spot to Piastri and being left without a full-time seat in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 driver line-up, there are no hard feelings between the pair, who were 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:spꦫotted driving an orange McLaren t✃ogether in Melbourne. 

Ricciardo has even offered his young compatriot some words of wisdom as he prepare꧃s to embark on his rookie F1 season. 

“I think just go out and drive,” Ricciardo told F1’s Beyond The Grid podcast. “I know tha𒀰t sounds like a really lazy response but it’s just go and drive.

“Learn, be a sponge, but drive. Don’t see the bar too high for yourself, if you end up 🐭doing be🦹tter than maybe what you thought, awesome, but just take it race by race. 

“But as long as you are learning and you feel ♊like you are improving every race, I think that is all you can kind of ask for yoursel🃏f.”

Aside from claiming McLaren’s first victory in a decade with a brilliant drive at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix, Ricciardo endur൲ed a torrid spell as he struggled to get to grips with McLaren’s F1 challenger. 

But the 33-year-old, who has returned to Red Bull a𒉰s a third dri﷽ver for this season, reckons his difficult time at McLaren could end up proving beneficial for Piastri. 

“I think also even if we didn’t quite 💫get it right from my side, with McLaren I think they still would’v😼e learnt a bunch from our two years, and maybe things where we deviated, went a little wrong or sideways,” Ricciardo explained. 

“So, I think all that, that knowledge can be passed on to Oscar andඣ I think they will. I would like to think they will have a little bit of a head start from that point of view.”
