The168澳洲5最新开奖结果: F1 2023 calendar has thrown up a record-setting 24 races (set to be reduced to 23 if the Chinese Grand Prix is cancelled) but Ricciardo w♕ill not be a full-time driver after his axi💙ng from McLaren.

Although he won’t be a regular fixture in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 driver line-up, he has agreed terms over a third driver ℱrole with Red Bull, the team he previously represent꧟ed.

"I won’t be at 24 races," he told Sky.&𝓰nbsp;"Otherwise I may as well still be on the grid. I made it clear that I neede🦩d time off.”

Ricciardo said to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jenson Button: “I remember Barcelona last year, so very early in my McLaren career. I out-qualified 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris and [Button] said to me: ‘It’s about time you sho🍷wed some pace!’ 

“I remember you scratchi😼ng your head about why I was struggling w🍌ith the car. Sorry to leave a fan frustrated! 

“It has beaten me down, the past couple of years, which is why I want a little bit of time removed. I want to find a part of myself agai𝓀n and rebuild a little bit. When it doesn’t work you can so easily just be angry, bitter, have ꧑negative emotions to something you love.”

Ricciardo finished a dreadful season 11th in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 standings after a P9 in Abu Dhabi.

“I’m relieved with how the race ended,” he said. “I look back to a week ago - if that was the finale, it would have left a sour taste in my mouth. To see the chequered ♓flag, to be in the points, to hold off Sebastian Vettel was fun. I cross🐈ed the line and put in a solid effort which leaves me fulfilled. 

“There were races where I felt more comfortable but this was the difficulty - all of a sudden, a week later, I’d be back where I was. The consistency and the unknown were what made it so t🍨ricky. I’m happy to have had a few nice ones since the summer break.”
