Daniel Ricciardo's insistence that he will not walk away from McLaren makes perfect sense...but it has put the ball back in the team's court says OllieHarden. F1
That the option belongs only to Ricciardo underlines how drastically the fortunes of team and driver have differed since their original agreement in May 2020, McLaren tentatively re-emerging from the wreckage of the Honda years and Daniel, winner of seven grands prix forMcLaren were considered lucky to have him back then, but two years on there is a convincing argument that the need to constantly carry Ricciardo is weighing them down.
Unlike Ricciardo, McLaren would not be short of options – albeit most untried and untested – were a vacancy to open for 2023 with their admiration for IndyCar drivers Colton Herta, who conducted his first F1 test with the team last week, and Pato O’Ward well established.– have they not been paying attention for the last four years? – as well as Alpine junior and 2021 F2 title winner Oscar Piastri, reigning IndyCar Champion Alex Palou and Williams driver Alex Albon.
Just how far is Zak Brown prepared to go to activate the “mechanisms” in Ricciardo’s contract to which he referred over the Monaco weekend? Might this yet be heading for a repeat of 2010 when“I still want this more than ever,” Ricciardo claimed in his statement, supposedly shutting down suggestions that his struggles had extinguished his passion for the sport and whispers that even he, the eternal optimist, could see no way out.
