Daniel Ricciardo, an Australian Formula One driver, isn’t doing well at the McLaren team, and his problems persisted in the Austrian Grand Prix.

The Honey Badger may have been extremely frustrated as a result of these difficulties because he was observed losing his cool with his car before the sprint race. Daniel Ricciardo placed 17th on the grid despite having a subpar timing of 1m 09.852s.

After the Q1, Riccardo felt unsatisfied with his vehicle and that the MCL36 generally had some issues. “It presumably exists to some degree everywhere. We aren’t significantly falling behind in high speed or anything like that. I believe it’s sort of just everywhere accumulating a little bit.”
Future in Formula One of Daniel Ricciardo in jeopardy as McLaren may sabotage Williams’ plan for rookie
Since joining McLaren, Ricciardo has had trouble matching the performance of teammate Lando Norris. While there were reports of him being cut from the team midway through the season, he’s continued to hold onto his place for now.
According to Ted Kravitz, Oscar Piastri, a young Australian star, might take Daniel Ricciardo’s spot at McLaren. Kravitz forewarned Piastri’s manager, former Formula One champion Mark Webber, that he may be considering moving the Australian rookie into Ricciardo’s position for the upcoming campaign.
Piastri won championships in Formula Three and Formula Two in back-to-back seasons, but he was unable to secure a seat in the F1 for the current year. According to reports from last month, Piastri was close to agreeing to a contract with Williams for a seat in 2023.
