Is Daniel Ricciardo's F1 career in danger?
Australia’s Channel 10 presenter Scott MacKinnon told the F1 Nation podcast that he thinks Ricciardo is in trouble.
“Unfortunately, Danny is swimming upstream,” he said. “I think he’s in a massive hole at the moment I hate to say it as a massive Danny Ric fan. You can see the look all over his face – he's a dejected figure.
“He got that love back when he was here last year, and he saw what he was missing out on.
"I think he believed going back into that Red Bull stable, that it was all just going to come to him again," MacKinnon continued.
“He was in exactly the same position when he was in McLaren. Remember how hard he was battling away and then somehow, he jagged that victory and it seemed to right all the wrongs?
"But we know it didn’t work out in the end. I know there’s pressure coming.”
