Lewis Hamilton has the utmost respect for the former Red Bull driver as they have had quite a few intense on-track battles in the past and considers Ricciardo’s departure as a loss for the sport.
The Woking-based McLaren F1 team signed Daniel Ricciardo in 2021 on a three-year deal, however, after a disappointing stint, has recently decided to end the Australian’s contract by paying him a hefty amount.
Moreover, Hamilton has said that longer contracts make sense to him and while talking about it said, “When you do a short contract, it takes time to bond with the team.”
“And it takes time to build relationships, it’s not something you can do in half a year or a year. I’m incredibly grateful for my journey with my team.”
The Brit has shed light on his long career with Mercedes and has shown gratitude towards the Brackley-based team for all that they have done for him over the years.
