“He’s absolutely committed”: Andreas Seidl finds Daniel Ricciardo’s work ethics commendable

When Daniel Ricciardo jumped ship and joined McLaren at the end of the 2020 season of Formula 1 after leaving Renault, his fans praised the Australian’s decision as they believed he would be successful in the papaya team. But then, the Championship started off and Ricciardo fell behind his young teammate, Lando Norris, on several occasions. Although he did light up some hopes after seizing the race win in Monza, the Grand Prix victory soon became a thing of the past as Daniel could not get similar results in the subsequent races.
To explain the reason behind Daniel Ricciardo‘s slew of upsetting finishes, many F1 pundits said the Honey Badger needed time to get settled into the team. Having moved to the British team, Daniel worked with the mechanics to personalize the car to suit his driving style, and he himself assured his followers that better days were awaiting him in terms of race results.
In the end, Daniel’s performance did not improve as the fans had all expected–and now, his days in McLaren are almost confirmed to be coming to an end. Although no official announcement has been made from the team’s end regarding the future of Ricciardo in McLaren, almost every report has suggested that the Australian will not be continuing his time in F1 with the Woking outfit.

Andreas Seidl praises Daniel Ricciardo’s “work commitment”
Despite the underperformance, the premature contract termination, and Daniel Ricciardo’s potential dismissal from McLaren, the Team Principal of the Woking-based team applauded the Honey Badger for his commitment to work. Andreas Seidl said Ricciardo is a devoted F1 racer, and that he “puts in a lot of energy” into developing the car for every race.
Speaking of how Daniel’s season has gone so far in F1 2022, Andreas Seidl said, “It is clear that if you look at how the season has gone so far with Daniel, he’s disappointed. We are disappointed as well.”
Yet, he praised the 8-time Grand Prix Champion, saying, “From his side, he’s absolutely committed and puts in a lot of energy together with the engineers, also back home in Woking to find these last percentages which are missing from time to time.”
