Ricciardo: This year, all teams can reach the podium

formula 1

Australian Daniel Ricciardo believes that this season all teams have the opportunity to qualify for the podium in one of the races, after only three out of ten failed to do so last season. Ricciardo moved to McLaren this year, and last year he raced for Renault and brought the French team podiums at the Eiffel Grand Prix in Germany, the first since 2011. The rules have not changed significantly this year, so the Australian believes that "every team has the opportunity to turn to the podium, if not every, then at least the vast majority. " Ricciardo expects the Ferrari team to show much better form this year than last year and to intervene in the trio of McLaren, Alpine F1 and Aston Martin. “Mercedes will still be at the top, but the rest of us are trying to close the gap and I believe it will be very evenly matched,” he added.

Red Bull have confirmed that a problem has also arisen on Ricciard’s race car in Malaysia.
