How Daniel Ricciardo went from F1's best driver to sacked twice

Daniel Ricciardo's Formula 1 career ended in mediocrity. But the driver he was during his swan song with RB, and his two at-times-painful seasons with McLaren, isn't the Ricciardo who will be celebrated in the annals of F1 history. He may have bowed out as an also-ran, but in his pomp Ricciardo was outstanding. There were even occasions - two seasons, in fact - where you can make a compelling case that he was the best-performing driver in F1. That might come as a surprise to those who witnessed him only in recent years, when there's been no more than very occasional glimpses of the Ricciardo of old and results have been patchy. But forget the driver who finished in the points only 11 times in his last 50 grands prix; Ricciardo was something else in his glory years. 00:00 Introduction 00:58 Road to the top 02:07 2014: The first great year 05:00 2016: The second great year 07:49 2021: The struggles begin 10:59 Ricciardo's legacy READ MORE HERE: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/wa...
