Daniel Ricciardo’s poor form continues with McLaren , he has scored just 11 points this season , while his team mate Lando Norris has beaten him clearly in all the races so far and has scored 48 points till now .

Ricciardo is still not comfortable with his car and he is clearly struggling . Though he had a tough Monaco weekend , he is unshaken by his self belief and hopes to come back to winning ways . He finished P13 , while his team mate finished P6 .

In a recent chat , Ricciardo said , “Obviously, a tough weekend to take, unfortunately I’m experienced with these – had a few of them the last 12 months, so I feel like I can handle them a little bit better.

Therefore, I will continue to smile or at least try to smile but deep down I’m obviously disappointed but yes, I’ll look at it now, debrief and whatever – but just probably take a few days off.

“I have a few friends here and try to just enjoy some moments away from the track and then reset for Baku.”

“It’s tough. I mean, no mistake, Monaco you need confidence. You need to be at one with the car; for sure if you’re not quite there it can show on the stopwatch. So as much as I love this place, at the core, that’s what you need.

“I’ll say there is still some stuff to get on top off, and obviously it’s been a while now, so I wish it still wasn’t the case, but I think the reality is that. I think there will be some tracks where it just clicks from the first practice and where good, but I think I’ll expect to probably still work at it and try to keep trying.

Try to keep trying, that’s it, I won’t go down without a fight but of course I don’t wish to be fighting for 13th. [I’ll] try to get back in the points soon.”

With rumors spreading about his replacement and McLaren team not happy with his current performance , the road ahead for the honey badger is going to be tough . He needs to get all his concentration on the driving and start producing error free and solid performances to start scoring points .
