F1 | Webber pinches Ricciardo: “Renault? He should have stayed in Red Bull"

Interviewed by Fox Sports, Mark Webber commented on the market choices made by Daniel Ricciardo at the end of last season, underlining how this experience in Renault could decisively compromise his bid for the world title.

Despite the commitment of the French company, in fact, the RS19 is proving to be a complicated car, far from the leadership of the standings, an aspect that is obviously slowing down the career of the former Red Bull driver in no small way.

A complicated situation which at present could lead Ricciardo to lose, in the true sense of the word, two years of his career within the center of the group.

“Red Bull could count on a better package and honestly I would have preferred him to stay there,” said Mark Webber. “Obviously there were some financial terms to sort out, but Red Bull still wasn't far away from its demands. Today, given how things are going at Renault, he might regret this forced two-year break."

“Many things change in two seasons and with today's young people they are very fast,” he continued. “I think 'I'm strong and I still have time', but after a minute people come along who are faster than you. In any case, she has the ability to get out of this situation."
