In a chat given to the microphones of "SpeedCafe.com", Mark Webber analyzed Daniel Ricciardo's season with the colors of Renault, underlining how the Australian managed to grow the team, bringing it back to the podium after several seasons of difficulty, especially from a technical point of view.

According to the former Red Bull driver, "Danny Ric" managed to make the most of the potential of the technical package put on track this year by the Enstone team, an aspect which allowed the team to achieve several top 5 placings, including with Esteban Ocon, and a fifth place in the constructors' championship, which is fundamental for 2021.

Important ingredients that he will have to bring to McLaren, a team called to confirm itself after the splendid performances shown this year with Carlos Sainz, who moved to Ferrari, and Lando Norris.

“I think he rode great this year,” said Mark Webber. “I spent more time with Daniel in 2020 than I ever have before and it was pretty cool to see how much fun he had. He felt appreciated by the team and I believe he will find this feeling again in McLaren in 2021."

“He is an infectious character and with his work he has given new vitality to Renault,” continued the Australian former Red Bull. “The team, thanks to his push, did a great job. Furthermore, compared to the past, he was constant, a factor that allowed him to make very few mistakes during the championship. I believe that with these credentials he will be able to do well at McLaren. He needs more podiums."
