F1 | Webber: “Ricciardo think first about beating Verstappen, then about the contract”

The former pilot of formula 1, stated that if the Australian wants to get a place in a top team in 2019, he will inevitably have to be faster than his teammate.

The contract of Daniel Ricciardo will expire at the end of 2018 but he stated that he needs time before making a decision, as his priority is to aim for a top team and stay there for a long time.

He is of the same opinion too Mark Webber but he added that the most important thing at the moment is not to think about the future, but to beat Max Verstappen:

“I think the best thing for him is to be stronger than Max– commented the Queanbeyan rider a Fox Sport- he is aware of this and I think he will give his all to achieve it. Only then will he be able to think about the options.".

According to some rumors, Ricciardo could take over Valtteri Bottas to the Mercedes:

“Obviously we're talking about it, their contracts are both expiring and Daniel, being a high-level rider, could take his place. But I don't think Mercedes is in a hurry to make a decision, they will keep an eye on Valtteri and see his progress probably until the Canadian Grand Prix.".
