Ricciardo will exit the team at the end of this season and is fighting to retain a spot in the , after ܫbeing replaced by Oscar Piastri.

Norris ha🌃s constantly outperformed Ricciardo this season but insist🥂s he has done so in machinery that is unfavourable.

“There have been things said that he doesn’t suit the car, and everyone thinks that 🔯I do suit the car and the car is made around me and all of that stuff, but it couldn’t be more untrue,” he said on Beyond the Grid podcast. 

“Not that I ﷽hate driving the car I am driving now, but it’s very unsuited to 🍎my driving style.

“I would say at the beginning of the year it suited Daniel a lot more tha🐻n it suited me in terms of how you had to drive it. 

“That’s something I really struggled with at the beginning of the season and I’m coping with🦩 or have adapted to it a lot more now. 

“⭕I would say [I’ve be൲come] more well suited to it.”

“But it is far from a car that I would want in an ideal world. If I wanted to go and do the best lap possible and you give ♛me that car to 🌸go and do so, it is definitely not the car that I have now.

“We do drive in different ways, and therefore 🔯what we request from the car is quite different. But by no means is it anywh🐠ere near more adapted to me than to him.

“I’ve had to adapt a lot more to the car. There’s not a lot that the team can do for me🦂 in terms of car. They just make it as quick as possible all round. ♛;

“It’s not like, ‘Lando said this and we’re just going 🐠to do that, and Daniel, we’re not going to do that’. That’s just stupid to ever think.

“I feel like I am driving a pretty similar car in terms of characteristics as the car I drove in my first year in Formula 1. It’s changed in little ways, but nothing I💃 would say now is more adapted to me than in my first year of racing.”

Norris backed Ricciardo to find a new seat for the F1 2023 season: “I think he’s proven in his career how quick he is, what he achieved when jo෴ining Red Bull, the wins he did — he never won a boring race, he always won exciting ones, did it in style.

“He proved it many times — in Monaco when he had t♍o deliver in qualifying and stuff like that he could do exactly that.

“I don’t need to say it. I think everyone knows how good he is and what he can achieve.🅺”

Norris and Ricciardo are among the top earners in the 2022 list of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 driver salaries.

The final year of Ricciardo’s contract⛎ was was paid off.

He will now consider other opportunities - there are vacant seats at Alpine, Haas, Williams and the possibil꧒ity also exists to take a hiatus from F1.
