Ricciardo’s last F1 win was at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix and he struggled this season, his only top 10 finish coming at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. Ricciardo once again finished behind Norris, despite the young Brit suffering from tonsillitis. If Ricciardo is resigned to being the second-best driver at McLaren, it could leave his career at a crossroads.
