RB driver Daniel Ricciardo has opened up about his difficult start to the 2024 season, while explaining why he is optimistic that he can turn things around and avoid the same fate as his previous stint at McLaren.
Ricciardo returned to the sport on a full-time basis with
the then-named AlphaTauri team midway through last season, having dropped off
the grid at the end of 2022 after leaving McLaren earlier than planned amid
struggles to live with the pace of team mate Lando Norris.

Ricciardo has been outperformed by the sister VCARB 01 of Yuki Tsunoda over the
opening three rounds of the season.
