Daniel Ricciardo plans to "get top sixes every weekend" and wants to finish on the podium "in the next few months" in an impressive show of self-confidence given his McLaren struggles.
The Australian is halfway through his second season with the team, but his form continues to stutter. Bright spots include his shock win at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix, but they have been few and far between.
Instead, the 33-year-old has finished outside the points at far too many races as he struggles to get the most out of his car. Team-mate Lando Norris sympathises and understands why it has been so difficult for the former Red Bull and Renault racer.
