Daniel Ricciardo has "clarity" over his McLaren future after clear-the-air talks with chief executive Zak Brown.
The McLaren tsar was not in Monaco for the last Formula 1 race two weeks ago, instead preferring to be further north in Le Mans that weekend. But he would no doubt have been watching from afar as Lando Norris secured more valuable points – but Ricciardo once again had another weekend to forget.
He failed to score points for the sixth race out of seven, with his eight points for the campaign all coming at his home race in Melbourne. A struggle to be competitive in his second season with the team had Brown admitting publicly that the Australian had "not met his or our expectations".
