McLaren are said to be running out of patience with Daniel Ricciardo after an unconvincing start to his second season with the Formula 1 team.
The Australian has managed to score points in just one of the seven races so far this year, when he delighted his home crowd in Australia with a sixth-placed finish. Other than that strong showing in Melbourne, results from the 32-year-old have been disappointing.
The man who won at Monza last season has failed to make much of an impression since, and his results have been overshadowed by his much younger team-mate Lando Norris. The Briton boasts five top-10 finishes this year already and is raking in the consistent stream of points needed by McLaren.
