Ricciardo reflects on burnout during final F1 years

Daniel Ricciardo, speaking on the Beyond The Grid podcast, has looked back on the final stretch of his Formula 1 career with a more reflective view after two years away from the sport.

After losing his McLaren seat, Ricciardo returned to Faenza with hopes of a Red Bull comeback, but he did not regain his earlier form. Apart from his shock Italian Grand Prix victory, he did not finish on the podium in his last 70 races. Red Bull chose Liam Lawson for the second RB seat.

Ricciardo said that by his final race, the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, he was "getting beat up" and that he had grown more burned out, though he admitted he still wanted to prove something to himself.
