I’m probably just going to end up resenting the sport: Ricciardo

As reported by Motorsport.com, Daniel has struggled to settle into his McLaren. While his teammate has been fighting at the front, the Aussie driver has been battling it out in the midfield. Now, the Honey Badger believes that he might end up despising the sport at the end of the season.

“I feel like it’s obviously for whatever reason been a very unexpected and difficult season so far, just from a pace point of view,” said the McLaren driver.

“And I guess the easiest way for me to kind of move forward is to accept that. Did I expect more? Absolutely. But I think if I every weekend go into it now expecting to be quicker than Lando, or whatever it is, I’m probably just going to end up resenting the sport because clearly, it’s going to take a bit more,” said Ricciardo.
