DANIEL RICCIARDO’S Formula One career has been blasted as “terrible” by former champ Jacques Villeneuve – or at least, half of it. Ricciardo, 33, has won eight races during his time in F1, but is just 14th in this year’s driver championship with only 19 points. “He had two terrible years at Renault and two even more terrible years at McLaren. If you have an offer to drive in Formula One, then you take every cockpit. “In public you will say you don’t want to drive for one of the back teams, but if that’s the only contract you can get, then you’ll sign it.”. You can take a big risk which is great when it works, but it’s bad when it doesn’t.
