Daniel Ricciardo says he is “excited” about his prospects at McLaren, as the team launch their new car and driver line-up for the 2021 season. Ricciardo, who joins after two years at Renault, said: “Everything I have seen excites me about where McLaren is heading. Ricciardo, who won seven races for Red Bull between 2014 and 2018 before deciding to leave for Renault, made the decision to join McLaren before the delayed start of last season, after just one season with the French car manufacturer. “More teams than not finished on the podium last year,” Ricciardo said. There were things to improve but on the whole it was a much better season than year one (in 2019). Seidl said it had been “a great achievement” to secure third place last year and that there were “a lot of positives” heading into the new season.
