Red Bull boss Christian Horner has unloaded on Aussie F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo for leaving the team back in 2018, declaring he turned his back on a ‘stratospheric offer’ in what amounted to ‘spectacularly bad timing.’. Despite being the number two driver, at just 22 Norris is believed to earn more than Ricciardo’s reported $17million a year. Horner recognised Ricciardo’s talent from a young age, nurturing him through the team’s second-tier F1 outfit, Toro Rosso. Ricciardo unexpectedly left four years later in a move which dumbfounded Horner at the time. Horner went onto state that Ricciardo is a ‘great driver with a big personality’ and that Red Bull were sad to see him jump ship.
