Daniel Ricciardo says he wants to remind the Formula 1 world that he’s “still here”. “It’s not about me this year,” the 33-year-old wrote on Linkedin. Ricciardo admitted, however, that it’s the first year in over a decade in which his goals are not “100 percent about racing and competing”. “It’s been a tough couple of years professionally, so there’s an element of that competitor in me wanting to remind people that I’m still here, still a professional and still contributing to success,” he said. “I don’t want the year to pass me by, because if I am racing again next year, I’ll wish I’d made the most of the free time whilst I had it,” Ricciardo added.
