丹尼尔·里卡多（Daniel Ricciardo
Daniel Ricciardo has hinted his expectation level set by McLaren may have been too high, for he was expected to come in and “kick ass”.
Now in his second season, the Australian has never looked fully comfortable in the McLaren car. For all his smiles and jokes off-track, it has been a different story on it and aside from a win in Monza last yearhis form has not been what the team would have been expecting.
因此，这位33岁的年轻人正前往门，他的澳大利亚同胞奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里（Oscar Piastri）准备取代他。
迈凯轮没有官方消息或里卡多himself, who took to Instagram on Monday with a holiday picture and the caption “hello”, but the driver has been speaking about the expectation placed on him.
里卡多说，他认为该团队希望他能发挥作用，但实际上这是一个缓慢的过程，尚未完成。
“This time last year there was probably a little more head-scratching from everyone,” he told RACER. “And I think that’s because…the truth is, I think they just expected me to get into the team and kick ass. So there was probably still some pure head-scratching, like ‘hmmm, what’s happening?’
“And that was probably overriding what needs to happen. I’m just speculating, but maybe too much energy was put into the why’s and this and that before it was ‘what do we need to do now to make him feel better?’.
“但是今年，有更多的了解，一年后他们现在认识我，所以我认为很清楚我在汽车中喜欢什么，甚至我发现了这一点。
“因此，当我挣扎时，团队现在就像‘哦，我可以在数据中看到它，这就是丹尼尔的感受，在过去的18个月中，他被证明了这是他不喜欢的感觉。这就是使他从将汽车推到极限的原因，而是这里的这个区域。
“因此，就开发而言，但即使是工具（例如工具） - 在开关，差异和这些事物上 - 我们能够玩耍，并且对此有更多的明确方向。这就是我觉得我们更擅长的地方。这条道路更清楚如何到达那里。
“Last year, it was still a little bit of ‘f***, what is it? What’s holding him back? Why’s he so much off the pace?”
里卡多admitted he thought the 2022 regulations might bring him better fortunes but that with his experience in the sport, he was wary of having too high hopes.
“Maybe this is with experience now, I’m always just a little cautious of how much to hope for, or how much to expect or wonder. You never know.
“I think that’s everything, even if it’s updates or whatever. If they’re like ‘this is going to be 0.3s’, let’s see it on track.
“即使团队说我们本周末有一个更新值得一秒钟的更新，直到秒表这样说，我才会做车轮。显然，这对团队没有什么，我只是认为这项运动不太高，因为它肯定可以使您恢复得同样快。
“It was exciting [to have a reset], but then I also look back at the second half of last year and although it still wasn’t the best second half of a year I’ve ever had, it was a lot better than the first. I’d built up a little bit of momentum with that car, so I was also like ‘if the rules don’t change, I think I’m in a good spot to start the second season now’.”
丹尼尔·里卡多（Daniel Ricciardo）面临着挽救自己在这项运动中的声誉的斗争
当里卡多（Ricciardo）在2018年离开红牛时，他无疑是网格上最好的车手之一。他在车手的冠军赛中获得了两个第三名，仅次于梅赛德斯二人组，如果不是马克斯·维斯塔彭（Max Verstappen）在这项运动中的崛起，而这支球队，里奇亚多（Ricciardo）可能一直留在红牛。
But one of the most in-demand drivers opted for pastures new. He plucked for the project at Renault, one which significantly increased the size of his wallet but also one he believed he could be a major part of. The team were attempting to return to the top of the spot and Ricciardo wanted to be the man who took them there.
但是事情很难走。里卡多（Ricciardo）在雷诺（Renault）黑色和黄色的第一个赛季中排名第九，没有讲台，这是他自离开托罗·罗索（Toro Rosso）以来第一次没有这样做。
In his second campaign he did achieve that elusive podium, but it came against the backdrop that his time at Renault was coming to a close with a move to McLaren confirmed.
麦克拉伦（McLaren）与法拉利（Ferrari）在建筑商的冠军赛中获得第三名，因此可以原谅他认为他正在提高自己的机会，因为他正在加入领奖台，但现实却远未达到这一点。
取出蒙扎（Monza）的胜利，他甚至没有一次这样做，并且似乎对如何从迈凯轮汽车中获得最佳状态感到不知所措 - 他的队友兰多·诺里斯（Lando Norris）似乎能够做到这一点。
这种持续的挫败感似乎影响了他和大多数粉丝认识他的晚制刹车，大胆的里奇亚多，即使他的越野举止没有表现出来，也比平常更保留。
At 33, Ricciardo is not one of the young ones anymore and there is a legitimate question of how long he has left. An end to his career now would seem premature, especially with a rumoured return to Alpine on the cards, but Ricciardo needs to start performing – and soon – if he wants to remind everyone of the racer he once was.
