Max Verstappen dwingt Ricciardo tot het uiterste: "Door Max mijn niveau omhoog"

Daniel Ricciardo moet harder werken om zijn teamgenoot in de Formnule 1 te verslaan sinds Max Verstappen Daniil Kvyat heeft vervangen bij Red Bull Racing. Dat merkt de Australiër zelf ook. Buiten teambaas Christian Horner spreekt ook de drievoudig Grand Prix winnaar vol lof over zijn jonge Nederlandse teamgenoot. Hij weet Ricciardo het vuur aan de schenen te leggen, waar de voormalig Toro Rosso rijder zelf ook heel blij mee is. Daardoor komt hij namelijk zelf ook op een hoger niveau.

Ricciardo vertelde dat aan Band News FM: "Het is geweldig. Ik ben zeer onder de indruk van Max sinds hij zich bij ons team voegde. Hij is toegewijd, hij is snel en hij dwingt mij om mijn niveau op te krikken. Het is positief voor het team dat we elkaar naar grotere hoogte stuwen."
