At the beginning of the (European) summer of Formula 1 in August, Daniel Ricciardo made an unexpected decision and broke with RBR, after a decade pbaded, to sign with Renault. However, his compatriot Mark Webber, who has long been guided by RBR, said he is concerned about the decision made by Daniel, claiming to be opposed to the maneuvering of this 29-year-old man.
– I think we are all worried about this. People (RBR) would like it to stay. I always have contacts in the team, just like my friend David Coulthard, and we always talk about it. I had a strange dinner with Daniel and told him my opinion, which has not changed. I'd love it to stay in the RBR – reveals in an interview to Australia's "Sports Radio" radio site.
Webber's main concern is that Renault will reduce the number of its teammates in F1, contrary to what will be injected by RBR, especially when Honda will grant a generous allocation to the use of the engines of the team. According to former Vettel teammate, RBR may not be very strong in 2019, the first year of the partnership, but it will definitely be the team that will be in 2020.
– With l & # 39; Honda's money and investments, I do not think they'll be extremely strong next year, but I think it will be a very good team in 2020. But win the results of the Renault RBR the l & # 39; next year will be difficult because the French team wants to limit its investments. in different domains. It is difficult to enter a team that adopts this state of mind.
Daniel Ricciard confirmed his departure from the RBR at the end of the Formula 1 season. Speaking for the first time of this exchange, Ricciardo explained in detail the process that led him to accept the proposal to go to Renault. According to the Australian, the decision was not easy. And even with the French team on their radar some time ago, the decision was finally made on the eve of the official announcement.
– This was not something I had decided weeks or months ago. Then everything happened during the announcement, just before the holidays. But Renault was already in my radar for a while, they did not come out of nowhere at the last minute. I really doubted what to do, and this process took a long time. Even during the weekend of the Hungarian GP (his departure was announced the following Thursday), I did not know what to do. I tested it Tuesday and I had time to think about 48h when I made my decision. It was not easy, it had to take into account several factors and variables. When I weighed myself, I was looking for a change of scenery and a new challenge.
