Ricciardo: "Renault move is 'f***ing terrifying"

Daniel Ricciardo has provided some reasoning as to why he opted to announce his departure from Red Bull for the end of the 2018 season to move to Renault, but admits that the prospect of switching Formula 1 teams is 'f***ing terrifying'.

The Australian has been part of the Red Bull family for a decade whether it be as a junior driver or a driver with Toro Rosso or the Red Bull works team, but in 2018 he has suffered a disappointing campaign in which he has recorded eight DNF results.

With Max Verstappen viewed as the golden boy of Red Bull by many, Ricciardo decided to make the big decision to move to Renault, even if the idea is scary to him.

“I needed to listen to my heart, I needed to go it alone and make my own decision,” Ricciardo told The Player’s Tribune.
“Change is scary – it’s f***ing terrifying.

“And I know the next part of my journey won’t always be easy, but I had to take this step to try to be the best version of me. That’s all it was. It was the next step, the next leap, a new challenge.
