Daniel Ricciardo reveals what he needs if he is to stay at Renault for 2021
F1 News
Daniel Ricciardo has said that he needs to see improvements if he is to stay at Renault past 2020. The Aussie is confident that these improvements will be made but knows that it is going to take a lot of hard work.
When asked by BBC Sport what it would take for him to re-sign with Renault, Ricciardo said, "Obviously improvements - not just from one position to the next, but solid improvements that actually we could realistically fight for a podium at some point next year. That would be very encouraging and motivating for everyone.
"I know we're still a long way off that but I still believe it's in reach. I don't think we're dreamers; we just have to clean up a few things. I still look back at Canada - if we can qualify fourth at the seventh race of the season, I still believe anything's possible with these guys."
It will be interesting to see if Renault can make these improvements and if they can get back to the top of Formula 1 like the promised Ricciardo in 2018.
