00:02Daniel Ricciardo says he's grateful that Red Bull took the decision to drop him from its Racing Bulls team following
00:08the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, as he was struggling to admit he was done.
00:15Ricciardo was axed mid-season after he failed to consistently take the fight to his then-teammate Yuki Tsunoda across
00:212024's first 18 races.
00:25But in a new chat with Ford's CEO Jim Farley on his podcast Drive, the Australian has revealed he was
00:31already considering the inevitable.
00:34I think it would have been hard to be like, I'm done, because not so much for me.
00:40I think I knew I was probably done because I knew that it was harder for me to perform at
00:45the level I could.
00:46Whatever happens, you know, like, OK, Alonso, these guys are still, they're in their 40s in F1, competing very highly.
00:53For whatever reason, I lost a little bit of something, and it's OK to admit it, it's fine.
