Ricciardo and Norris give themselves these ratings after 2021 season

Ricciardo starts counting from one, but eventually reaches the sufficient: "Four and a half, five… six. Six? Six", said the Australian, who also has a reason for this. "Well, it’s all about results, isn’t it? Winning the Italian Grand Prix definitely boosted me up to a six, but I wouldn’t say there were too many amazing results this year. That wasn’t through a lack of trying or effort, though. So yeah, let’s settle on six."

Ricciardo finished the season in eighth place in the championship with 115 points, where his British teammate finished on P6 with 45 points more. "I’d give myself a strong 8.8," said Norris. "Eight is a bit low, but nine is a bit like, ‘Calm down.’ So, yeah, 8.8. The reason for that score? I would say it’s been my strongest season in F1.

Ricciardo then jokingly responds by saying he knows how to bring out the best in people. Norris: "Er, yes… I rose to the challenge. I finished on the podium four times. I let Daniel win a race. [Laughs.] And I got my first pole position in F1. But I have made a few mistakes along the way, so 8.8."
