Ahead of his second season with Renault, star driver Daniel Ricciardo thinks it will be easier to work with the team in the upcoming year as he is more familiar and more experienced with the operation in Enstone.

The Aussie joined Renault after five full seasons at Aston Martin Red Bull Racing, signing a two-year deal to keep him at the side until the end of 2020. 

Although his first season had some great drives and results for the midfield team, it ultimately was a frustrating season for both Ricciardo and Renault as McLaren dominated the midfield battle.

Ahead of the 2020 season, the final one before the big regulation changes set to take power in 2021, Ricciardo explained how this should be an easier year for him and the team.

"I'm looking forward to blending into the team better on the back of having a full season behind us," the 30-year-old explained.

"So things are going to be easier in that sense. I learnt a lot about myself and obviously a lot about the team."
