Ricciardo continues to believe in world title: "I'm good enough to achieve that"

Daniel Ricciardo was sentenced to fights in the midfield last season. In 2020 Renault still doesn't seem to be able to make the step to the top and of course it remains to be seen whether that will change in the coming years. However, his goal remains unchanged: to become world champion.

"My basic target with this whole journey was not just get into F1. It was to leave a world champion", says the Australian in an interview with the BBC. If that doesn't work out, he will retire somewhat disappointed.

"I really believe I am good enough to achieve, so I would feel it has left smelting on the table." At Renault he will probably have to hope for the rule change before 2022. He doesn't have any guarantees that this will be successful and he philosophizes openly about it.

"The challenge is to position yourself with the best team at that moment and when rule changes come in, it’s, like, is that still the right team to be with, or are we missing something? Do we need to try to build on what we've got here?
