Daniel Ricciardo was very dissatisfied with his performance after the Styrian Grand Prix. The Australian finished in 13th position, which meant he was unable to score any points. This weekend he gets a second chance in Austria.

The McLaren driver is having a hard time in his new team this season. Where the former teammate of Max Verstappen struggles to score points, Lando Norris regularly drives between Red Bull Racing and Mercedes. Ricciardo will be demanding more from himself in the coming races, although it won't be easy.

"Sunday I was, if I may say so, pissed off," the driver told Motorsport.com. "Pissed is not a curse anyway, but you guys will probably blurt it out. The race actually started well. I was behind George [Russell] who was also having a good race, and then it all went wrong for me."

Disappointment for Ricciardo

Ricciardo could not immediately shake off the disappointment. "Sunday night I was down. But eventually, I woke up on Monday, and I sweated all the anger and toxins out in the sauna. And since then it's just been looking forward to this weekend."
