Ricciardo about Marko: "Maybe you should just give him a hug!"

Daniel Ricciardo competed for Red Bull Racing for a long time and was also in the Red Bull training programme. The Australian still has some tips for the driver who will be sitting next to Max Verstappen next season.

According to Ricciardo, advisor, Helmut Marko is a lot less strict than before. "He has become a lot softer," notes the Australian, according to Motorsport-Total.com. Ricciardo says that when he drove for Toro Rosso, he was afraid of one-on-one conversations with Marko.

But what he thinks the most important thing about Marko is that he will always be honest. "You always get full transparency and honesty from him. You have to accept that. You have to take that as a compliment," says Ricciardo. "Maybe you should just give him a hug," jokes the Renault driver.

"Before anyone asks, hopefully in January," Ricciardo says about the possible appointment with the tattoo artist. If Renault stepped on the podium in 2020, Abiteboul was to have a tattoo. This happened in the Eifel GP, the Emilia Romagna GP, and Sakhir Grand Prix.
