Marko wishes former driver Ricciardo ‘success, but…’

Helmut Marko hopes Daniel Ricciardo bounces back in his current McLaren struggles, but only as far as third place “behind” Red Bull’s two drivers.

Racing at home for the first time since 2019, Ricciardo is dreaming of a points-scoring finish at this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix.

That, however, is about as high as McLaren can aim right now given their “fundamental problems” with the MCL36.

The team has scored six points in two races with Ricciardo yet to get off the mark, his best result being his P14 at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Marko, one of his former bosses at Red Bull, hopes the Aussie comes good sooner rather than later.
