Daniel Ricciardo fala sobre os altos e baixos emocionais da F1

O ex-piloto de Fórmula 1 Daniel Ricciardo descreveu os altos e baixos dolorosos do esporte, observando que existem "muitos dias que doem". O australiano compartilhou essas reflexões após se aposentar da F1 depois do Grande Prêmio de Singapura de 2024.

Daniel Ricciardo se aposentou da Fórmula 1 após ser dispensado pela Racing Bulls ao final do Grande Prêmio de Singapura de 2024. Ao longo de 14 temporadas com equipes incluindo a Red Bull, ele conquistou oito vitórias em grandes prêmios e 32 pódios em mais de 250 largadas. Ricciardo expressou relutância em se concentrar nas decepções, mas reconheceu a realidade delas em uma entrevista com o CEO da Ford, Jim Farley. "Tudo o que sobe, tem que descer. E há muitos dias que doem", disse ele. "Há muitos dias em que você fica frustrado e há tanta coisa fora do seu controle." Ele destacou sua baixa taxa de sucesso, com apenas oito vitórias em mais de 250 corridas, chamando os dias bons de "poucos e distantes entre si". Ricciardo observou que a raridade do sucesso torna os momentos altos ainda maiores. Vencer um grande prêmio trazia um sentimento "poderoso", como um "superpoder" por aquele momento como o melhor do mundo em uma única tarefa, repleto de adrenalina, orgulho e força, mas ao mesmo tempo mantendo os pés no chão. Após sua saída da F1, Ricciardo assumiu o papel de embaixador global da Ford Racing.
