丹尼尔·里卡多承认他希望自己没有在2018赛季结束后离开红牛一级方程式车队。
这位澳大利亚人在红牛车队赢得了七个大奖赛，但他在离开车队并加入雷诺车队参加2019赛季时震惊了所有人，留下马克斯·维斯塔潘成为车队无可争议的主车手。这位荷兰人在2021年连续赢得了四个世界冠军，而里卡多在2021年蒙扎为麦凯伦赢得了一场比赛后，他的F1生涯在2024年结束。
在Beyond The Grid播客中，里卡多确认车队希望他留下，并承认回顾过去，他会做出不同的选择。
“如果我要简要回答，是的。我想我会希望留下，对吧？我说我想，这听起来并不令人信服。我希望留下，但，我不知道，当时我离开是因为我觉得自己有点过于舒适，有点自满。我认为有一种尝试新事物的渴望。所以我不知道，这并不是黑白分明。”
这位37岁的车手表示，这次转会让他失去了可能是他赢得世界冠军的最佳机会。
“如果我能成为世界冠军，是的，那是我最好的机会吗？是的，绝对是的。所以从这个角度来看，我想，‘是的，我真的很想了解如果我留下会是什么样子。’我不想说我还在为此困扰，但这是我感兴趣的一个未知数，我想知道那会怎样发展。”
里卡多小心翼翼地没有声称他会打败维斯塔潘，他说那样做是不公平的。但他坚持当时他仍然处于最佳状态，这由他在摩纳哥大奖赛中的胜利和那年他在墨西哥的杆位证明。

“我不怀疑自己保持与马克斯竞争的能力，”他说。“从那时起，很明显，是的，我的职业生涯经历了一些……河流有点风大且波涛汹涌。所以，是的，那是一个转折点。”
他补充说：“如果我能再次经历它，我会留下吗？我对会发生什么绝对好奇吗？是的，答案是肯定的。所以如果你想要称之为遗憾、好奇或者其他什么，那么我会说我有。”
里卡多后来回到了红牛车队，先是作为2023年的预备车手，然后为它的第二支车队赛车，在2024年新加坡大奖赛之后，由于在车队的不稳定时期，他被淘汰了。

Daniel Ricciardo reveals major regret over 2018 Red Bull departure
Daniel Ricciardo has admitted he wishes he had stayed at Red Bull rather than joining Renault in 2019

For Red Bull fans. Keeping watch on Red Bull Racing, with F1 news, driver updates, technical insight and race analysis from Milton Keynes.
Daniel Ricciardo has admitted he wishes he had stayed at the Red Bull Formula 1 team rather than leaving at the end of the 2018 season.
The Australian won seven grands prix with Red Bull, but shocked everyone when he left the team and joined Renault for 2019, leaving Max Verstappen as the team’s undisputed lead driver. The Dutchman went on to win four consecutive world titles from 2021, while Ricciardo won just one more race - for McLaren at Monza in 2021 - before his F1 career ended in 2024.
Speaking on the Beyond The Grid podcast, the Australian confirmed the team had wanted him to stay, and admitted that, looking back, he would have done things differently.
“If I’m to answer it shortly, yes. I guess I wish I would have stayed, right? I say I guess, that doesn’t sound convincing. I wish I would have stayed but, I don’t know, also at the time I left because I felt I was getting a bit comfortable, a bit complacent. I think there was a desire to try something else. So I don’t know, it’s not that black and white.”
The 37-year-old said the move had cost him what was likely his best chance of fighting for a world championship.
“If I could have been a world champion, yes, was that my best opportunity? Yeah, absolutely. So from that point of view, I’m like, ‘Yeah, I would have loved to have known another reality of if I stayed.’ I don’t want to say it haunts me, but it’s the one unknown that I’m like, I’m so interested how that would have panned out.”
Ricciardo was careful not to claim he would have beaten Verstappen, saying it would be “unfair” to suggest that. But he did insist that he was still at the top of his game at the time, proven by his win at the Monaco Grand Prix and his pole position in Mexico that year.

“I’m not doubting my abilities to have kept competing with Max,” he said. “It’s clear that from that point on, yes, my career took some... the river was a little windy and rough. So, yeah, that was a pivotal moment.”
He added: “If I could relive it again, would I stay? And am I absolutely curious about what would have happened? Yes, the answer is yes. So if you want to call it regret or curiosity or whatever, then I will say yes.”
Ricciardo later returned to the Red Bull family, first as a reserve driver in 2023 and then racing for its second team, before being dropped after the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix after a turbulent time at the outfit.
