However, keeping this standalone race aside, his position in the team looks a bit dicey. McLaren’s contract with Ricciardo runs till 2023, with an option to extend further for the upcoming years. But given his string of lukewarm performances, it is not clear yet if we will see Danny Ric wearing the papaya colours beyond this season.
On the other hand, Charles Leclerc is having a pretty contrasting season. He has accumulated 71 points from the three races and is the number one contender to win the drivers’ championship.
