Australian driver Ricciardo rates his 2017 F1 season as good
Abu Dhabi, Nov 24 (IANS) Australian Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo has rated his 2017 Formula One season, in which he won a race in Baku, as good.
“On a personal level, just make sure that I fill in the blanks, I guess. There have been some great races. Obviously, I would love all 20 to be great and not all 20 have been,” Ricciardo, who holds the fourth spot in the drivers’ standings with 200 points said during a press conference for the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Thursday, reports Efe.
“I think, yeah, for me, just to assess the year once it’s all settled and then just try to understand what I could have improved. I’m sure there’s on-track stuff, but also off track,” Ricciardo said while sitting alongside Germany’s Sebastian Vettel and Briton’s Lewis Hamilton, who have won four world titles each.
“Obviously, I give every year a good crack, but give next year a proper crack. I mean, between us all we’ve got eight world titles, so it’s pretty good!” Ricciardo joked.
“But, yeah, obviously, we want nine. It’s cool, I’ve been pretty pleased with the year. I’ve still got some improvements to make and I’m looking forward to extracting a bit more from myself,” the Australian driver said.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
