One of the brightest talents in Formula 1, Daniel Ricciardo wasn’t able to evolve as he changed teams, and that was his undoing in Formula 1.

Daniel Ricciardo came and went without a World title
A Red Bull-backed driver, Ricciardo made his F1 debut as a mid-season replacement for HRT when he replaced Narain Karthikeyan for the final 11 races of the 2011 season.
He joined Red Bull’s sister team, then known as Toro Rosso, in 2012 before being promoted to Red Bull Racing in 2014 where, unexpectedly, he beat his four-time World Champion team-mate Sebastian Vettel by 238 points to 167 and won three grands prix.
It was tipped to be the start of his rise to F1 World Champion. A rise that never happened.
