    I still remember that interview with Alonso when he was asked who was the best driver at the time. Hard pressed to find much better praise than that, this guy definitely at the very least had a championship in him. Right team wrong time, wrong team right time, whatever the case, he just never had the machinery that could do it.

    He - his personality - was the reason Drive to Survive worked, and for a few magic years, it looked like a championship was possible...inevitable, even.

    The only what if that sees Danny living to his potential is him moving to McLaren first instead of Renault. That puts him with a rookie Lando who does not have 2 years to build trust with the team. In addition, it was always weird to me that he went to the team who ultimately built the engines that failed him so often.

    One of F1's what ifs, it's a shame how his career eventually fell off a cliff, which is crazy for anyone that have been watching F1 for a while

    I remember when there was a lot of rumors of him going to Ferrari replacing Kimi. But yet again another prodigy came up to take that sea, just like a Red Bull.

    1000% if ricciardo stuck it out for a couple more years he would be thriving under these current regs. They suit his driving style SO MUCH
