F1: Daniel Ricciardo says Sebastian Vettel may be 'frustrated and vulnerable' at Ferrari

The Hindu  

Daniel Ricciardo thinks Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel may be feeling "frustrated and vulnerable", like the Australian did before he left Red Bull. Speculation over Vettel's future has been rife during a frustrating season for the Scuderia, with reports in June claiming the four-time world champion was considering retiring at the end of 2019. Asked about his former Red Bull teammate's situation at Ferrari, Ricciardo told Corriere della Sera: "Maybe he's experiencing something like what I felt a year ago: frustrated and vulnerable. Ricciardo has endured a tough start to life at Renault – where he signed a two-year contract – following his switch from Red Bull ahead of the 2019 season, finishing in the points just three times.
