revealed that he "won't make life easy" for championship leader Max Verstappen if he was to be promoted to. The Japanese driver is confident in his ability to contend for the championship at Red Bull but acknowledges there's still much to learn from the Dutchman.
Ricciardo currently sits in 13th place in the Drivers' Standings with 12 points, trailing his teammate Tsunoda, who holds 12th place with 22 points—nearly double Ricciardo's tally.
