McLaren's season was a collective failure and one for which the Honey Badger has paid the price. F1
walked away from the 2022 season frustrated with his spate of P7s and McLaren’s inability to even entertain a fight for podium finishes, one can only imagine how Daniel Ricciardo felt having to shoulder both his and the Woking team’s failures.
Having missed the second of the two pre-season outings through illness, Ricciardo began his second campaign with McLaren on the back foot given this year’s all-new technical regulations and brand new cars. But, he predicted, 2022 will be a “bundle of fun”. How disappointingly wrong he was. In qualifying he beat Ricciardo 20 times out of 22 and was never once eliminated in Q1. The same cannot be said of Ricciardo, out in Q1 on five occasions. Norris also progressed to the pole position shoot-out 16 times with a best of P3 at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Ricciardo managed just seven Q3 appearances, his best grid slot a P6 which was also at Imola.
