From 2019, Daniel Ricciardo's humour and smile will be present in the Renault garage. The French team are hoping this will provide good moral within the environment to help pick up better results.

"His laughter and positive attitude. Both parts that I think were missing within the team," Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul told Auto Motor und Sport.

"Sometimes you need a fresh wind in a team, new energy and a look at things. That is probably also the reason that Red Bull did not give Daniel permission to drive our car in Abu Dhabi because he could already give us tips on where we could improve. If Red Bull consciously deprives us of this opportunity, then it seems to me that we are heading in the right direction."

With Red Bull switching engine supplier and moving away from Renault, things could well get interesting between these two teams next season!
