Daniel Ricciardo he is finished at McLaren and will soon be 'sitting on the couch at home'. The Australian has endured a disappointing stint with the team he joined in 2021 and has been significantly outperformed by teammate Lando Norris, including in the last round at Monaco.Prior to the weekend, McLaren boss Zak Brown admitted that Ricciardo has not hit the team's expectations and also revealed that the team has an option for an early end to his contract that runs until 2023.That has increased pressure upon Ricciardo who endured another poor showing in Monte Carlo, where he crashed in practice and could only manage a 13th-placed finish, while teammate Norris came sixth and secured the fastest lap of the race.Therefore, Villenueve believes that the writing is on the wall for Ricciardo and he's set for an exit from the team, writing in his column: "Daniel Ricciardo's time at McLaren is over.

It's a way to put the pressure on the driver and prepare the media. Ultimately, he has been a highly-paid driver who has cost the team a lot of money."He doesn't bring in any points and he doesn't have the speed the team needs to develop the car.

So he's just costing them money. It would be cheaper for them to continue paying Ricciardo's salary, let him sit on the couch at home and put another driver in the car.
