Daniel Ricciardo will prioritise car performance above all else when it comes to negotiating his next contract in Formula One -- a decision that could dictate whether he achieves his goal of becoming a world champion.
Ricciardo has just one year remaining on his Red Bull contract after joining the drinks manufacturer in 2008 as a junior driver on his way up the motorsport ladder. For the first time in his career, he will be a free agent in 2019 and there is already speculation over where his next move will take him.
He has claimed five victories since joining the senior Red Bull team in 2014, but has not had a car capable of challenging for championships.
