Daniel Ricciardo has admitted 2018 will make him stronger in the future. "There was the contract stuff, the high of Monaco, the low of the DNFs -- mentally it's tested me," he said. "But I feel it's only going to make me stronger down the track." Ricciardo had ups and downs in 2018. He had technical trouble with Red Bull, stronger teammate Max Verstappen, in addition, he decided to switch to Renault in 2019.
