But I still obviously like Mark a lot and respect him.” “So it’s just the circumstances and that’s how it is. I want him to have a good run in Formula 1. I don’t want to make it a bad situation for him. And this moment should be also really big for him. “He’s trying to make it, he’s trying to get into Formula 1. Ouch! Alpine not only lost Oscar Piastri, they're also out of pocket to the tune of £500,000 plus… #F1 I understand how this works,” the F1 driver of 11 years said. “I’ve also spoken to Oscar, to be honest, and just made sure there’s no bad feelings there. Ricciardo also said he had spoken to Piastri, who joins Formula 1 with quite a point to prove given the manner of his arrival, and assured him there was no bad blood between the two of them. So yeah, it was obviously nice to speak to him.” “He feels really bad, obviously, how it’s gone down and obviously how things have been put out there in the media. And he wanted to make sure I knew that and understood that. “Obviously I know how this sport is – it’s nothing personal to me. “I feel he didn’t need to, but he felt like he wanted to, in a way, apologise and try to just see how I’m doing. “We hadn’t seen obviously each other in person ,” Ricciardo, who replaced Webber at Red Bull in 2014, said as per. Piastri is represented by F1 racer turned agent Webber, and Ricciardo has revealed his fellow Australian had sought him out for a conversation and offered an apology during the Dutch Grand Prix weekend. The board ruled in McLaren’s favour and as a result, they were able to announce his arrival to the team just over a week after they had confirmed they were terminating Ricciardo’s contract early and he will leave McLaren at the end of 2022. Piastri was finally announced before FP2 of the Dutch Grand Prix as Ricciardo’s replacement at McLaren for 2023 following a case taken by Alpine to the Contract Recognition Board. Daniel Ricciardo has revealed his fellow Australian Mark Webber apologised to him in regard to his role in Oscar Piastri’s move to McLaren.
