[Saba Sports News] During the TV broadcast of the Barcelona practice session, fans noticed that Alpha Tauri F1 Team’s Daniel Ricciardo had written “Fight or Die” on his helmet. Ricciardo, 34, has scored only 9 driver points in 2024, less than half of teammate Yuki Tsunoda’s points. Consequently, Ricciardo has faced media and fan criticism. With Tsunoda securing a new contract for next year and reserve driver Liam Lawson performing well last season, Ricciardo needs to score more points in the remaining races to keep his seat. Despite the pressure, Ricciardo remains determined, as demonstrated by the message on his helmet. At the Canadian Grand Prix, Ricciardo achieved his best result of the season, finishing eighth. After the race, he expressed feeling more relaxed and hoped to continue performing well in Barcelona.
