Daniel Ricciardo's F1 career is, for the meantime at least, now over, with Kiwi Liam Lawson taking over his seat at RB.
Our Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock discusses the fallout across the ditch and the angst at Red Bull with how they've handled the situation.
“It was really, really average human behaviour, I thought, from the people at Red Bull about not fronting up and not owning their decision.”

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from Newstalk ZB.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Let's get you across the tasmonstrating correspondent Adam Peacocks, whether
bleaterslow to this evening Adam to the narrow defeat last weekend,
give you a bit of optimism the Wallabies could win tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
More optimism than twenty minutes into the game. Point the
balance of the game gave optimism. But Joe Schmidt, he's
not really into noble losses or close losses. He's in
about building something and that twenty minutes obviously wasn't good enough.
They need to be better than that, and some set
piece is still that they need a lot of work on.
But they're things that over time evolve. It's not like
(00:47):
the new coach can go and click a finger, Oh
the scrumbs better? Are the lineouts better? There are things
that they need to work on because like maybe the
fabric of Australian rugby doesn't teach the fundamentals well enough.
So when you get to that stage up against the
lead opposition like the All Blacks are and like the
Northern Hemisphere teams in South Africa, you're going to get exposed. Yeah,
(01:07):
there's a little bit more hope at the end of
that game than there was minute midway through, because they
thought they were watching another all of his all of
his performance that they dished up in Argentina.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
For instance, we had David Campezi on the show last
weekend on Sunday and he I don't know whether this
is a theme that's common. You might know he's not
a big fan of having a non Australian as coach
of the Australian rugby team. Is that a widely held view?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Not by me, not by some fans. But I can
get Campo's point of view because he's put on the jersey,
So I get he might go back to his days
when he was sitting there and he'd rather hear from
someone who knows where he's from, his backstory, all those
things that go into it you take time to pick
up if you're from beyond our boarders. So I get
(01:55):
what Campo is saying. It's not I don't think he
means any xenophobia, vite or anything like that. He just
he probably feels that Australian jersey means more to an
Australian than to others. And that goes the coach as well.
But I don't subscribe to that theory. I'm very much
a best person for the job, whether they be male, female,
(02:16):
kiwek Irish, Australian, don't care. And I reckon judgment's up
there with one of the best available options.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
All Right, we look forward to this afternoon for you,
this evening for us. It's a big day in Australia.
The AFL Grand Final Sydney Swan's Brisbane lines at the
Melbourne Cricket Ground. So two non Victorian teams are Swan's
slight favorites.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, yeah, that've been the best side for the majority
of the year. They had a really weird kind of
free quarter point period where they just dropped games for
fun after going undefeated for so long to start the season.
But Brisbane have just shown this tenacity and they got
to a Grand Final last year that they've shown this
ability in bigger games to kind of just stay in
(02:58):
it and then be really really good when it counted,
So that that kind of puts the market the squeeze
on the mark. I reckon, like, if Brisbane didn't get
to the Grand Final and manner they did, Swans are
probably dollar thirty favorites, but yeah, I can see a
tight game, especially and it's kind of captured. Sydney has
(03:20):
captured Brisbane has captured Melbourne, of course, because these two
clubs actually started in Melbourne or a big part of
the club. It was South Melbourne for Sydney and it
was Fitzroy for Brisbane before mergers and relocations happened for
various reasons. So yeah, there's a bit of everywhere in
the country kind of involved in this one to day
and they're expecting record ratings on TV for it because.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Of that, and to the NRL Week three of the
finals before the Grand Final next weekend. The Stormer they're
far too good for the Roosters last night. I actually
thought the Roosters were a good team until I saw
them play Melbourne last night. Any chance the Sharks upset
Penrith to night or are we storm Panthers next weekend?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah? About a week ago, Piney or less than a
week ago, after the two games were set, I thought,
I can't see either of these two sides getting closer.
If there was going to be one of them, it
was going to be the Roosters, And I mean first
first tackle of the game. They lose their starting front
rower Lindsay Collins, with stuffed their rotations up on the
bench and you know Lynchay Collins is his world class player,
(04:23):
so he dropped out and in the end, I mean
Melbourne were just too good and they picked a part.
Melbourne is so good at picking a perceived weakness of
a team and then really going at it and making
him to a gaping wound. And that's what they did
yesterday with Luke Keary in his defense unable to get
the protection to him, so they blew him apart in
the first half tonight. I can see the same thing happened.
(04:43):
Penrith are just so good at being just robotic in
what they do at a million miles an hour and
I don't think Sharks can cope with them, unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And just before you go, hi, excitement here in New
Zealand yesterday with confirmation that Liam Lawson will have a
Formula One drive for the rest of this year and
presumably for he does well, he'll keep the seat next
year at red Ball. This of course is at the
expense of Australian Daniel Ricardo's that's the reaction being on
your side of the Tasman to this.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, it's nothing to do with Lian Lawson. I don't
think there's any shade been thrown at him. It's not
his fault. He's just a good young driver waiting for
an opportunity like Oscar Piastre, like Daniel Riccardo did back
in the day. Purely down to Red Bull and how
they've handled this. It's been an abomination. I think. I
(05:29):
think Land was on your radio station earlier in the
week with your breakfast presenter saying that now I kind
of got wind of this, that this was going to
happen two weeks ago. All of that was the case.
Give Daniel the due course of a proper send off
when it happens last weekend in Singapore. Instead, he just
kind of had to guess for himself and then make
his own kind of feelings clear at that Grand Prix,
(05:50):
whereas it was really really average human behavior. I thought
from the people at Red Bull about not fronting up
and not owning their decision. Make the decision. It's fine,
the kid's a good driver, obviously, Land Lawson. There's an
outside chance that if if Sergio Perez drives like a
bustard for the rest of the year that Learnin could
(06:10):
be elevated into the main Red Bull team because he's
gone into the the junior team. So just own your
decision and it's fine. Everyone will get on. And I
think Daniel Riccardo would have appreciated that as well. So
that's where all the angst from Australia has come this
week because he is so loved over here, Daniel Ricardo
and will continue to visa.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, and what knicks for him? Does he? I mean
he probably won't drive Formula one again, will he? Will
he stay in a car of some sort.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
N these guys get opportunities to drive, you he'll come
back and drive things like Bathi's that wouldn't be surprised
if he ends up in Indy car and things like that.
There's so many options. He can drive the mine and
he can drive various freelancers, just go around the world
and drive races, nothing like the thrill and glamour of
Formula One. He apparently had the opportunity to become the
(06:56):
reserve driver again of Red Bull and he told him
where a sticket? So I can understand that unless something's
changed in the last twenty four hours. But one thing
I know about Daniel. He'll get on with life and
he'll be okay. He's done pretty well for itself, so
it's it's not like the end of the world for
him and it's oh my god, he's outing the stritten
where's he's going to live? Type thing. It's just how
(07:18):
you treat people, and that's the thing. And I think
Daniel Ricardo's coming come out looking better out of this
than certainly his exposes.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Absolutely right. Hey Adam, always great to chat Australian Sport
