Daniel Ricciardo says he has no "excuse" for being regularly humbled by his young teammate Max Verstappen this year. Although Verstappen has had the lion's share of the poor reliability at Renault-powered Red Bull this year, it is the Dutchman who has been shining the brightest recently.
"I do not give any excuses," Australian Ricciardo, who according to team official Dr Helmut Marko is "on the market" for 2019, told the Dutch source Formule 1. "Max is just driving brilliantly this year and knows how to get the most out of the car in every race."

Gotta love Ricciardo. That's a significant admission for a guy that comprehensibly out-raced and out-qualified Sebastian Vettel. Furthermore, Ricciardo has had a good year too. Max seems to just be constantly improving.
