453Ricciardo to Perez: "I'll take a year off, then I'll be back in 2024"https://t.co/WdGQE1Roqs The Australian has not been in prime form at McLaren and had a disastrous race at the Dutch GP in Zandvoort last weekend - finishing outside the points - while his teammate Lando Norris finished seventh. The Australian admitted that he faced an uphill tasj after a poor qualifying session, where he was eliminated in Q1. He said: "It was always going to be a tricky Sunday because of where we started and the nature of the track. The first few laps were not too bad. I think we made some places here and there, but starting that far back, it's hard to make a big impression." He continued: "You need a big difference to make some moves and overtakes. In clear air, it felt like I had a little bit of pace to use - but it didn't always seem to last long. So, obviously another challenging weekend Ricciardo is now looking forward to the next race this weekend at Monza, where he won last year. "We look ahead to Monza, and I'll try to bring back last year's magic."
