Jean-Eric Vergne understands why Zak Brown decided to let Daniel Ricciardo go despite giving McLaren their first race win since 2010 24316 "One good result is not enough"Jean-Eric Vergne understands why Zak Brown decided to let Daniel Ricciardo go despite giving McLaren their first race win since 2010 https://t.co/NPKmAyXblA According to Vergne, this lack of performance with respect to teammate Lando Norris resulted in the team parting ways with the Australian. In an interview with Sky Sports, Vergne said: "To be honest I don't know, we make a lot of scenarios with this, the only thing that the team must be seeing is the difference between him and Lando. So yes, he has won a race for McLaren and that race was probably his best race at McLaren. There were also the team orders in that race with Lando being told to hold station behind Daniel Ricciardo to secure a 1-2. Would he have won the race if Lando was allowed to attack him, I don't know. But, unfortunately, that was one good result is not enough." He added that it is a business and such decisions have to be made: "At the end of the day, it's a business the teams are not in a business to compete but to win. To be at the best form that they can compete in. When there are two drivers and there is a big difference between them, at the end, when the difference keeps on being the same, I can understand where they are coming from. I'm not saying it's a good way, I'm not saying it's fair. Our sport can be cruel and we've seen it in the past, we see it today and we're gonna keep seeing it in the future."
