Daniel Ricciardo has been praised for his positive attitude despite going through one of the toughest periods of his Formula 1 career.
The Australian was due to race for McLaren until the end of next season, but that will not happen. Instead, he has been cut loose a year earlier than planned owing to his ongoing struggles to get to grips with his car and deliver consistent results.
Team-mate Lando Norris has been regularly outqualifying and outscoring him, despite also having to drive an often temperamental MCL36. As a result, Ricciardo will be replaced by Oscar Piastri next year and may not find a seat for himself anywhere else on the grid.
