At the Canadian Grand Prix in 2025, Daniel Ricciardo was behind the wheel of a Racing Bulls machine \u2014 but his time at the team was cut short later in the year when he was replaced by Liam Lawson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Ricciardo hasn\u2019t been a regular in the paddock since that time, he appears to bear no ill will toward Lawson \u2014 and in fact has provided him with some key advice heading into Sunday\u2019s race.<\/p>\n

Liam Lawson shares Daniel Ricciardo advice ahead of Canadian Grand Prix<\/p>\n

The 2024 Canadian Grand Prix was a strong weekend for the Racing Bulls teammates of Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda \u2014 and it was the Australian who emerged as the star.<\/p>\n

From fifth on the grid, Ricciardo brought his car home in eighth place. While that singular performance wasn\u2019t enough to preserve the Australian driver\u2019s place on the team through the end of the season, it seems as if Ricciardo hasn\u2019t held any grudges against the man who ultimately came to replace him: Liam Lawson.<\/p>\n

Lawson was promoted to Formula 1 after the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, having subbed in for an injured Ricciardo in 2023 as well.<\/p>\n

While Lawson\u2019s season has been tough so far \u2014 he started 2025 as a Red Bull Racing driver, only to be demoted after just three races \u2014 he\u2019s found an ally in Daniel Ricciardo.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49\u00a0Eight iconic F1 moments from the Canadian Grand Prix<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI actually spoke to Daniel last week about this track and he loved it,\u201d Lawson admitted during Thursday\u2019s FIA press conference ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Despite having competed in a handful of events over the previous two years, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is not one that Lawson has experienced before.<\/p>\n

While the Kiwi initially tried to play it coy about the advice he received, he did ultimately admit that Ricciardo told him to \u201cuse lots of kerb. That\u2019s probably the main one.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a track where as drivers\u2026 it\u2019s a bit unique compared to most tracks that we drive on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be quite bumpy, and obviously there is a lot of kerb use around it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, yeah, I think it\u2019s unique, it\u2019s something that we all enjoy, and I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making any predictions about his performance at a track he\u2019s never been to before is a challenge, and Lawson said as much when asked if he felt the Racing Bulls machine would be as quick in 2025 as it was in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to know that the car was fast last year,\u201d he said, \u201cbut at the same time, it\u2019s quite often now that we look at last year\u2019s results and, to be honest, they don\u2019t repeat themselves a lot of the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cTracks that maybe we haven\u2019t been strong at, we\u2019ve actually been strong at this year, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we just have to take it like any weekend. For me personally, it\u2019s a track that I\u2019m very excited for. It\u2019s an iconic place. It looks like a fun track.\u201d<\/p>\n
