Ricciardo still angry at Stroll
Meanwhile, the Miami Grand Prix is just around the corner, but Stroll and Ricciardo have still not spoken to each other. The latter no longer feels the need to do so either, he said ahead of the race weekend: "I feel it's [the conversation] not going to go anywhere."
Ricciardo continued: "If he texted just saying, ‘Yeah, you know, my bad, whatever’, okay, I can accept an apology. I'm not that much of an asshole. But the fact that there's not even that, I'm like, he clearly doesn't think he did anything wrong. So, I guess there's not much to say."
