Or is just as I described, Ricciardo well get better the more time he spends in the car.

Norris waves to everybody that lets him through. Just because the bloke he passed was in the same car, people lose their minds.
Ricciardos greatest strength is late breaking. That is where he gets most of his overtakes from....and he is one of the best on the grid in overtaking. However, the McLaren doesn't seem to be as stable as he'd like under breaking and that is where he is struggling.
All this talk about his driving style hinges around that.
The McLaren, traditionally, has been about high end speed at the expense of cornering speed.
Looking at the speed trap data, this continues to be true. https://f1i.com/news/400883-bahrain-speed-trap-who-is-the-fastest-of-them-all-3.html
@Bahrain, Ricciardo was 3rd fastest in the speed trap at the start/finish line and 8th fastest at the other speed trap.
Interestingly, he was ahead of Norris in both.
More interestingly, he was behind the crap teams like Haas and Williams....both of which have similar issues with cornering at pace.
Danny Ric and McLaren need to work out some kind of compromise for the benefit of eachother.

I'm a Ricciardo booster, he is known as "The last of the late brakers", a style of driving I admire, why he and Alonso are my among my favourites.
He has a McLaren car with known high end straight line speed and strong braking, a car they(the experts) thought suited his driving style to perfection.
But this year he can't get past anybody!

Imagine asking BT's for his expert AFL on matters. :-[
Its relatively simple aerodynamics tradeoff. The faster the car in the straight, the slower the car in the corners.
The McLaren has always been that way, going back to the Senna days. McLaren was the fastest. The Ferrari was the best in corners and the Williams was bang in the middle of both. Made for good racing.

Unfortunately for Ricciardo, there are more signs from the weekend he is losing the top support of his team. It's no accident weird little things keep going wrong with his race, it's all about being the team's B option.
You get the 2nd best engineers, the 2nd best parts, the 2nd best tyres, the 2nd best strategy, it all has an impact.
He would have expected to arrive at McLaren as the A option, it'll be very hard for him to regain that ground now which is a bit sad, because it looks like when it is all equal he's as quick as ever.

Things happen. There is a 50% chance that it will happen to him. Just because it does, it doesn't mean its because he is the 2nd driver.
You remind me of the guys you so often take aim at. Robbo and co with their sensationalist journalism.
Nothing to see here.

It's a brutal business.
