I think politically McLaren have pulled the pin on Ricciardo, they have seen what Brit Lando Norris can do with the car "as is", Lando being a Brit doesn't help Ricciardo.

Same was being said when Danny ric started at Renault. Halfway through the year, he got the car sorted and away he went.

How many days did Ricciardo get in pre season testing?
1.5 days. That's it.
Then, bang, race weekend.

First race he had damage to the floor which hurt him.
Last race they stuffed up a pit stop that made him have to fight for a spot he already had.
Things haven't gone his way yet, but it's way too early to make any long term calls. Let him settle in first.
