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.

It's a level playing field and despite all the excuses you want to make the public comments from the McLaren management can't be ignored. They responded to Ricciardo's claims of problems at the weekend and said it was primarily Ricciardo's fault due to mistakes in practise, qualifying and race.
