Only five drivers have scored more wins than Daniel Ricciardo in the last decade.
Hamilton
Vettel
Verstappen
Rosberg
Bottas
Arguably none of his eight wins were achieved with the fastest car on the day. It's a brutal game sometimes.

1. This amount of reform implies a collective failure beyond one man. Even if his position was untenable.
2. If the new structure needs clear tweaks e.g. two Race Directors leads to inconsistency. Then make changes immediately, mid-season.
