P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Red Bull called Daniel Ricciardo’s Mexican Grand Prix performance “remarkable”. And all the evidence suggests it won’t be a one-off. Scott Mitchell-Malm explains why the AlphaTauri lets Ricciardo perform how he couldn’t at McLaren
he exposed different weaknesses from his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. However, with AlphaTauri, Ricciardo finally had the opportunity to adjust the car to his driving style. By carrying more speed through the corner and creating a “U” shape, he was able to make the most of his preferred approach. The set-up adjustments provided the rear instability and grip he needed for a smoother and more consistent performance. This shift in driving style not only highlighted Ricciardo’s potential as Max Verstappen’s future teammate but also breathed new life into his post-McLaren renaissance. Despite the setback of breaking his hand earlier in the season, Ricciardo’s outstanding performance in Mexico showed that he is back to his old self and capable of achieving remarkable results.
