Matters got a little heated between the RB teammates at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday.
Daniel Ricciardo expressed his desire for teammate Yuki Tsunoda to “calm down” after a team order controversy during the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing pit wall instructed Tsunoda to let Ricciardo pass during their battle for 12th place. Although Tsunoda initially resisted the call and voiced his frustration, he eventually yielded to Ricciardo. Ricciardo had a strategic advantage with fresher tires, and he understood the team’s decision. Despite failing to overtake the competitor, both drivers finished outside the points. Ricciardo mentioned he would have given the position back to Tsunoda if it had mattered for points. He anticipated discussing the incident in a team briefing and hoped Tsunoda would reflect on the situation calmly. Ricciardo emphasized the importance of teamwork and long-term collaboration in the context of a full F1 season.
