Daniel Ricciardo has admitted that he can’t “carry the speed” into corners as Yuki Tsunoda after trailing his RB Formula
Daniel Ricciardo had a difficult start to the 2024 season at his home Grand Prix, with his best lap time being deleted for exceeding track limits, leading to his elimination in Q1. Red Bull chose to start him on Soft compound tires and pitted him early on Lap 5 for an undercut strategy, but other teams reacted swiftly, nullifying the advantage. Despite boxing earlier than his rivals at the second pit stops, he couldn’t overtake the Haas drivers to fight for points. Ricciardo finished 12th as his teammate Yuki Tsunoda secured seventh place. Ricciardo was puzzled by his pace compared to Tsunoda and acknowledged that he is still struggling to match him. He is working closely with his team to improve and remains hopeful for a breakthrough in performance soon.
