Ricciardo and Tsunoda disagree over RB swap call in F1 Bahrain GP
During the 2024 F1 opener, Tsunoda was asked by RB to let his teammate Ricciardo pass him so he could challenge Magnussen on faster tires. Tsunoda initially disagreed but eventually obeyed the team order on lap 50. Despite the swap, Ricciardo couldn’t overtake Magnussen but managed to retain 13th place. Tsunoda expressed his displeasure on team radio and even made gestures towards Ricciardo. While Tsunoda was confused by the team order, Ricciardo had expected it based on pre-race strategy discussions. Ricciardo was open to swapping positions back with Tsunoda if required by RB and felt that the delay caused by the swap affected his race. Both drivers planned to discuss the incident further in the team briefing after the race.
