Ricciardo’s Insight: The Back Straight DRS Challenge in Thwarting Turn 1 Overtakes

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Daniel Ricciardo believes the placement of the DRS zone along the Reta Oposta risks dissuading drivers from attempting a move

During the Formula 1 race at Interlagos, there were two DRS zones – one on the main straight into the Senna S, and another on the Reta Oposta into Descida do Lago, each with their own detection points. Daniel Ricciardo had several battles with Carlos Sainz during the Sprint Race, but every time Ricciardo passed him, Sainz was able to re-pass him using DRS. This frustrated Ricciardo because he felt that he had made the overtakes but then immediately lost the advantage. Ricciardo ended up finishing ninth and was also frustrated with himself for leaving the door open for Oscar Piastri at Turn 8. Despite the frustrations, Ricciardo acknowledged that it was an exciting race and hoped to strategically make better moves in the future.
