Daniel Ricciardo believes that if it weren’t for the red flag timing, he could have finished in the top five of the Mexico City Grand Prix. Despite that, he found positives in racing against George Russell until the end of the race. AlphaTauri performed well in Mexico and Ricciardo qualified fourth and ran fifth for most of the race. However, a red flag caused by Kevin Magnussen’s crash led to a restart where Ricciardo dropped positions to Russell and Lando Norris. Nonetheless, Ricciardo is happy with his seventh-place finish and the six points earned, as well as the opportunity to battle a Mercedes car at the end. He believes that without the red flag interruption, they could have achieved a better result, but he is still satisfied to score his first points with AlphaTauri since returning to the team.
