Daniel Ricciardo says he needs to work out what he is “missing” as he continues to struggle in qualifying compared to team-mate Yuki Tsunoda.
Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration about his qualifying performance this season, trailing Yuki Tsunoda 7-3 in grid-setting sessions, especially evident after the Monaco Grand Prix. Despite struggling to keep up with his RB team-mate, Ricciardo acknowledged the need to self-assess to identify areas of improvement. In Monaco, he qualified 12th, while Tsunoda made it to Q3 for the sixth time, a feat Ricciardo achieved only once. Ricciardo cited difficulties with tire management and generating enough heat and energy, emphasizing the need to address his own shortcomings rather than solely blame external factors. Looking ahead to the Canadian Grand Prix, Ricciardo aims to reclaim his qualifying form and narrow the gap with Tsunoda.
