The Australian has had a trying start to the season and is yet to score points.
Daniel Ricciardo admits his weakness in high-speed corners is causing him to lose to RB team-mate Yuki Tsunoda in the 2024 season. Tsunoda has had a strong start, earning points in two races, while Ricciardo has yet to score points since returning to the grid full-time. Ricciardo acknowledged that he struggles to match Tsunoda’s pace and feels he can’t access what Tsunoda can in the car. Despite trying to find solutions, Ricciardo revealed that the team’s adjustments actually made his car slower and led to a lack of confidence. Ricciardo’s performance in Australia was overshadowed by Tsunoda’s, leading him to reflect on the need to find the right balance between stability and speed. The team’s contrasting approaches in Melbourne made Ricciardo reconsider the direction they were taking, emphasizing the need for more thoughtful decision-making during race weekends.
