Throughout the weekend, the team struggled to break into the top ten, with Ricciardo’s 14th place finish being their highest result. Ricciardo attributed their difficulties to the low track temperatures, which prevented the drivers from maximizing the heat in their tires during the race. He also noted that the restarts did not work in their favor.
