The AlphaTauri driver was effectively a lap down from the start after being caught up in the first lap incident that triggered red flags at Interlagos.
Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration with the F1 regulations after being a lap down at the start of the São Paulo Grand Prix due to rear wing damage caused by a start tire hitting his car. He and McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri returned to the garage, believing they were out of the race, but were able to repair their cars during a red flag period. However, they were forced to restart from the pit lane, while the rest of the field had completed a lap behind the Safety Car. Ricciardo highlighted a flaw in the rules, as they started the race a lap down without having completed a racing lap. He questioned whether the same would apply if multiple cars had damage. The incident took Ricciardo out of contention for points, despite showing strong pace throughout the weekend. He emphasized his desire to help the team secure seventh place in the championship.
