Speaking to a number of media outlets, including ESPN, on Thursday at Spa-Francorchamps, Ricciardo acknowledged t✅he busy press session once agai♉n.

"I thought today would've been a lot smal🧸ler, I thought you would have forgotten about me already," Ricciardo said.

“I definitely made a point to enjoy it all. The media day, there𒉰 was a lot. I think I joked it was like I won a world championship there was so much interest. But you kind of just have🔯 to soak it all up and enjoy it.”

Despite his positive start, Ricciardo admitted there’s still a lot more room for improvement as he targets an ult♛imate return to Red Bull in the future. 

"I know the sport well enough not to assume every time now I'm going to be quicker. I know there is still going to be more for me to learn," 𓆏Ricciardo added.

"I think the weekend as a whole went well, on Monday I was pretty knackered as well. I was very low-key, I just reflected on i♏t, yes I was happy with my performancꦿe, but I was happy about the way I was going racing again.

"Obviously꧑ I'm very results-driven, but I felt like I had done everything I needed to. In the end, whatever you call it, a bit of bad luck at Turn 1 or whatever, it meant 13th. But I was still happy with everything that I ꩲput into the weekend.

"The support I got from the team, that's also an unknown, how they're going to react and respond to a new driver. A week ago they didn't know I was going to be driving the car. Also the spotlight is on the team. I🐓 think everyone handled it well."
