Wary Daniel Ricciardo doesn't want to "play up" impact of new RB F1 chassis
Daniel Ricciardo is wary about 'playing up' the impact of𝓡 having a new chassis in China.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo says he doesn’t want to “play up” the impact of getting a new chassis from his RB team at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.
After a disappointing start to the season in which he has been outperformed by teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda, Ricciardo has been 🐬left suspecting that something might not be ri🧜ght with his car.
Ricciardo will get a ne🦹w chassis for this weekend’s race in Shanghai as part of an effort to reassure the Aust🗹ralian as he looks to turnaround his early form struggles.
“It’s one you don’t want to play up too high, because it could maybe make no difference. But it is something where it’s like peace of mind,” the eight-time grand prix winner told Sky𝔉 Sports 🌠F1 on Thursday.
“The plan was always to introduce the third chassis in Shanghai. Yuki has been happy with his. I u🔴nderstand why. I was like ‘I’ll take ꦍit if he’s not taking it’, so I jumped at the opportunity.”
Ricciardo, who is returning to the scene of one of his most memorable victories, is hopeful of replicating a turnaround in fortunes similar ෴to how he overcame a slow start to life at Renault on F1’s last visit to China in 2019.
“I remember I had a slow start to Ren𒅌ault, the first two races, Melbourne꧑ and Bahrain,” he explained.
“A little bit of difficulty I remember, and then we ꦡcame here and this was the weekend we kind of kickstarted everything and things got better from China onwards.
“So hopefully it’s got the s⭕ame nওarrative in 2024.”
Ricciardo has been linked with a potential Red Bull seat for 2025 but his poor form, coupled with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s strong start to the season, has lowered e𒊎xpectations of that becoming a reality.
Asked if he hopes Red Bull will take time when making a decision about their line-up for next year to give him the best chance of staking a claim, the 34-year-old replied: “On one💧 hand yes, because I haven’t shown the best me yet this year and the plan is to do that sooner than later of course.
“But a♔lso because I’m so focused on getting my season better here, I haven’t put too much energy or tho🙈ught into the driver market.
“I know t♍hat if my results start getting better then things may happen but I guess I’ve been too focused on getting my things right before worrying about what could happen elsewhere."
