168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo has revealed that his RB F1 car wasn’t “functioning at 100 per cent” during the ♏Saudi Arabian♊ Grand Prix.

Ricciardo enjoyed a torrid weekend at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit as he was out-qualified by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

Tsunoda managed to progress into Q3, with the gap between the pair a🅷round 0.5s.

On race day, a sloꦓw pit stop compromised Ricciardo’s 🔯race as he ran at the back of the field.

To mak🎃e matters worse, Ricciardo spun late on at Turn 1, but managed to keep it out of the barri♌ers.

Reflecting on his weekend, Ricciardo said: “It was always going to be an uphill battle. We simply don♍’t have everything functioning at 100 ♋percent.

“We see a few flaws, honest🔜ly, with the car, so we’ve gotta get that fixed for the next one.”

♏It means Ricciardo has started the 2024 on the back foot relative to Tsunoda.

The eight-time grand prix winner has his eyes on a Red Bull seat next year, and so far, his🍃 perforꦐmances don’t warrant it.

In the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, Ricciardo only 🐈finished ahead of Tsunoda in the race thanks t🍎o team orders.

Despite his struggles, R🌱icc🔯iardo is “staying optimistic”.

“The reason I’m staying optimistic is because I know that we had some things wrong,” he added. “With a good car and everything📖 sorted, I know we can do a lot better. So painful three days, but I don’t want it to take any confidence out of us.

“Hasn’t been the start ﷽that we wanted, but it’s Race 2, and Melbourne’s next. So♐ yeah, big push for everyone to get it right and we’ll have a good weekend. I’ll obviously put this weekend behind I think, just push the team hard.

“Already last night I stayed quite late to try and help everyone find the issues. Just up to me now to keep on ’em. I know they want it as bad as I🌜 do.

“So, make sure that w𓂃e have a good package into Melbourne. My season will start there, and kick some ass.”
