Ricciardo, fastest behind the Mercedes: “It was excellent”
Between the multiple controversies surrounding the legality of the Racing Point RP20, there were single-seaters on track at Silverstone (Great Britain). Daniel Ricciardo (Renault) was also one of the happiest men in the paddock at the end of Friday's free practice.
The Australian allowed himself to register the third best time, ahead of the Red Bull de Max Verstappen, in EL2. “We did a little warm-up before making a change to the car. It worked and it was excellent.”, estimates the fourth in the British Grand Prix, a week earlier.
“Daniel's timing and tenders are excellent. This is a good point as we are all two of the different tests and it is interesting to see the comparators. ”
Our pilots summed up their victory #F170.
“We had a good stint on the hard, then also on the soft. However, we were missing a little with the tenders, so we still have some underfoot. Our long runs also looked good and that’s a good base for Sunday. »
Daniel Ricciardo doesn't want to get carried away either. The topic of wind gusts should play a role in whether or not this level of performance is maintained. " Tomorrow (SATURDAY), the wind will likely turn 180 degrees. This will profoundly change the balance of the car and its behavior. »
The management of the rubber could also create surprises in England. “ The soft tire is interesting. That’s the best way to describe it! I was surprised to find that it could hold up for most of a lap (at high speed. Ed.). I even believe that Lewis (Hamilton) gained more time on the medium compound. »
