If Daniel Ricciardo remains satisfied with the performances obtained with the new F1 cars, he emphasizes that the track exits have become more impressive and surprising.

“It happened quickly, explained Daniel Ricciardo. I felt the rear give way. I tried to catch up with her but it was already too late. With the increase in support and grip, losses of control become more violent and aggressive. »

“There’s still a bit to learn. I'm not used to ending up in the wall and this outing was really surprising. The cars grip more on the track, but they bite a little more when things go wrong. They’re new beasts, but I’m staying positive and enjoying them.”, added the Red Bull driver.

Ricciardo keeps his spirits up
