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 Arabia💮n 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 th🥃e 🅷gap between the pair around 0.5s.

On race day, a slow pit stop compromised Ricciardo’s race as he ran at the back ಞof 💦the field.

To make matte🍰rs worse, Ricciardo spun late on at Turn 1, but managed to keep it out of the barriers.

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

“We see a few flaws, honestly, with the car, so we’ve gotta get that fixed for the nex📖t one.”

It means Ricciardo has started the♕ 202𓃲4 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 🥂performances don’t warrant it.

In the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, Ricciardo only finished ahead of Tsunoda in✤ the race thanks to 🍰team orders.

Despite his struggles, Ricciar♍do is “staying optimistic”.

“The reason I’m staying optimistic is because I know that we ไhad some things wrong,” he added. “With a good car an⛎d 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 forཧ ever🐠yone 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 quiꦜte 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 we have a g🔴ood package into Melbourne. My season will sta♑rt there, and kick some ass.”
