Daniel Ricciardo has slammed the Formula 1 stewards' decision to hand him a three-place grid penalty for Sunday's Australian Grand Prix after being deemed to have failed to slow enough for a red fl🔯ag during practice, calling it "shithouse".

Home 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:favourite168澳洲幸运5官🐼方开奖结果历史: Ricciard𒈔o was handed the sanction after he was adjudged to have failed to slow do♍wn enough for a red flag midway through FP2 on Friday that was called for a loose wire on thꦉe main pit straight.

The red flag was called through Ricciardo's qualifying simulation lap, and while the stewards did acknowledge he made an effort to slow down by 175 km/h and was only "slight👍ly below the minimum ꩲtime" required to get back to the pits, it did not stop them from handing the Red Bull driver a three-place grid penalty.

Speaking to Australia's Channel 10, Ricciardo said he was "pissed" about the decision that has harmed his hopes of becoming the firs🐬t home driver to finish on the podium at the Austral♉ian Grand Prix in the F1 era.

"Is it worth a grid penalty?” Ricciardo asked. "I think common sense sho♒uld have prevailed. It was a cable on the track. I didn't pass th𒅌e incident.

"I think it’s shithouse."

As well as the three-place grid drop, Ricciardo also ꦆpicked up his first two penalty points on his FIA Super License for the 12-month period.

Qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix takes place at 5 p.m. local time in Melbourne (6 a.m. UK), with rain ▨threatening to impact the running t🍌hrough the day.

"I don’t think it will hurt. We always enjoy some wet weather," Ricciardo said following practice on Fr🔯iday.

"It kind of evens everything out.ꦉ Today in the dry we did not look too bad, which is good. I think the wet will gives us potentially a bit 𝓰more of a chance.

"The last wet qualifying we had here w🅺as 2014 and that was not too bad. Hopefully we can try and do that again."
