Formula 1: Aussie Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo revealed his emotions towards the 2024 British Grand Prix.
There’d been concern among some rival team bosses during the pre-season that RB was profiting too heavily from its tightening relationship with Red Bull Racing this season, with testing times hinting at a big step forward.
Troubleshooting was clearly required, but the next race was the sprint round in Austria, where practice was condensed into a single hour. The team tried to experiment, but again neither driver cracked Q3. — said after the triple-header the team had decided to remove most of the upgrade to try to restore its equilibrium.
“Between on-track, the wind tunnel and all these things have to correlate perfectly. That’s where we didn’t quite get on track what we thought we would compared to what they saw in the data. “It’s a double negative effect — not only did you not pocket the advantage you wanted, but you also have to delay the next one until you actually understand what’s going on.”
The team had set its sights on what would’ve been a best-ever fifth-place finish in the constructors championship in June. Aston Martin was fading, and RB was the only team of the lower part of the pack scoring reliability. That said, seventh for Lance Stroll and eighth for Alonso could easily have been a solitary point just for the Canadian had three frontrunners not ended up out of the points.
At Silverstone Hülkenberg qualified and finished sixth, easily ahead of the rest of the midfield, including ahead of both Aston Martin drivers and less than 10 seconds behind the works Ferrari team.It was such a step forward that Hülkenberg reckoned even Aston Martin, 41 points up the road, could be in Haas’s sights.
It would be a remarkable turnaround for the American team, which squandered a decent start to this rules era to botched upgrades.
