Daniel Ricciardo thread

Red Bull have dropped the ball big time in Russia, Vettel cant even make Q3 and Dan could only muster up 7th (will start 6th due to KMag's grid penalty).

No mention of his 3rd in America. Was an exceptional drive once again, especially as his car didn't seem to be as quick as the two Williams cars behind him.

Probably because the race was on at 6am, I downloaded the whole Sky F1 broadcast and watched it last night.

Quite amazing it's just another normal weekend when Ricciardo is in contention/on the podium.

His passing skills have got to be up there with the best in the current crop of drivers.

His tyre management is also superb.

Suspension failure.. he was struggling a bit before that anyway and made it known he doesn't particularly enjoy Interlagos as a track but at least no one can catch him on points for 3rd.

Next year is his chance at a title with it being the last car Newey designs before taking a back seat at RB, Renault have already started building their power unit for 2015 which should see them level with Mercedes since the only reason Merc have dominated is because they built the best solution while everyone else suffered under the engine freeze.

Fail call.

Dan needs to start back-channeling for a new team, Renault and RB have bottled it.

Fastest lap on the last lap. Best result in a long time. Bring on 2021 in a McLaren/Merc

Renault looks 3rd best on high speed tracks, encouraging for Alonso next year at least.

Hope Dan can pull off a podium at Monza.

Finally got one for Renault

He missed the final test day due to a positive covid test. Hopefully all is well for the first race.
