“To be honest, at that point, I didn’t see Alex Albon," admits Daniel Ricciardo at Suzuka
RB driver Ricciardo and Williams ’ Albon both saw their races cut abruptly short on the first lap at Suzuka.
Albon’s attempt to overtake Ricciardo resulted in a collision which brought out the red flag and the Safety Car.“Simply, we - Yuki and myself - struggled on the medium. I could see that he got away poorly.“In Turn 2, I felt that it started to settle. Getting traction out of Turn 2, I struggled a lot.“I saw Alex’s onboard and he got so much better drive out of Turn 2. He then got onto my right side.“Not the way you want Sunday to go.
“In hindsight, we should have put on a soft. But coming into the race, we thought were the best thing.The unfortunate collision represented the latest downbeat moment in a very difficult season so far for Ricciardo. He entered 2024 buoyantly hoping to earn next year’s Red Bull seat but, after four rounds, might even be battling to retain his current drive.
His best result of a drab campaign was 12th in Australia, his home race, which he entered under a cloud of scrutiny about his future in the sport.Lewis Hamilton reveals damage suspicions as he explains George Russell swapCarlos Sainz confesses next F1 move depends on rival drivers deciding first
