Andreas Seidl assures that the McLaren team, together with Daniel Ricciardo, will continue to do everything they can to show the Australian better results behind the wheel of the MCL36.
So far, Ricciardo has managed to score points in just two of the seven races and regularly lags behind Lando Norris, his partner – this was also the case at the recent round in Monaco, where Daniel crashed his car on Friday, on Saturday he was able to show only 14th result in qualifying, after which he took 13th place in the race. Norris, by the way, finished 6th.
“Overall – and Daniel is willing to admit it himself – he is still not 100% comfortable behind the wheel of a car, especially in qualifying, when you have to get the most out of it, to the limit,” said the head of the McLaren team. – In addition, he has a very strong partner, and if you list everything, we see that he is behind Lando.
Although Daniel just couldn’t have performed better in the race in Barcelona (where he was 12th), after the Spanish Grand Prix it was necessary to analyze everything, we did it and found a problem with his car. It is important that we have found an explanation for what happened next, and that we have drawn conclusions.
All we can do together with Daniel – with both sides determined to make improvements – is just keep working hard and trying to close the gap. As always, it’s important now to stay calm and composed, which we do with him.
We will work on the simulator with him before we go to Baku, after which I hope we can take some small steps forward in the next races to help Daniel fly comfortably, especially in qualifying.”
