On Friday the RB cars looked very good, Yuki Tsunoda made it into the top ten and Daniel Ricciardo finished the day in 12th…
Yuki Tsunoda (10th): “This is the best Friday of the season so far. The team has done a fantastic job and now I’m looking forward to tomorrow. The qualifying results will be tight as always, but if we do everything right there is a chance to qualify for the qualifying final.”
Daniel Ricciardo (12th): “It’s nice to be back in Albert Park, it’s a very emotional place for me, Oscar and Valtteri. Fantastic support from the audience, the atmosphere is like a rock concert. The stands are already full on Friday. The organizers tried to offer a rich programme; on Friday spectators watch not only Formula 1, but also V8, Porsche, Formula 2 and Formula 3 – many things.
I rode here in 2022, right after the reconstruction of the circuit. She’s a lot faster than before, which is good.
We had a good first training, in the second the opponents achieved greater speed, but we still have a chance to reach the qualifying final.
The conditions and grip were very good. There is still some work to be done tonight to achieve more on Saturday. Apparently we have a good race pace, now we have to qualify in the top ten, then it will become easier.”
