Yuki Tsunoda: We have to work at the beginning

Yuki Tsunoda scored the only point for RB at Imola, while Daniel Ricciardo finished 13th…

Yuki Tsunoda (10th): “I’m happy to earn points on our team’s home track, in front of our staff.

The start ruined the race a bit for me, I lost a few places because of Nico Hulkenberg. He was fast on the straights and we didn’t want to get behind him, so we went to the pits earlier than planned. For me this was the decisive moment of the race, we did everything right. This made the second segment prove to be long and difficult, but the team managed.

The beginning is the most important point to work on. But the work continues, we do everything we can to get the most out of our car. I have no doubt that we will succeed.”

Daniel Ricciardo (13th): “I don’t know what went wrong at the start, it seemed to me that I did everything right, but losing my position cost me points in the race. We will find out the reasons. Unfortunately the car lacked stability, which meant we had to immediately drop out of the race for points.

Later I ended up in a group of racers and the behavior of the car when there is a disturbed airflow is our weak point. But we will definitely solve this problem.

We were fast on the open track and showed good times, but in traffic it immediately became more difficult.”
