Ricciardo: Mentally I was ready for such a race

RB gained four points ahead of Yuki Tsunoda’s eighth place in Monaco, while Daniel Ricciardo finished outside the top ten…

Yuki Tsunoda (8th): “The race turned out to be long, I had to follow the strategy we had planned. I was a bit upset, but I stayed calm and controlled the pace and the condition of the tires. I think we have reached the maximum.

I really enjoyed the last few laps where they told me I could give it my all. The most important thing is that we keep scoring points. The team had a great weekend.”

Daniel Ricciardo (12th): “After qualifying yesterday I was mentally prepared for such a race. If you qualified behind in Monaco, the entire race will depend on the pace of your opponents. That’s what happened today. Although you can always hope that something will happen.

I think the first start was one of the best of the season, but after the second, when I saw Alonso doing everything he could to save his tires until the finish, I realized it wouldn’t be easy. I tried to apply pressure, but he is an experienced driver and in Monaco the opponent has to make a mistake to overtake.

Of course there are positive aspects to this weekend, but there is also personal disappointment. The Montreal stage is ahead of us, we will try to perform better. Today Charles achieved his first victory in Monaco, I am very happy for him.”
