Daniel Ricciardo commented on the failed British Grand Prix results with his trademark sense of humour…
Daniel Ricciardo: “I hope they will find a big hole in my car that we haven’t noticed before, and that will explain all the problems with the lack of speed.
Yuki did well but the team was not very competitive this weekend, I had a lot of problems during the race and I still don’t understand why.
My feelings and lap times don’t match. What I see from the cockpit doesn’t match the values on the stopwatch. During qualifying at Silverstone I was confident that I had done a good lap, but the engineer said I was eight tenths of a second behind. I was very surprised.
An engineer once asked: what am I missing? I said the balance is normal, but there is not enough downforce, because I do the laps myself properly, except for a few small things, but there is no result. But that is what the machine can do. During the race at Silverstone, rivals passed me. I could not fight Sargent and Albon passed Yuki.
Yes, we bring new products, but others do not stand still. Nico Hulkenberg finished sixth in a Haas twice in a row. And they are no longer behind us, but in front of us.
Our last updates worked well, we just didn’t achieve what we had hoped for. But it’s not for lack of trying.”
