Daniel Ricciardo believes he has reached a defining moment in his career…
Daniel Ricciardo: “Of course, after yesterday’s qualifying I had the impression that we are capable of improving, but there is no doubt that we have a fast car. It will be nice if we can compete with the Aston Martin drivers, and although there are also fast cars behind us, I am only going to look forward. I hope we can score points today.
I understand that the next two races are incredibly important for me, but even without this extra factor you always want to go into the summer break in a good mood. But I am willing to admit that I feel some extra pressure and will try to give everything. This is the moment where a lot can be decided for me, but I hope to have a good race and enjoy it.
I also hope that the sun will shine, because these conditions will be more favorable for us. Yuki Tsunoda, my partner, will start behind me, so we have to organize the race wisely and earn more points for the team. First of all, we have to think about the interests of the team and I will try to help them.”
