It’d be like that when you shit the bed in quali. Had he qualified ahead of his teammate this wouldn’t have happened he would’ve been prioritized but he didn’t so
you see during his mcl days getting beaten by his teammate made me sad cause i knew he was better than this and that he couldn’t drive the car to the limit nor did the team do anything to change the car to suit him. i knew he wasn’t being supported but now, today, i just get angry. i get pissed off when tsu, the definition of a mid driver outqualifies him. cause now i know it’s him not the car. it’s him who couldn’t find the right setup. it’s him who couldn’t find the right balance. it’s him who couldn’t put the lap together. he had a full preseason. he trained. he did testing. he was more than ready. i know saturdays aren’t his strongest suit but the bar is in hell if he can’t even beat tsu. it’s embarrassing getting beaten by him. if he can’t do it what makes him think he can be a better version of perez cause now i actually respect the guy for surviving against max all these years cause you simply can’t compare max with tsu. if daniel doesn’t get his shit together and obliterate tsu, he should just give up and call it a day on his f1 career. and this is coming from a hardcore DR3 fan.
It was a session of two halves. OK. Because yeah, we had two sets of soft. And the first set was actually, I'd say, really good. Like, we were much more competitive. I guess not everyone had a soft. But yeah, I think we were looking better at that point in time, maybe seventh or something. We were in the fight, as they say.
And then the second set, I struggled a lot. Obviously, and then you got the track getting better and everything and everyone improving and I really struggled to improve. So there was a bit of traffic and a few things. But honestly, that second set was a bit more of a mystery.
So yeah, we kind of started doing a little bit of homework. We'll get back to it tonight. So yeah, I think there's obviously a lot of things to learn from that. But looking at the first set, I don't think we should be too discouraged. I think we know we're better than 19. So just try to understand where we can put it all together tomorrow.
If you used the two brain cells you have you’d realize he wasn’t asked about the dismissed allegations against Horner it was a broad question about the civil war that’s happening at rbr. Just cause you interpreted it the way YOU wanted to get a pass on calling him all kind of vile things doesn’t make it true 👍🏼
T: Daniel Ricciardo has a history with the team as well and you worked with him 10 years ago when it was Toro Rosso. How has he changed in the time he has been away?
M: You walk in the team, you see Daniel and you see the race winning guy. You see in the car the guy who has been hunting for races and podiums. The Daniel you see in the car is the Daniel who was fighting for the very top position. For whatever reasons, I'm lucky to have in our team right now a race winning guy. The Daniel we have now is the best Daniel we have seen. Of course, he has had a rough patch in the last few years, but ironically, it's probably putting him now in the best mindset, in the best spirit, in the best energy. He has this incredible technical sensitivities. He's buying into the project, he's living Visa CashApp RB with us, he's proud of the colours. He's pushing us with all the positivity we know about him. In the start of a project like that, having a guy like Daniel with us driiving the car is a game-changer.
T: Have you talked to him about the rough patch?
M: It's very difficult from the outside to understand it [...] but i would lie if I was not telling you that this increases the attention level that we have in making sure we have the right condition around him. So we are very careful with him and he is part of that process. He is driving that process in making sure we put him in the right spot, 360* in what define in the car and outside of the car and how we manage this energy.
