Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko was encouraged by168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Daniel Ricciardo’s performance at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

Ricciardo has come under pressure from Marko to up h☂is performances following an underwhelming start to the season compared to his RB 𝔍teammate Yuki Tsunoda.

The Australian was given a new chassis in Shanghai and enjoyed a better weekend. He was running inside the points in ninth place until 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll rammed🅰 him from beh🐷ind before a Safety Car restart.

R🍬icciardo’s car was damaged beyond repair in 𓆏the incident and he subsequently retired from the race.

Marko noted how Ricciardo’s performance was “🐷much better” across his first weekend since changing chassis🍎.

“Daniel Ricciardo had a new chassis available in China and the whole thing was planned from the start because it is our third chassis tha🎃t we wanted♓ to bring to the track,” Marko told SpeedWeek.

“But of course this change also played into psychology after Daniel’s disappꦰoin🌜ting performances on the previous weekends.

“Things went much better for Ricciardo in China.”

Marko also hit out at Stroll after the Aston Martin driver appea🐭red to blame Ricciardo for their collision which occurred under the Safety Car as the field bunched up at thཧe hairpin.

“I find i⛎t unbelievable that Lance Stroll called him an ‘idiot after’ the chequered flag fell,” Marko added. “And that he also had to receive a penalty for Miami. This really wasn’t his weekend.”

Ricciardo will serve a three-place grid drop at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix after the stewards determined he overtook the Haas of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg while running behind the Safety Car in Shanghai.

There has been speculation that Ricciardo is in a figh⭕t to retain his RB seat but the eight-time grand prix winner insists he is feeling no additionꦰal pressure.

“I haven’t had a great start to the season but I’m also not a rookie that’s tryin💯g to establish myself in the sport and pr𓆏ove something. I do have a track record,” he said. “There is some proof there that I can do it.

“And the team believes this꧂ and knows I can, so it’s just trying 🤪to clean it all up and making sure we can get it.

“I don’t 🦹want this to take a whole year and I don’t expect it to because, on the one hand I’m not a rooki🦩e, I’ve got experience, so that should also speak for something.

“It꧋’s not like I’m trying to show them something that they haven’t seen, we’re just trying to get me, I guess, in a place where I feel like I can deliver.

“There’s no additional pressure from ‘shit, am I going to have a seat next weekend’ or anything. It🍃’s not anything ✃like that.”
