Daniel Ricciardo responds to RB’s grim P18 qualifying in Spain
"I didn't really h😼ave anything to say on the radio 🐽because I was honestly quite surprised"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo arrived in Barcelona buoyed by a good result in Canada, anꦯd upgrades to hisౠ RB.
But on Saturday at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix, he q🐼ualified in 18th, with teammate Yuki Tsunoda just one place in front.
He tried to explain his RB’s shock lack of performance despite its many update👍d parts☂.
“I'd like to think there'𒈔s still a bit ✅more on the package to to figure out,” Ricciardo said.
“But that's something obviously we'll keep doing. On the𝄹 flip side I do feel like [Friday] we were much more out of balance and actually today in quali the car felt much more tog♏ether.
“I actually didn'ඣt think the car felt too bad in quali. Of course there's some corners where you feel it should be flat there or whatever, so you know you may be still missing a bit of load.
“But in general it was I felt much better than [Friday] so to still be back 🅠where we are I think that's still a bit more defined, I guess, so yeah I don't know.
“I haven't spoken to Yuki yet but I don't think he🅷 was too unhappy probabl꧅y with how the car felt.
“I think we're just not that quick and normally you put three sets in Q1 it never gu🥃arantees you a spot in Q2 but it gives you a much better chance and obviously to still not make it I think it just shows that we don't have the pace with this current config so we'll keep chipping away. Three weeks on the bounce now.”
Ricciardo insisted the upgrඣades did not impact the car’s set-up.
“[Friday] felt lik🐠e we were still trying to fight it a little bit so we did make some bigger changes ove🌳rnight,” he said.
“So yeah, look, we probably haven't perfected it right now and maybe that's the encouraging ♎thing.
“But I feel like w♈e🍌 did make a good job overnight to get the car in a better place. So from a feeling, it felt better today.
“I had more comfortꦿ and confidence in it but unfortunately on this thing, the sဣtopwatch, we're still where we were.”
The key to the progress was controlling the aero balanc⛄e shift, Ricciardo sai🏅d.
“I would say so. With the floors, when you get a new floor, obviously that's where these cars are so powerful in terms of the load and the aero characteristics,”🦄 he explained.
“So it's just trying to get on top of that. Which as I said, I felt like we made a good step today, but when Pierre told me P18 I didn't really have anything to say on the radio because I꧟ was honestly quite surprised.
“I knew we're no💮t going to be at P10, 🍌but I honestly thought that would have been good enough for Q2.”
Ricciardo now faces the F1 Sp💙anish Grand Prix with only twꦓo cars starting behind him.
