A sub-par qualifying run at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix has piled pressure on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo as he bids to keep his race seat.

Ricciardo ente🥃red this weekend with claims from Red Bull’s Helmut Marko ringing in his ears that Liam Lawson is guaranteed a race s💝eat in F1.

Ricciardo - as the only Red Bull or RB driver without a contract for 2025 yet - was seemingly 🐲most at-risk.

Christian Horner moved to clarify Red Bull’s stance on Lawson - insisting he was ཧnot necessarily guaranteed a driveꦕ in one of their cars, or their sister team’s.

But neᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚvertheless, Ricciardo remains under scrutiny.

He꧑ qualified 16th for the Dutch Grand 𒐪Prix at Zandvoort, three places behind teammate Yuki Tsunoda.

“It was definitely tricky out there on a windy day and with generally tough conditions,” Riccia𒁃rdo reacted to qua🐈lifying.

“It was really hard to put a clꦫean lap together in qualifying, and I just felt that ⛄I was probably struggling a little bit more than maybe some others.

“We found things in the setup [Friday] night 😼that were encouraging coming into today, but unfortunately, we were not quick enough and just very much on a knife edge.

“I was sliding with the rear out of some turns so I had to take a bit of margin, but in doing that we were slow because I couldn’t push as much as I would have liked to, and that is wཧhere I felt I couldn’t get the lap out of it.

“Being out in Q1 doesn’t help ahead of🍃💮 tomorrow as it’s a narrow circuit and not one of those notorious for easily overtaking, but let’s see what happens.”

Tsunoda, who will start from 13th, said aꦿfter qualifying: “I’m definitely disappointed, it feels like we ste♔pped down quite a lot from FP2.

“I was happy with mᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ💫ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy lap, but for whatever reason we lacked quite a lot of pace compared to what we had.

“I thought we’d go through quite easily, but even in Q1 we struggled q𒀰uite a lot, and it was pretty tight to get P10, so we’ll have to revise what happened.

“It’s not too bad of a place to start to score po🥀ints, the last two days has been very inconsistent weather and we saw from last year in the race anything🐈 can happen, so I’ll try my best.”

RB technical director Jody Egginton said: “The first qualifying runs f🎶or both drivers f꧟ell below our expectations in terms of lap times, but the second ones were better.

“W෴ith some small changes to aero balance and tools settings, we made a step forward with the balance of Yuki’s car for Q2, enabling him to extract more from the tyres, but even with this step and the final lap looking very strong, we were missing just✅ over 0.1sec in the final corners.

“It was ওan incredibly packed Q2 session, of course we will review if another step in the direction taken for Q2 could have helped as every small detail matters when qualifying lap times are so close.

“Looking ahead to tomorrow, FP2 long run pace was reasonable, so if we can get our cars moving forwa💫rds early towards the ones in front of us, we should be able to find ourselves at the front of the midfield and take any opportunities that presen🍰t themselves.”
