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 his performances following an underwhelmiꦉng start to the season compared to his RB teammate 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 behind before a Safety♐ Car✨ restart.

Ricciardo’s car was damaged beyond repair in the inci🌊de😼nt and he subsequently retired from the race.

Marko noted how Ricciardo’s performance was “much better” across his first weekend si꧅nce changing chassis.

“Daniel Ricciardo had a new chassis avai⛦lable in China and the whole thing was planned from the start because it is our third chassis that we wanted to bring to the track,” Marko told SpeedWeek.

“But of course this change also played into psychology after Daniel’s disappointing perf🧸ormances on the previous weekends.

“Things went much better for Ricciardo in China.”

Marko also hit out at Stroll after the Aston Martin driver appeared to blame Ricciardo for their collision whic🧸h occurred under the Safety Car as the field bunched up at the hairpin.

“I find it 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 Miamiꦫ. 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 ꧙fight to retain his✤ RB seat but the eight-time grand prix winner insists he is feeling no additional pressure.

“I haven’t had a great start to the season but I’m also not a rookie that’s trying to establish myself in the sport and prov꧑e something. I do have a track reco൩rd,” he said. “There is some proof there that I can do it.

“And the team believes this an🎶d 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 rookie, I’ve got experience, so that should also speaꦫk for something.

“It’꧒s 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 add🀅itional pressure from ‘shit, am I going to have a seat next weekend’ or anything. It’s not anything like that.”
