How unfortunate Ricciardo
Everything can be said of Daniel Ricciardo this year, but it's not certain that the Australian driver is lucky. After a nightmare start to the season in the first four GPs, in China theHoney Badger he seemed to have finally found some confidence with his Racing Bulls and was competing in a race full brawl to collect his first world championship points of 2024. However, what broke the dreams of the former Red Bull, Renault and McLaren representative was a sensational carelessness by Lance Stroll.
Stroll the rammer
The Canadian from Aston Martin has literally rammed car #3 on the hairpin at the penultimate corner under the Safety Car, while the pilots were preparing for the restart that would take place a few moments later. The mistake made by the son of the Silverstone team owner was punished with a 10 second penaltybut the race for Ricciardo was now ruined and the driver from Perth was forced into a very bitter retirement.
Angry Honey Badger
“Stroll came at me, lifting me practically halfway up the car – Ricciardo thundered into the microphones of Sky Sports F1 – and we hadn't even left. When you restart you can't predict what the one in front of you will do, so you have to be more cautious than ever. It's not like a standing start, when you start and go. There you have to be ready for any situation. At the hairpin he came at me with a much greater speed. He wasn't even looking at me but at the apex, that's the first problem“concluded the representative of the Visa CashApp team.
