Daniel Ricciardo expressed his joy in achieving a significant milestone in his Formula 1 career this weekend. He and Christian Horner will be seeking to demonstrate a strong performance at the Red Bull Ring during the next race. After a disappointing Spanish Grand Prix last week, Ricciardo is eager to move forward and celebrate his 250th Formula 1 race, which he considers to be an incredible feat. To commemorate this achievement, Ricciardo has planned to use a helmet with a unique design, adding an element of fun to the occasion. The 34-year-old driver emphasized the importance of this particular race to him and his excitement in achieving such an impressive milestone.
With the challenges faced in Barcelona, Ricciardo is determined to turn the situation around this time. He explained that a sprint weekend allows only one practice session, leaving the team with limited time to prepare. This makes it crucial for the team to be well-prepared and focused from the start. Ricciardo emphasized the need to maximize the limited practice time and start the race at a good pace.
Ricciardo’s teammate, Yuki Tsunoda, shared his love for the Red Bull Ring due to its track and the beautiful nature surrounding it. As it holds a special meaning for the Red Bull family, Tsunoda hopes for a strong performance from the team. He finds the surroundings of the Red Bull Ring incredible and enjoys being in touch with nature. Racing on this track is important to Tsunoda as a member of the Red Bull family, and he remains optimistic about his chances of success.
Tsunoda also mentioned that this track is unique because it hosts sprint races. Each team will have only one hour of practice before each session, making every moment crucial for the race. He acknowledged the team’s hard work in dealing with and resolving the issues faced in Spain. The 24-year-old driver is confident in his ability to bounce back and achieve a positive result this weekend. He is eager to showcase his performance and aims for a good placement in the race.
Certainly, Yuki Tsunoda expresses his excitement to race at his home track. The Japanese driver is confident in the team’s improved performance for the upcoming weekend. Fans are also eager to witness a better performance from Red Bull’s sister team, especially after the disappointing races they have had recently.
