Daniel Ricciardo, an Australian driver from RB, celebrated his success at the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix. This particular race marked his best performance of the season so far. Ricciardo arrived in Montreal under pressure to perform well, especially considering his disappointing campaign and the success of his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. Despite criticism from former F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve, Ricciardo proved his competitiveness at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve by qualifying among the top five. Despite a penalty for a jump start and challenging weather conditions, Ricciardo managed to finish in eighth place. This weekend was a significant relief for Ricciardo as it was the first time this season that he had a complete and successful weekend. He expressed his satisfaction with his performance and acknowledged the mental and physical challenges of the race. Ricciardo also revealed that he approached the event with a determined mindset and believes that maintaining this level of intensity will be crucial for the upcoming races. His performance in this race earned more points for RB in the Constructors’ Championship and elevated Ricciardo to 12th position in the drivers’ standings. The next race will take place in Barcelona, where Ricciardo achieved his first podium in F1 in 2014.
