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 underwhelming start to the season compared to his RB teammate Yuki Tsu🥂noda.

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 behiꦕnd before a Safety Car restart.

Ricciardo’s car was damaged be🐻yond repair in the incid💞ent and he subsequently retired from the race.

Marko noted how Ricciardo’s performance was “much better” across his fi𒀰rst weekend since changing chassis.

“Daniel Ric🐲ciardo had a new chassis available 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 performan🦩ces on the previous weekends.

“Things went much better for Ricciardo in China.”

Marko also hit out at Stroll after the Aston Martin dri🦂ver appeared to blame Ricciardo for the🔯ir collision which 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 Miami. 🌸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 fight to retain his RB seat but the eight-time grand prix winner insists ꦍhe is feeling no additional pressur༒e.

“I haven’t had a great start to the season but I’m also not a rookie that’s trying to estab𓃲lish myself in the sport and prove something. I do have a track record,” he said. “There is some proo🔯f there that I can do it.

“And the team believes this and knows I can, so it’s justܫ 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 becau𒈔se, on the one hand I’m not a rookie, I’ve got experience, so that should also speak for something.

“It’s not like I’m trying to show them something that they haven’t seen, we’re just trying to get me, I𒁃 guess, in a place where I feel like I can deliver.

“There’s no additional pressure from ‘shit, am I going to have a seat next weekꦅend’ or anything. It’s not anything like th♈at.”
