What Renault Will Miss About Ricciardo

Budkowski started off by explaining how their car has become better this year

“I think the car is clearly a better car than we had last year. We addressed some of the major weaknesses we had on last year’s car. We’ve made good progress during the season. We’ve made good upgrades and that’s obviously pushed us forward in the pecking order”

He then praised Ricciardo and confirmed that they will miss him

“He’s at the top of his form. He’s driving exceptionally well and that shows in the team results but also in his personal results, so of course we will miss him”

He signed off by revealing another side of Ricciardo’s that they will also miss

“But we will also miss the character. He’s a smiley, engaging character [and it’s] a pleasure to work with him. Daniel walks in the room and suddenly the mood in the room picks up because his smile and his enthusiasm is infectious”

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff prefers ”someone who polarizes but brings out a message rather than someone who is a bit too polished“

Lewis Hamilton has revealed that “the way” his former team McLaren “dealt with the tyres and the temperature, that sort of thing. They never listened to” him, “they just did their thing”

Mercedes’ former technical director Norbert Haug feels that “it is partly” his “fault” that DRS was introduced in F1 as he “could not stop it”

Williams’ George Russell has stated that Lewis Hamilton “doesn’t just wake up on a Sunday morning and jump in and he’s the fastest”

Instead, “he puts a huge amount of effort in, which” Russell doesn’t “think he really gets the credit for”

McLaren’s Lando Norris feels that the race in Turkey featured “possibly the worst start of” his “career ever. Probably the worst start of everyone's career ever”

Former F1 driver Felipe Massa is of the opinion that in F1 “the car is the most important thing, without a competitive car you cannot win, and that is independent of the drivers”

He also feels that Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel’s “moment is over because he is not achieving the performance expected of a four-time world champion”

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is “always looking forward to the night races because they feel so different”

His teammate Alex Albon feels that “Turkey was a strong weekend and” he’s sure they “are moving in the right direction”

He further stated that for his “part, it's getting better and better and” he “was very happy with the car in the simulator. So now” he’s “looking forward to arriving in Bahrain”

Meanwhile, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has stated that Albon “was very nervous because the tires were wearing off” in Turkey

F2 driver Yuki Tsunoda has suggested that “if you are a good driver, like George Russell, Lando Norris or Charles Leclerc then you only need one year in F2”

Daniel Ricciardo feels that “for sure now” they're “the underdog” in the fight for third place in the constructors’ standings, “but it's still doable, and there's still three races”

AlphaTauri’s Daniil Kvyat has confirmed that they “have solved the problem” related to the loose seatbelts he experienced during the Turkish GP
