Australian F1 star Daniel Ricciardo reveals nightmare truth after horror start to season: 'I'm still a bit puzzled'

Daily Mail  

Daniel Ricciardo has spoken about his 2024 F1 season after suffering his worst qualifying result at the Australian Grand Prix, being knocked out of Q1 for the first time at Albert Park. The deleted lap time would have placed Ricciardo in the top 10 and been good enough for him to advance to Q2, However the stewards' call means Ricciardo will not progress to Q2 and will start on the back row of the grid based on his second-best lap time, leaving the Aussie in 18th position. Ricciardo is 'puzzled' by the pace difference between himself and teammate Yuki Tsunoda The Aussie F1 star qualified 18th, his worst performance ever at Albert Park 'I felt like I got everything out of it, and then when I saw it still wasn't good enough, let's say compared to Yuki, that for me is … yeah, I'm still a bit puzzled,' he told broadcast media. Ricciardo said recent adjustments to the car seem promising, but he's still off the pace Ricciardo said he feels like he's getting everything out of his car, but it's still not enough Meanwhile Australia's rising star Oscar Piastri will start Sunday's race from sixth after an impressive qualifying session for McLaren.
