Ricciardo accepts he ‘just wasn’t quick enough’ in Monaco

Daniel Ricciardo has accepted that failing to score points in Monaco was “reflecting of the pace and performance” he demonstrated, as his tough run continued.

Ricciardo crashed heavily during second practice on Friday and was then eliminated during the second session of qualifying.

Ricciardo was among the first of the drivers to switch to slick tyres in the race but was unable to gain notable ground and classified in 13th place.

“It was always going to be a little difficult after qualifying, but the downpour was very intense, so that delayed everything,” he said.

“I was on the extreme [wet], we stuck it out so long that I didn’t want to fit an inter for two laps then fit a slick, let’s just ride it out.

“I want to say it was on the early side [to switch to slicks] but I was struggling a lot on the extreme with the drying track – tricky getting everything up to temperature, so it was hard to know how fast to go, could see the cars behind were on slicks so I was kind of a gauge for them.

“Ultimately not a wonderful weekend, and the position is reflective of the pace and performance I had this weekend.”

The result means Ricciardo has amassed only 11 points to the 48 accrued by team-mate Lando Norris this year.

“Deep down I am disappointed with the weekend, there’s no hiding that,” he said.

“I’ve been here before and have a bit of experience with weekends like this, as much as I wish it wasn’t the case, so I don’t want to dwell on it too much in a negative way.

“It’s racing, it’s clear it was what it was, I missed the pace and still do ultimately with this car, so just try and have to keep working at it.”

    Honest self-appraisal is the first step to improvement. I’d like to see him turn things around, he is a likeable character.

      Here we go, with the 5 ‘n dime psychobabble. Bet you coffee and doughnuts his Dami guy works in HR, drives and SUV. CORRECTION TO AFOREMENTIONED COMMENT: first step to improvement in F1, bigger set of balls.

        You’d lose your bet, which is probably for the best if you’re a yank, as you’re more than likely too fat already.

    … exactly the same thing happened to Jacques Villenueve. Similarly so, Daniel Ricciardo is grossly overpaid. Like Villenueve, he got complacent, a couple young hotshots came along, blew his doors off –

      First 5 years into a US$20 million Beverly Hills mortgage, unless this McLaren drive pans out for him, Ricciardo faces certain bankruptcy. Just 5 bedrooms, he’ll be lucky to fetch half what he paid.

      High motorsport IQ, no doubt about it. But, bless his heart, Daniel Ricciardo is not exactly the sharpest pencil in the cup. I think this is the last we’ll see of him in F1. He’ll be replaced before year’s end.
