Ricciardo enjoyed his best weekend in F1 since his win for McLaren⛄ in 2021, qualifying fourth for AlphaTauri.

The Australian ultimately slipped to seventh as he lost out to168澳洲5最新开奖结果: George Russell and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris following the red flag period.

Reflecting on the race, he said:  “Probably better than good. A lot of emotions. Relieved as well. Two starts on this track...you hold your ꦕbreath because it's such a long run to Turn 1. Anything can happen into Turn 1.

"The first start we started fourth and came through in fourth, so I was pretty happy, especially when we know we have a bit more drag than others here. The seco꧑nd one. When I saw the red flag I knew it would probably hurt our race. 

“We ꧑were in fifth and potentially could have finished there but in t🦂hat situation you can’t be too selfish as Kevin had a big crash. 

“Then we just tried to settle into a rhythm. Lando was much quicker. We battled for a couple of corners but I let Lando go. I thought if he could catch George it would bring ♋him back to us. We got close.  

“Fighting a Mercedes at the end I think is a big🐷 weekend for us and six points, really can’t be sad☂.”

It was a crucial result for AlphaTauri, who have now moved ahead of Alfa Romeo a⛄nd Haas in the constructor๊s’ championship.

“There were definitely moments where at the beginning when I was fourth if the race finishes now and I will be happy, then I was fifth and I was like that would be alright. It felt like it took me a little bit to get into the rhythm with the tyre,” he added. “I felt I was 🏅better when the tyre was a bit more used and taking a bit more understanding with the car. 

“Once I saw Lando got past George I was really tr🅰ying to do everythin𒅌g I could do to put pressure on him and at that point we pulled away from Oscar.

"All in all it’s a good weekend. Afteꦍr last week this is really the weekend I dreamed of and we got it.”
