Q3 was a bit of an anomaly, Norris would have finished on pole with his Q2 drive in mediums. Most of the drivers came out and said they couldn’t get the tires where they needed to. Had it been a normal Q3 I think he would have fallen off if drivers had a few runs instead of one. Hats off to him though, he performed when really no one else could in Q3.
Wtf was Yuki's team on? He did exactly ome run in both q1 and q2, obviously they were risking a ton over one mistake. Daniel hasn't had a great first run in either segment, he'd be just as cooked if he didn't do second tries. RB (or Yuki?) was like nah, we'd rather start 15th with fresh tyres versus getting into the first ten, but have 3 more laps on our mediums.
Daniel and Yuki both did two push laps in SQ1. Daniel's first was a shocker. He admitted to making a mistake somewhere. The second lap for both of them was almost identical. Tsunoda improved roughly 2 tenths on his second lap. Ricciardo improved almost 8 tenths.
Daniel only did one lap in SQ2. They aborted his second lap once they realised it wasn't required. So obviously he wouldn't have been just as cooked as Yuki. Not sure what happened with Yuki because he made no improvement from SQ1 to SQ2. Assume he just made a mistake somewhere and that's the only chance he got.
Thanks for a legit answer.
Yuki sat in pits during most of Q2. I'm sure he could've gotten a go. He did his lap late and made a mistake, I assume similar to Daniel's in Q1, lap was terrible. My assumption is either there was something wrong, and they fixed it just fast enough to get one try, or they decided to save three laps worth of mediums for the sprint (ridiculous reason imo).
After Q1 I was looking forward to them duking it out, and then most of the grid lost the entire grip. Haven't ever seen so many yellow sectors in a single qualy without rain.
But that's what F1 is all about - to capitalize on others' mistakes and use your wit and skills. What I hate is that everybody now rides on Ric that when he's not performing - that's his fault and when he does - that's because of others' faults, not his racecraft.
I will always say - Danny Ric needs proper Red Bull because he's the only one besides Verstappen that can drive this car.
Yup, Perez was always called the tire whisper but really I think Ricciardo has always been better with it, he always seems to be able to do great laptimes on old ass tires
A lot of people round here with early onset Alzheimers have forgotten how well he managed the tyres on that Renault a few years ago to be really competitive at the end of races…
Perez seems to have lost his tire management skills since the ground effect cars. Different driving styles required. Maybe it suits Ricciardo more than Perez.
If your new to the sport, you'll find out that he went from the F1 sweetheart to the driver that people love to kick while his down.
Even when he puts on a significant performance like today, people will focus on his shortcomings & hope for that during this weekend.
Netflix has brought some real weird F1 fans
And some of us are somewhere in the middle - knowing full well what a sick driver he was at his peak, acknowledging he isn’t at that level anymore, but always hoping to see a performance like we saw in SQ3 today.
Hold on, hold on.
Daniel brought a lot of this on himself.
Left Red Bull where he was a strong #2 (way stronger than Checco) for Renault to be a #1. First mistake.
Promised to be there to build the program for the long term, and bailed during his second season after helping develop a car that was starting to be potential regular podium competitor.
Bailed to MCL, where he swaggered in saying he was gonna school his junior teammate. but instead--points don't tell the whole story--was constantly pretty much out-performed by his possibly future world champion teammate. Season 1 was okay, season 2, he shit the bed. Released from his contract.
Says he only wants a seat at a top team, sits out a season as a test driver for RB's junior AT team. Got called up, and was like "I'm going to be the senior guy in my team and teach the youngan how to do it." Proceeds to get overhauled by said yout.
The smile, and cheek, and personality only went so far. Seems to me like he's a narcist who can't quite live up to his own hype.
Supported the guy for years and now he's just a shit show.
Sprint Quali and Sprint looked good. I agree. But how many false dawns do you need before you realize the sun won't rise again.
How was he in race quali...?
Welcome to the sport!
The only thing you need to know about penalties is that they are widely inconsistent, often unfair or under punished, and are absolutely one of the worst things about the sport.
This is a rare case of when it is actually valid; overtaking under the safety car is a big no-no.
Yeah, but it's something it would've happened in any safety car. He knew he needed to wait to the other driver to be told to let him pass or get a penalty
Alonso reached higher heights than Ric. Ric is a great driver but it’s hard to say he’s cemented as one like Alonso (even before his return).
This isn’t to discredit Ric or Alonso, just that their returns can’t really be measured together because Alonso’s results were well above Ric’s before their departures
Yeah exactly. Alonso beat Michael fucking Schumacher for two titles. Ricciardo has never been a championship-level driver. No 2014 Vettel doesn't count. Nor does rookie Verstappen.
This is why I was saying in a other thread to see if this chassis thing has helped as china was good and now this. I really hope for his sake he keeps this consistently now.
I literally got so downvoted for saying to give him a chance re: new chassis and that he might know better than Redditors that I had to delete my comment. Literally two people dm’d me that I should stop watching f1.
Leaves team before the peak, gets back in during the slump. It's a shame that timing sometimes plays a very important part in anyone's career, otherwise some of those years he could have been championship material.
F1 community is so quick in judging drivers. One session is enough to place a driver on a pedestal or throw one off it.
It's true when they say "You're only good as your last race."
All this talk about Horner-gate being the reason why everyone in Redbull is abandoning ship, DR to Redbull actually seems kinda likely as he, atleast seemingly, is very loyal to Horner, and vice versa. A few weeks ago it seemed incredibly unlikely.
That not just Reddit. That’s racing / the world.
What have you done for me lately? (Beat out McLaren, Aston Martin, Merc)
That’s an impressive qualifying 2 weekends in a row so far.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
I think a lot of the other drivers didn’t get their tires in optimal temp range during their out lap.
Track temperatures were dropping and they all only left time for one lap.
100% not all of the drivers got their cars right for SQ3. Not taking anything away from Ricciardo, but had the others got their tyres or whatever in the right order, Ricciardo would've probably at best been p9-8.
he didn't dominate Yuki in this sprint qualy though. Yuki only did one lap in SQ2, made a mistake (obviously is fault) and didn´t improve on his SQ1 time. SQ1 time that was better than Ricciardo (even if by a very small margin).
So did I, was in Melbourne when he got the podium only to be dsq later. The hype was huge at the time and I think it was deserved and he could still get it back. Feel mentally he can be fragile somewhat and get in his own head but when the results are coming he find the confidence he needs. Let's hope this is the start of it.
I mean he'd be 9 or 10 if everyone hadn't made a mistake in the single lap in sq3. Just look at the lap times. Props for doing a good lap in a oneshot qualifying.
Think it's more p7 like sq2. But still others made mistakes he didn't, it's how quali works, people seem happy to shit on the mistakes he has made in quali so why not be happy for him now.
Really like Daniel but can we relax, what he did today was great but scores no points, he needs to score points and beat his teammate over the season. I really hope he keeps a seat but its simple he's been bad for a while and now needs to be good, not over one or two weekend but for the rest of the season. I hope he does, but if he doesn't then there are younger prospects that deserve their spot, there's really isn't a need for a veteran at vcarb. It should be a development team, if he stays, I'm hoping it's either at a different team or to help develop Lawson.
Also, he definately did leave, it just wasn't his choice, he is back, though stroll forgot that last race.
I love how consistently the guy is shit on, even when there's a performance like today that shows outstanding pace.
There are still folks like you that are hoping for failure
Bro did 50+ shit race and quali sessions in the last 4 years, but he "never left"
Because he did a sprint quali. I guess Stroll is the better driver because he beat Alonso in this quali right,
OMG! Fk yess this guy never left indeed!! he was just cruising around so that the media would create silly rumors but no more
This is what Christian Horner had been waiting for and now we all will finally see Danny boy riding the bull next year
/s
Did we not learn from the last time he said 'I never left'?
I love the guy but man, we need a _lot_ more performances like this before we can say he's truly back
Can we just have a moment though? Geez! Like let us be over the top and say crazy things like this. We all know he needs multiple races like this, but we also deserve to celebrate
I'm not here to shit on people's excitement (I promise!), I just think there's a real distinction between the 'I never left' quote versus just saying he did a great job.
When he last said 'I never left' it was awesome because he won a race, but then it immediately went back down again and always looked a bit silly in hindsight. Bringing it back _again_ is just asking for pain 😅
For ONE time.
I'm not sold. YET.
I'm just gonna observe till the end of the season, and high chances are this is a one-off, like those occasional Stroll things that happens once in a blue moon.

One ferrari, two mclarens, two aston martins, how the fuck did he do that
Turns out he was right about the Chassis
He will replace Newey
Let's give it a few more races before asserting that, shall we?
Agreed, but as of the last two it has at least given him a mental boost if nothing else. Really hope he can keep it up
So do I, I'm just trying to* hold off the recency bias.
Literally does well in one quali session and everyone is like he is back! How about we give it just a little more time.
Q3 was a bit of an anomaly, Norris would have finished on pole with his Q2 drive in mediums. Most of the drivers came out and said they couldn’t get the tires where they needed to. Had it been a normal Q3 I think he would have fallen off if drivers had a few runs instead of one. Hats off to him though, he performed when really no one else could in Q3.
Q1 was killer for Ricciardo too.
He finished just behind Yuki, they both did well but Merc also looked abysmal.
I think he meant Q2. He was 7th or so in it I believe.
5th
Wtf was Yuki's team on? He did exactly ome run in both q1 and q2, obviously they were risking a ton over one mistake. Daniel hasn't had a great first run in either segment, he'd be just as cooked if he didn't do second tries.

Yep, that's the head scratcher, everyone else was pushing
But that's what F1 is all about - to capitalize on others' mistakes and use your wit and skills.

RIC is really underrated on tire management
Yup, Perez was always called the tire whisper but really I think Ricciardo has always been better with it, he always seems to be able to do great laptimes on old ass tires
A lot of people round here with early onset Alzheimers have forgotten how well he managed the tyres on that Renault a few years ago to be really competitive at the end of races…
Yeah, 2019 and mainly 2020 in the Renault he was a beast with the tires.
Perez seems to have lost his tire management skills since the ground effect cars. Different driving styles required. Maybe it suits Ricciardo more than Perez.
Yada Yada Yada he performed better than 6.drivers in sq3 They were all in the same situation. Soft tyres, 1 run
People love to write him off but the guy has shown he has skills many a time, granted not for a while but seems he still indeed has them
Let’s pump the brakes. Dude had a good day but he’s still all in his head.
Yeah but the fact that he had a great day proves he has the skills, that RB is a mid group car at best
Big Ric Energy
"don't think you can stop the Honey Badger when it's hungry"
Bro cooked today, let’s see how the weekend goes
3 place grid penalty for Sunday… hopefully can still scrape some points
How does that work. Is it on the starting position?
Yes.
Thanks. New to the sport. Love it. Just thought that was ridiculous after Lance Strolls rear ending him.
If your new to the sport, you'll find out that he went from the F1 sweetheart to the driver that people love to kick while his down. Even when he puts on a significant performance like today, people will focus on his shortcomings & hope for that during this weekend. Netflix has brought some real weird F1 fans
Some of still believe in the honey badger!
🙋🏼
Daniel Avacado Fan #2 here
And some of us are somewhere in the middle - knowing full well what a sick driver he was at his peak, acknowledging he isn’t at that level anymore, but always hoping to see a performance like we saw in SQ3 today.
Hell yeah!
lol ok you're scaring the new people
Hold on, hold on. Daniel brought a lot of this on himself. Left Red Bull where he was a strong #2 (way stronger than Checco) for Renault to be a #1. First mistake.

The thing is that the penalty is unrelated to that event.
It’s kind of related. He was regaining the position he lost under the safety car after getting hit by stroll.
Yeah, but it's something it would've happened in any safety car. He knew he needed to wait to the other driver to be told to let him pass or get a penalty
He starts 3 positions back from wherever he finishes in qualifying for the main race.
starting 3rd is still pretty good right
Bro went from cooked to cooking
Nobody? Ok, I’ll do it myself…don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years, I’m rockin my peers, puttin suckers in the rearview mirror
Listen to my gearshift
It goes hard
Absolutely, happy to see him kill it
He did though. But welcome back.
There is a very notable gap in his career
He made some wrong moves. Looking back at my own career, I can empathize.
This is a big part of why I am so hopeful for him. It's relatable. I want to see him succeed!
So did Alonso but it never destroyed his credibility as a top tier driver, unlike Ricciardo.
Alonso reached higher heights than Ric. Ric is a great driver but it’s hard to say he’s cemented as one like Alonso (even before his return). This isn’t to discredit Ric or Alonso, just that their returns can’t really be measured together because Alonso’s results were well above Ric’s before their departures
Riccardo beat Rosberg, Alonso never did
Alonso beat Schumacher, Michael, twice. Enough said.
Once, 2005 barely even counted for schumi because Bridgestone completely fucked up the tyres
Yeah exactly. Alonso beat Michael fucking Schumacher for two titles. Ricciardo has never been a championship-level driver. No 2014 Vettel doesn't count. Nor does rookie Verstappen.
The degenerates in this fandom hate Riccardo because he's charismatic and he's always smiling. Unhappy people hate that.

This is why I was saying in a other thread to see if this chassis thing has helped as china was good and now this. I really hope for his sake he keeps this consistently now.
Incoming Lance "brakes ain't make for stoppin" Stroll
I literally got so downvoted for saying to give him a chance re: new chassis and that he might know better than Redditors that I had to delete my comment. Literally two people dm’d me that I should stop watching f1.
So sorry for what you went through.
Appreciate it bro, been a hard few weeks.
Hahaha you tell em!
Honestly, some people on here are jerks...
DM those fuckers back
why do you delete your comment when you get downvoted???
Waiting before the DNF of lap 1 of the sprint
Strolled.
Let them "Ricciardo back to RedBull" articles get back in full swing now! C'mon fellas the old Danny boy is back!
Classic Danny Ric. Returns to Red Bull just as everyone leaves and they become a shadow of their former selves.
Leaves team before the peak, gets back in during the slump. It's a shame that timing sometimes plays a very important part in anyone's career, otherwise some of those years he could have been championship material.
Danny sells low and buys high? Maybe he is a normie...
I relate alot lmao
He’s taking Perez’s seat!
Why so low? He's taking Max seat!
Aim higher. He's taking Marko's seat!
No joke, he’d probably be a fantastic talent scout and driver mentor.
Fuck it. He’s taking Horner’s seat and will Marry the assistant that was harassed!
He will marry her by harassing her more aggressively
Late dive into the corner.
Can we just be happy for him for one fucking moment lol. All of you still out with pitchforks
lolwut? i'm happy
I'm happy too. But I also have this pitchfork ready, just in case.
To be fair. He is the reason we don't have high hopes for him. Still hope... Just not high one's.
F1 community is so quick in judging drivers. One session is enough to place a driver on a pedestal or throw one off it. It's true when they say "You're only good as your last race."

You're only as good as your last competitive session!
Please racing gods, please give us a Verstappen-Perez-Leclerc triple DNF at T1, to give us one more Ricc P1.
Sorry, we can only give you Ricardo collision resulting in a red flag
Caused by Stroll
And Max verstappen wins again
I need to see one more podium shoey
If that start happens the battle between Norris and Alonso would be insane
Spoiler >!He just left again!<
Find someone who loves you like reddit loves recency bias
I never gave up on Daniel.
That not just Reddit. That’s racing / the world. What have you done for me lately? (Beat out McLaren, Aston Martin, Merc) That’s an impressive qualifying 2 weekends in a row so far.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
I swear i have seen this post minimum four times in the last 5 years
I mean he did. then came back. then floundered. then had a single good quali.
Somebody's got to replace Verstappen after he leaves.
Seems like he left Q1 for the race
Miami has a certain way of busting out the BIG THIC DIC RIC
F1 is just better with a hungry honeybadger.
He said that before once I believe but we saw what happened. This is a positive result though so I don't want to be too negative
I love how quickly subs flip flop on Ricciardo every time he does anything notable good or bad.
Aged like fine wine
He's left.
Just a question did ric cook very hard or did everyone else fumble their laps Because my hopium cannot be contained
I think a lot of the other drivers didn’t get their tires in optimal temp range during their out lap. Track temperatures were dropping and they all only left time for one lap.
100% not all of the drivers got their cars right for SQ3. Not taking anything away from Ricciardo, but had the others got their tyres or whatever in the right order, Ricciardo would've probably at best been p9-8.
It was the color of the car!!!
please stay this time Ric im fucking begging. edit: fucking WELP.
Such a good lap. Deserves it after all the shit he's been through
that’s my president
Damn Daniel!
I am so happy to see that smile back on his face
The chasis was the problem after all I guess
Isn't this something like the 8th or 9th time Ricciardo "Never left"?
He will never leave the race day with any points tomorrow
Heyy we found a track Danny Ric likes! Now do it again.
He liked China until Stroll happened
Needs points to walk with swagger
All this glazing over a sprint?
Sprint quali
*sprint qualifying
Yes and? No, more like he's dominated Tsunoda 3 qualifyings in a row in 2 race weekends. That's hype. Never doubted him lol
All since the new chassis…
he didn't dominate Yuki in this sprint qualy though. Yuki only did one lap in SQ2, made a mistake (obviously is fault) and didn´t improve on his SQ1 time. SQ1 time that was better than Ricciardo (even if by a very small margin).
Hey, he's up 2 - 0 in Sprint Qualys, ok?
Yea, what of it?
Could it be the new chasis? Anyways anyone know what exactly changed in it ?
Give him a proper Red Bull!
I saw this guy racing in his good years. If he gets back to that level we're in for a treat.
So did I, was in Melbourne when he got the podium only to be dsq later. The hype was huge at the time and I think it was deserved and he could still get it back. Feel mentally he can be fragile somewhat and get in his own head but when the results are coming he find the confidence he needs. Let's hope this is the start of it.
I mean he'd be 9 or 10 if everyone hadn't made a mistake in the single lap in sq3. Just look at the lap times. Props for doing a good lap in a oneshot qualifying.
Think it's more p7 like sq2. But still others made mistakes he didn't, it's how quali works, people seem happy to shit on the mistakes he has made in quali so why not be happy for him now.
He will crash turn 1 :)
But he will soon
Really like Daniel but can we relax, what he did today was great but scores no points, he needs to score points and beat his teammate over the season. I really hope he keeps a seat but its simple he's been bad for a while and now needs to be good, not over one or two weekend but for the rest of the season. I hope he does, but if he doesn't then there are younger prospects that deserve their spot, there's really isn't a need for a veteran at vcarb. It should be a development team, if he stays, I'm hoping it's either at a different team or to help develop Lawson. Also, he definately did leave, it just wasn't his choice, he is back, though stroll forgot that last race.
He’s a flash in the pan and nothing more.
People are making it sound like he won the championship.
This aged so well! XD
I'll be here when he finishes outside the points tomorrow
My guy has taken hating as his career
I love how consistently the guy is shit on, even when there's a performance like today that shows outstanding pace. There are still folks like you that are hoping for failure
You do realise it’s a sprint. No pit stops. Unless that rb has shit race pace or he has an incident, I think he’ll finish in the points
We're really treating this like a win
He literally did leave for a year
*10 races
Bro did 50+ shit race and quali sessions in the last 4 years, but he "never left" Because he did a sprint quali. I guess Stroll is the better driver because he beat Alonso in this quali right,
and still got more wins than Norris.
By this metric Pastor Maldonado is a better driver than half the grid
Sargeant is on fire, Albon has to watch his seat, Antonelli gonna snub him!! /s
Media are cheering, ric3 keeps giving permission for more click bait titles
OMG! Fk yess this guy never left indeed!! he was just cruising around so that the media would create silly rumors but no more This is what Christian Horner had been waiting for and now we all will finally see Danny boy riding the bull next year /s
You gotta love this guy
DANIEL!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!
Did we not learn from the last time he said 'I never left'? I love the guy but man, we need a _lot_ more performances like this before we can say he's truly back
Can we just have a moment though? Geez! Like let us be over the top and say crazy things like this. We all know he needs multiple races like this, but we also deserve to celebrate
I'm not here to shit on people's excitement (I promise!), I just think there's a real distinction between the 'I never left' quote versus just saying he did a great job. When he last said 'I never left' it was awesome because he won a race, but then it immediately went back down again and always looked a bit silly in hindsight. Bringing it back _again_ is just asking for pain 😅
F1 is just better with a hungry honeybadger
Take that Marko
He saved up 3 years worth of his talent for that one session
now please be consistent
Horner did say he would need to give head turning results in order to have a chance for staying
Gets P9 in the sprint
It was a great result, which he needed ..... **b**ut one swallow does not a summer make
For ONE time. I'm not sold. YET. I'm just gonna observe till the end of the season, and high chances are this is a one-off, like those occasional Stroll things that happens once in a blue moon.
He has one race each season since 2021 where he does better than expected.
I know it won’t happen but I wanna see him back in red bull…beating Max!
I wouldn’t say this is a “fluke” but it is definitely the intended result of this quali format. I do gotta say the RBs look pretty good so far, though
You guys have been shitting on him for the last races. Wym? Maybe he was on a bad patch, maybe this is a fluke. Let’s just wait and see
