Daniel Ricciardo expressed his enthusiasm for the 2023 F1 round 21, Sao Paulo GP (Brazilian GP). At the previous round in Mexico City, which was his second race since his return, Ricciardo was fourth in qualifying ahead of Sergio Perez, Mercedes and McLaren cars.In the final, an unfortunate red flag caused him to drop down the order, but he remained in the Scuderia AlphaTauri team. He fully demonstrated his ability by finishing in 7th place, his best result this season.
“Mexico was a great weekend from start to finish and I was really happy. The car was good and I was able to make the most of it. After the race I stayed in Mexico for a few days before coming to São Paulo.” Daniel Ricciardo commented. “Interlagos is a very short course and there aren’t that many corners, so you have to attack every corner cleanly. If you make a mistake, you can’t make up the time you lost. Physically, it’s counterclockwise. Running on this course puts a strain on your neck.In addition, the low grip of the asphalt is also tricky.This race is also at a higher altitude than usual, and I felt it even just running up the stairs in Mexico. , I never felt that feeling in Brazil.”It will be another sprint weekend following Austin, but I am looking forward to it as I have gained confidence in the machine and settings.Of course, I have competed in sprint races two weeks in a row since returning. I’m looking forward to the sprint format at Interlagos.However, I don’t know how well this course will suit our car.I still don’t have enough race experience to know which type of course is best. It went better than expected in Mexico, which gave me confidence for Brazil. I hope we can get into Q3 once more this time and get a top 10 car. “We have some great corners here.” There are a number of them, the most notable of which is the Senna Esse, where you can overtake.Usually you plan for a while in advance, looking at how the car in front did on the previous lap and Understanding whether the car is going to create an opening or protect it, that’s what’s fun regarding this sport.” “Brazil is always exciting and the crowd is very real – air horns, smoke bombs, bands playing, people dancing in the grandstands.” It’s very similar to Mexico, the stadium atmosphere, etc. I enjoy it and churrascaria is always fun!”
