Daniel Ricciardo and Oscar Piastri were collateral damage in the Brazilian Grand Prix start chaos...
Daniel Ricciardo was not pleased with the FIA, the AlphaTauri driver ending up a lap down after becoming collateral damage in a shunt at Turn 1.
Ricciardo finished the race P13 ahead of Piastri only, ruing the unfortunate events as he saw a potential solid haul of points evaporate. Team-mate Yuki Tsunoda claimed two points for a P9 finish.Expanding on his frustrations post-race, Ricciardo called for the FIA to be more “open-minded” and address this ruling that left him a lap down, saying he was “exceptionally fast” with the performance at his disposal in the AT04.
“The incident itself, obviously I was at the back so I saw quite early the smoke and the debris and let’s say the chaos. And then I just remember seeing like a wheel, I guess the tyre came off the rim, just kind of like frisbeeing through the air and started coming closer and I think even my instinct was to duck my head and I didn’t feel anything hit me, so I was like. ‘Alright, cool’.
“I think on top of that, we were I want to say exceptionally fast today. We couldn’t always show it because we were a lap down and just having to play let’s say the team game of course, not getting in the way of obviously Yuki’s race or even other cars around us.
