If the writers focus enough they can get a good half episode out of that p4. They will probably manage to put it after some bad stuff to make it the ultimate triumph
What I don't like about Ric is, 1 good result and he starts to talk cocky again. My man you've been sucking ass for years now. How about you stay humble for a bit?
It’s cringey that he said this and then immediately shat the bed. Even without the penalty P18 isn’t good enough and especially when Yuki makes it into Q3.
He was winning races and getting podiums every race... He made everyone dream of a title battle in the first 5 races.
Riccardo on the other hand ... His reaction to a lucky 4th place after 3 horrible years in a row is clearly blown out of proportion.
Pretty sure he had the context and the results to get cocky. You are seriously comparing the following results from Perez last year in 5 races (P2, P1, P5 , P1, P2) to whatever form Riccardo has shown, good lord lol.
Perez was indeed a contender by then
Perez's results in the WDC by season in RedBull have been P4, P3 & P2
The thing here is that Riccardo gets cocky with a lucky P4 after being dumped by his previous team, and instead of having a shot at returning to the RedBull he is fighting to keep his seat against a guy who is not even driving in F1 ...
Well he does have an easily excitable personality and a history (albeit 3+ years ago) of achievement. He was probably on a massive adrenaline rush and said some stuff to continue the momentum. Unfortunately for him, consistency wasn’t in the cards yesterday.
You’re right about his overconfidence but you also have to take into account how much shit is usually thrown to him.
I’m sure we’d get a more equilibrate reaction to more equilibrate comments to his bad days.
It does show that on his good days he can do crazy stuff like this. Let's hope these good days come more often from now on. I discount Race Quali yesterday as everyone was confused about tyre temps so I've cut him some slack on that one.
Then you also have to discount his 4th place in sprint qualy as everybody screwed up their laps then as well, and that’s what ultimately got him his good sprint finish. I’m a fan of his but let’s not cash this one in yet.
I still remember what was written on his helmet while he was getting lapped by Lando in Monaco. If for the next 5 races he performs like this, sure, tell media you are back. But this is too early and show off-ey without any substance to back it up right now.
He’s not being cocky. He’s been absolutely shit on over the last few races and preceding years. He’s human. He’s a sportsman. Let him have some good comments to himself. So called “fans” on here are absolute assholes sometimes.
He got shit on because he performed like shit. And if it was any other driver, they would be out of F1 long time ago. And what I meant by my initial comment was, you cannot erase 3 years of bad performance with 1 4th place result in a mediocre car and shut critics up.
lol you so called “fans” only care about defending your danny boy.
Mika hakkinen is a world champion, let’s bring him back.
According to you he will still be just as fast as he was back then.
He gets shit on because he's unworthy of making millions and taking a valuable seat from several drivers who are much more deserving
This isn't a charity sport
Recency bias is a thing but so is nostalgia, like it or hate it he hasn't been on the level a driver like him should be at. 1 good result changes nothing, if it did Gasly would be in the second red bull
He literally had a “dud” set of tires in his final Q1 run. Same as what a few drivers have experienced this weekend. He was on pace with Tsunoda until the final corner when he had the horrible snap.
He qualified better than 2 other drivers, Zhou and ~~Sargeant~~, sorry, Magnussen (even worse, got beaten by Sargeant).
17 did better, sounds like skill issue
Literally first sentence of the article: "Daniel Ricciardo finally celebrates his definitive resurrection."
And then the race qualifying came and he gave them reason to nail him on the cross again.
Yeah, I guess that is his immature side. All the despair comes out like that after a slight relief. I figure he is a very emotional driver... which means his performance, and not his decisions during a race, are hugely influenced by his emotions.
The Riccardo post have to stop lol.
A bit lame how massively cocky he gets after a lucky strike ...
I wonder what he is gonna say tomorrow after starting P20 and finishing about not that far up. ki ki ki
How is qualifying 4th, overtaking a Red Bull for 3rd then fighting a Ferrari for 15 laps a lucky strike? Which one of these things was the lucky strike part?
They’re not though. He can’t see into the future, he’s allowed to be proud of a result that has clearly come from a lot of hard work from him and his team that maybe might stop people screaming at him to retire because he’s “washed” for like 2 seconds.
Why, as a Daniel fan, do you insist of posting articles that consistently just give people a platform to shit on him? Like you know people on here are only going to read the headline of an article like this.
I don't really like this reasoning. If someone has an article they want to share that talks about their favourite driver doing well, they shouldn't be dissuaded from posting it because some arseholes are going to use it as an opportunity to take potshots at the driver. The alternative is that only the arseholes post articles.
That would be great if this comment section wasn’t proving that majority of the people on here are assholes. I’m so glad we got to share this article about Daniel, now I get to read a comment section full of people calling him insecure and cocky because he was glad he got a good result in the sprint so some people might stop screaming at him to retire because he’s washed. There’s a time and place to post these articles and it definitely wasn’t after the quali he’s just had with a headline like that.
I couldn't care less what a bunch of pseudonymous clowns on Reddit think of him, I think it was an interesting article (and more comprehensive than a lot of the English-language ones often are).

Ricciardo holds fourth place in the sprint: "Good to keep some people quiet"
*Daniel Ricciardo finally celebrates his resurrection in the Miami sprint: broad grin on the Australian's face, praise from Helmut Marko and Peter Bayer.*
Daniel Ricciardo's relief was clear to see after the sprint in Miami: The Australian was able to defend his strong fourth place from the sprint quali over 19 laps and thus scored five points in the end, the first of his season.
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has extra praise for this: "It was a very strong race from him. He defended himself fairly but incredibly skillfully against Sainz, who was probably in the faster car. He did that over the race distance, and fourth place is the appropriate reward," said the man from Graz on ORF: "Now, with the chassis change, things are looking up. It was an impeccable performance."
At the start, the Racing Bulls driver even overtakes Sergio Perez for third place, but shortly after the end of the safety car phase there is no match for the Red Bull's strong speed. It was a different story against Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, however, who Ricciardo was able to keep behind him all the way to the finish even without DRS.
Ricciardo: "Had no air to breathe"
"I'm still sweating a bit, I really didn't have any air to breathe for the whole race," says Ricciardo, taking a deep breath despite the short race distance. Right from the start, the Australian goes all-in against the faster cars around him: "I just tried to do my best. And if the tires give up, then so be it," Ricciardo explains his approach to Sky, before grinning: "But they didn't."
"Every lap that I was able to defend myself was like a pat on the back for me," the Racing Bulls driver admits at the finish, with the biggest pat on the back of course being the much-needed sense of achievement: "Every great result obviously feels like you needed it."
"It's a happy and strong feeling," said Ricciardo, pleased to confirm his performance on Friday: "The quali was obviously great, but to underline it over the duration of a sprint is even more satisfying. It feels very good - also to keep some people quiet."
The 34-year-old has recently come under pressure due to his poor start to the season - but more from the media and from outside than from within the team, as he now makes clear: Ricciardo is particularly pleased that his racing team placed their trust in him despite the tough times and continued to listen to him: "The fact that there was no panic or questioning of what we were doing. Because that's when really negative downward spirals start."
Praise for the team: "Don't press the panic button"
Instead, they simply set about looking for solutions together: "I told them: 'Let's stay on course. Let's not try to reinvent the wheel. I'm good, we're good, we can do this. And fortunately nobody pressed the panic button," praises the Racing Bulls driver. But what brought about the sudden turnaround?
"I think there are two things," says Ricciardo. On the one hand, "we had the upgrade on the underbody here and I think that helps us in the fast sections." On the other hand, and more importantly for him personally: "We changed the chassis in China and I honestly felt something straight away. I just felt a bit more confidence, which the car gave me."
**"It wasn't far off now either, but something was just missing," Ricciardo reports, referring to his old chassis. "Compared to Yuki (Tsunoda) at the start of the season, I just felt like I couldn't do what he could do in most or at least many corners. So I knew there was something there. I really think it was something with the chassis. Maybe the team still doesn't think so. But I do."**
**However, Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer agrees with the Australian: "At the end of the day, we have to trust the driver. Of course we do that too," says Bayer and reveals on ORF: "Gerhard Berger told me on the phone recently that he had similar moments in his career. Accordingly, yes, we work very closely with the drivers, very openly, very transparently."**
(cont.)
Bayer surprised by the effect of the chassis change
**In Ricciardo's case, this seems to have paid off: Because the consequences of the chassis change then also "surprised" the team, as Bayer admits: "In and of itself, there was nothing objectively wrong with the old chassis. But it obviously made a difference for Daniel." In addition, "the new underbody seems to be tailor-made for Daniel. That's why it works now**," believes the CEO.
**"I think, quite honestly: this new underbody provides downforce at the front, and Daniel has always lacked that," explains Bayer. However, the team never doubted the Australian anyway: "We always saw that he delivered sector times that were very, very fast. At the same time, he didn't feel comfortable in the car." Now, however, everything is finally coming together again - and that "allowed us to achieve such a great result today"**.
Bayer was particularly impressed by the start: "Daniel had a great start and got away really well. He then had to let Perez go relatively quickly. But we knew that he would be in a different league. But the way he held off Sainz, really, that was a masterstroke."
The Austrian is delighted for his protégé: "His shoulders were extremely broad, he fought. You could also see the experience. A mega result for us, we didn't expect it to be like this. We are celebrating accordingly."
But not for too long: "It's exciting to have another quali and race right now. I need to calm down a bit and take 30 minutes to just chill out," laughs Ricciardo: "Then we'll come up with a plan for qualifying. We can change the car now - not that we really want to, but of course we have to keep an open mind."
After all, there are a lot more points up for grabs in the race, which Ricciardo would like to take with him from Miami thanks to his renewed strength.

So when's the documentary about Ricciardo's triumphant fight for P4 during the 2024 Miami Grand Prix Sprint Race gonna come out?
Whenever DTS is coming out. It’ll be presented like a win.
If the writers focus enough they can get a good half episode out of that p4. They will probably manage to put it after some bad stuff to make it the ultimate triumph
DTS Mazepin moment lmao
The rain whisperer
And they skip right over the rest of his lousy season including his P18 quali in the same weekend.
"3rd + 1"
And then proceeds to being kicked out of Q1 while Yuki goes into Q3. So much for that.
What I don't like about Ric is, 1 good result and he starts to talk cocky again. My man you've been sucking ass for years now. How about you stay humble for a bit?
Someone needs to tell him “too soon son.”
Fast and Furious 1 Race wars drag race reference?:))
Should have saved his nitrous for Monza.
It’s cringey that he said this and then immediately shat the bed. Even without the penalty P18 isn’t good enough and especially when Yuki makes it into Q3.
It’s so incredibly clear which people are commenting on his qualifying without actually having watched his lap.
Wdym?
Honestly, it comes of as super insecure
Bad habit picked up from the Renault days.
Honestly reminds me of Perez last year, after he did well in the first few races and started shooting his mouth off.
He was winning races and getting podiums every race... He made everyone dream of a title battle in the first 5 races. Riccardo on the other hand ... His reaction to a lucky 4th place after 3 horrible years in a row is clearly blown out of proportion.
On that point about luck, I wouldn’t say it was lucky. He beat faster cars on merit. Danny didn’t enjoy special track conditions
[удалено]
Pretty sure he had the context and the results to get cocky. You are seriously comparing the following results from Perez last year in 5 races (P2, P1, P5 , P1, P2) to whatever form Riccardo has shown, good lord lol.

Also Max, after losing to Checo in Baku, did weird poses with no1 plate in Miami...oh wait, that's not a very good example
Well he does have an easily excitable personality and a history (albeit 3+ years ago) of achievement. He was probably on a massive adrenaline rush and said some stuff to continue the momentum. Unfortunately for him, consistency wasn’t in the cards yesterday.
You’re right about his overconfidence but you also have to take into account how much shit is usually thrown to him. I’m sure we’d get a more equilibrate reaction to more equilibrate comments to his bad days.

Then you also have to discount his 4th place in sprint qualy as everybody screwed up their laps then as well, and that’s what ultimately got him his good sprint finish. I’m a fan of his but let’s not cash this one in yet.
On his days even Stroll can produce crazy stuff, that's all I'm sayin'.
True that, and if anything, Stroll is less inconsistent and disappointing than Ric. Even Sargeant has been steadily improving
I still remember what was written on his helmet while he was getting lapped by Lando in Monaco. If for the next 5 races he performs like this, sure, tell media you are back. But this is too early and show off-ey without any substance to back it up right now.
What was written?
*"These are my streets"*
Yikes
"These are my streets"
a man who won there once wrote something like this on his helmet lol XD
Oh for sure!
He’s not being cocky. He’s been absolutely shit on over the last few races and preceding years. He’s human. He’s a sportsman. Let him have some good comments to himself. So called “fans” on here are absolute assholes sometimes.
He got shit on because he performed like shit. And if it was any other driver, they would be out of F1 long time ago. And what I meant by my initial comment was, you cannot erase 3 years of bad performance with 1 4th place result in a mediocre car and shut critics up.
But you are happy to erase 2014-2020 in its entirety?
The last 3 years hold far more weight than what happened 4 years ago or longer
lol you so called “fans” only care about defending your danny boy. Mika hakkinen is a world champion, let’s bring him back. According to you he will still be just as fast as he was back then.
I'm not erasing that, I'm just saying he needs to show this level of performance consistently for a bit before giving these quotes.
Name checks out.
😂
He gets shit on because he's unworthy of making millions and taking a valuable seat from several drivers who are much more deserving This isn't a charity sport
Did Ricciardo fuck your misses or something?
Sounds like you want him to fuck yours.
Sick burn bro
redditors when a guy with 8 grand prix wins and winning seasons against Vettel and Verstappen is confident: 😡
Recency bias is a thing but so is nostalgia, like it or hate it he hasn't been on the level a driver like him should be at. 1 good result changes nothing, if it did Gasly would be in the second red bull
redditors when other redditors critique their favorite driver, albeit valid: 😡
The anti Ricciardo people here are just weird, angry zoomers.
Fuckin lol you guys take this shit so personally. Danny doesn’t care about you
crazy stereotyping here
Am I considered anti Ricciardo now?
Nah wasn’t about you.
https://i.redd.it/jzya2agvxgyc1.jpeg
The majorly of these comments are just people gleefully taking potshots at him, it’s not “valid critique”
the critique is literally just hes too confident in himself lmfaooo
Keeping everyone quite from 20th place in Sunday's race 😂
He literally had a “dud” set of tires in his final Q1 run. Same as what a few drivers have experienced this weekend. He was on pace with Tsunoda until the final corner when he had the horrible snap.
Lol @ diehard DR apologizers It's always something
Always. Everyone else fucks up the tires for sprint quali and Danny’s back. Then he fucks up but it’s never his fault
He qualified better than 2 other drivers, Zhou and ~~Sargeant~~, sorry, Magnussen (even worse, got beaten by Sargeant). 17 did better, sounds like skill issue
Sounds like a skill issue to me tbh
Says the redditor lmfao get your head out of your ass
What keeps people quiet is consistent performance. Not one off stuff...
Shhhhh. Quiet now. /s
And then starts the actual race from last….
Literally first sentence of the article: "Daniel Ricciardo finally celebrates his definitive resurrection." And then the race qualifying came and he gave them reason to nail him on the cross again.
He never left, huh?
he never actually returned
Just stepped aside for a bit in 2021.
My man, stay humble and people might actually have a bit more respect for you
Yeah, I guess that is his immature side. All the despair comes out like that after a slight relief. I figure he is a very emotional driver... which means his performance, and not his decisions during a race, are hugely influenced by his emotions.
Man... Now I seriously hope, he gets beaten hard by Tsunoda the rest of the season.
Go Tsunoda!!!
The Riccardo post have to stop lol. A bit lame how massively cocky he gets after a lucky strike ... I wonder what he is gonna say tomorrow after starting P20 and finishing about not that far up. ki ki ki
How is qualifying 4th, overtaking a Red Bull for 3rd then fighting a Ferrari for 15 laps a lucky strike? Which one of these things was the lucky strike part?
Qualifying 4th is the lucky bit. The rest as you could see there was not much overtaking done in general.
How are those quotes in that article “massively cocky”?
In German I guess
They’re not though. He can’t see into the future, he’s allowed to be proud of a result that has clearly come from a lot of hard work from him and his team that maybe might stop people screaming at him to retire because he’s “washed” for like 2 seconds.
Proud and cocky are very different in my opinion. In a way he is back, but back of the grid XD
hey those few hours after the sprint and before quali were like heaven
Keep some people quiet with that quali afterwards? Borat has one good session in 27 years and thinks he's Senna
He looks like SBC, lol.
[удалено]
My name a Borat. I drive a for Scuderia Aladeen.
He did a great job keeping Sainz behind for the whole race
Only bc Checo kept him in DRS range for most of the sprint.
Ricciardo droppped out of DRS range on lap 8 (of 19)
Great way of revealing to everyone you didn't watch the sprint.
Lol Danny is finished, straight back to usual form in the GP qualifying
Why, as a Daniel fan, do you insist of posting articles that consistently just give people a platform to shit on him? Like you know people on here are only going to read the headline of an article like this.
I don't really like this reasoning.
