Daniel Ricciardo claims he puts “100%” on himself before suggesting issues to RB after chassis fiasco

Daniel Ricciardo has not been delivering expected performances since the start of the season allegedly due to multiple issues with RB’s car. Ricciardo’s best finishes are a P8 result in Montreal and securing fourth in recent Miami Sprint so far.

Based on these results Daniel Ricciardo while talking to media explained, regardless of his belief in luck he acknowledged that his performance vary. Sometimes the 34-yea-old has an excellent weekend while other times they’re not as good with the new upgrades made for the race in China.

I still believe there is something but look, honestly whether I believe or not, it's clear that with this new one, I've had some great races or some great performances, and some not so great.

Daniel Ricciardo reported on RacingNews365

The 34-year-old assured he’s giving his maximum efforts in every task he does and ability before considering other factors that affect his performance. Daniel Ricciardo claimed his focus will hundred percent remain on improving himself and taking responsibility of his performance, rather than blaming luck for success and failure.

And yeah, just make sure I'm getting the most out of me and being 100% kind of on myself before I then start going 'alright, what about this? What about that?

Daniel Ricciardo claims new RB chassis might’ve helped him at Miami GP

During his recent good performances, Daniel Ricciardo seems to have credited the new chassis brought in China for his promising weekend there, where things started falling in the Australian’s favor. This change helped him finish fourth in the Miami Sprint race.

I think, when in China when I got the new chassis and the weekend was looking better, and then Miami started well, I said 'alright, yeah, it could be it'

Daniel Ricciardo explained

Despite bringing effective changes, the 34-year-old felt the performance still lacks inconsistency. Despite these setbacks Ricciardo acknowledges he still has the skill to achieve impressive results and standout performance. The Honey Badger has failed to match teammate Yuki Tsunoda for the majority of the 2024 season so far.

But then, now I have a couple of runs of maybe not so good races. So yeah, I think what's good is, obviously, I still have the ability to do some pretty cool things, pretty special or whatever.

Daniel Ricciardo stated

Certainly, Daniel Riccairdo feels optimistic about his potential to deliver better performance day by day and score some points for Red Bull’s sister team. Fans would love to see Riccairdo bounce back from all the challenges he’s been facing and they appreciate the driver’s positive attitude and resilience in tough situations like this.
