Formula 1 during 1950 introduced its first driver Maria Teresa de Filippis. Formula 1 had total of 4 women driver in its history. With its last driver Giovanna Amati driving for Braham.

Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda talks after Bahrain GP clash

Following a near-miss on the cool-down lap, Daniel Ricciardo and teammate Yuki Tsunoda discussed the situation behind closed doors in the hours following the Bahrain Grand Prix. Tsunoda became irritated when he was instructed to make way for Ricciardo so that his teammate, who was running soft tires, could try to pass Kevin Magnussen for the 12th-place position.

Although Ricciardo was unable to get past the Haas, he was not instructed to return the position. After the checkered flag, Tsunoda decisively passed the Australian during braking and nearly made contact with him as he returned to the racetrack. According to Ricciardo, there is no fight between the two because the issue was discussed right away following the race.

Ricciardo said he thinks that the race situation is something that, obviously, can happen. Riccardo then added Drivers never like team orders, so if a driver doesn’t react straight away it’s not it’s like the first time that has ever happened. But it will be interesting to see who will finish higher in driver standings of Ricciardo and Tsunoda.
