Daniel Ricciardo’s blessing is his curse 🍯🦡🇦🇺

Daniel is in his 14th season of Formula 1. He has had a long career in the highest tier of motorsport. However the questions that surrounded him at McLaren seem to have followed him to Visa CashApp FFS this is seriously what you called the team!

The thing is every driver seems to reach for the F1 seat, but Daniel’s seemingly lack of ability to adapt driving style is being compounded by the grid he currently drives on. You see, either competitively or for fun most of the drivers have had to adapt to a different style of driving. Some at a stupidly young age.

Let’s look into it

Max Verstappen - spends his days off driving any kind of race car Red Bull will let him. Seeing him take his Dad round the Nordschliefe says it all really.

Sergio Perez - drove just about every form of junior open wheel car on his way to F1.

Charles LeClerc - like Daniel seems to be all F1. Do we question he’d be a beast in a Ferrari sportscar though?

Carlos Sainz - again seems to be all F1 but remember Dad has a track on the family farm. He has been driving allsorts, on dirt, since he could sit in a car seat

Lewis Hamilton - never competitively but again over the year Mercedes has given him opportunities to drive all sorts of high powered sports cars for promotion. Even a superbike.

George Russell - says he tested a DTM car, again gets to play with the Merc sports cars

Lando Norris - went from karting to Ginetta then to open wheel. Add a go at the Daytona 500, all competitively. Embarrassed himself at the Race of Champions. Now seems to love ice karting (weirdo).

Oscar Piastri - another one straight through to F1, however only ever driven one F1 car but I don’t worry he wouldn’t adapt

Fernando Alonso - Nando has the full set right? F1, Indycar, WEC, Daytona, Dakar. Won Le Mans. Next!

Lance Stroll - has done a couple of races in IMSA.

Esteban Ocon - drove in DTM prior to F1

Pierre Gasly - drive in Formula E prior to F1

Alex Albon - has done a season of DTM

Logan Sargeant - straight through to F1. Again only driven one F1 car.

Kevin Magnussen - various stints in sportscar series throughout the years inbetween F1.

Nico Hulkenberg - Le Mans champion, Indycar test.

Yuki Tsunoda - straight through to F1. Only ever driven 1 F1 car.

Valtteri Bottas - ice rallying. Need I say more!

Zhou Guanyu - another open wheel all the way to F1. I’m gonna give him the credit of having driven the Renault a number of times before moving to Sauber.

So you see what Daniel is up against.

Not a winter break goes by when you don’t see half the grid in a go kart. Shout out to Lando and Fernando who seem to do it midseason and all the drivers who happily jump in for promotion days. (80% of the grid). One of the biggest shocks for me was when Daniel went karting with Jenson Button in 2021 and admitted he “hasn’t done this is years” 😬

So we are getting to the core of the problem. With a grid of drivers who turn their hand to anything, sometimes for a laugh, Daniel has never really pushed himself out of what he knows. And it’s biting him.

What is of further concern for him, is Liam Lawson is hovering (he should already be in a seat but I digress). A driver who went for F2 to DTM and nearly won the championship in the first season (I’m still bitter). Then into an F1 seat and was up to speed almost immediately.

The trouble is now it’s too late to throw him into a sportscar to give him the experience, because I’m not sure he would get back into F1. If Daniel thinks the Max and Lando’s were a handful to deal with, who needed a bit of maturing to hit their stride, the Oscar Piastri’s and Ollie Bearman’s of the world are terrifying.

Daniel needs to find the solution on his own. Before it eats away at his mental health and confidence. 6 laps in a NASCAR round COTA is not gonna cut it.

I think I know what’s happened and I and he are afraid to admit it. Ask Jenson Button about the point you sit behind the wheel and no longer want to take the risk or push the limit. I worry he has hit the mental block of I can’t learn another way and the idea of taking a high powered sportscar out terrifies him.

And who’s going to let him lose in the Red Bull if that is going on in his head?

Fingers crossed he shows up and shows out in Melbourne

F1 2020: Gasly fends off Sainz to win dramatic Italian GP - Click on link to subscribe my channel https://ift.tt/34vXvMA Facebook - https://ift.tt/2Vjiyz6 Twitter - https://twitter.com/HsrSports Pinterest - https://ift.tt/2ywdZIH Tumblr - https://ift.tt/2z5qwmL Blog - https://ift.tt/2VlBDRu #Motor_Sports #Formula1 #MotoGP Follow us on 6th Sep 2020 10:45 pm Gasly secured his maiden F1 win at the Italian GP; Sainz and Stroll complete a surprising podium as Hamilton was handed a penalty. Pierre Gasly won an action-packed 2020 Italian GP as Monza churned out one of the most memorable F1 races in recent history. With this, the French driver has secured his maiden F1 win and AlfaTauri’s second win in the sport, 12 years after Sebastian Vettel handed the team – then competing as Toro Rosso – their first victory at the same venue. McLaren’s Carlos Sainz and Racing Point’s Lance Stroll completed an unexpected podium after a 10-secs stop and go penalty for early leader Lewis Hamilton threw the race wide open. Pierre Gasly clinches his maiden F1 win Hamilton recovers from 10-sec stop and go penalty to finish 7th Both Ferraris retire on home ground Why was Hamilton handed a penalty at the Italian GP? It initially seemed like Hamilton was well on his way to secure his 90th career win. His Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas’ poor start allowed the McLaren duo of Sainz and Lando Norris to climb to 2nd and 3rd. And this only helped Hamilton pull away at the front. However, the race was turned on its head when the safety car was brought out as marshalls recovered Kevin Magnussen’s Haas. The location of the stricken Haas meant that the pit lane had to be closed. But Mercedes and Alfa Romeo seemed to miss out on this, with Hamilton and Antonio Giovinazzi both diving into the pits for fresh tyres. Just moments later the race was red flagged after Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc suffered a massive crash at Parabolica. While the grid waited for the race to re-start, the stewards handed Hamilton and Giovinazzi a 10-secs stop and go penalty for their pit lane transgressions, which translated to roughly a 30-secs loss at Monza. Hamilton served his penalty after the race re-started on lap 28 and it dropped him all the way down to last place. Gasly’s landmark victory Hamilton’s penalty, Bottas’ cooling problems and Max Verstappen’s subsequent retirement due to a power unit issue left the race with a rather unexpected leading pack. Gasly had done well to overtake Stroll at the re-start and he now found himself in the lead ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Sainz. Sainz overtook Raikkonen on lap 34 and then set about trying to catch Gasly. At one point his race engineer reminded him to avoid making any errors as 2nd place was yet a major result. But Sainz replied with a steadfast “I want this win”. The race went right down to the wire as Sainz eventually closed up to the back of Gasly’s AlphaTauri. But he ran out of time and had to settle for 2nd place. Gasly ended up crossing the line 0.415 secs ahead – some much-needed redemption for the French driver, 13 months after he was dropped by Red Bull. Stroll secured his second career podium with a 3rd place finish. Interestingly, this was the first time since the 2013 Australian GP that not a single driver from Mercedes, Red Bull or Ferrari stood on the top step of the podium. “Honestly, it’s unbelievable. I’m not realising what’s happening right now. It was such a crazy race, and then we capitalised on the red flag,” a shocked Gasly said after the race. "I’ve been through so much in the space of 18 months, my first podium last year, I was already like ‘wow’ with AlphaTauri. And now my first win in Formula 1 in Monza. I have got no words,” he continued. Norris comfortably held off Bottas to take 5th place and secure another strong result for McLaren. Daniel Ricciardo raced to 6th place, while Hamilton recovered from his penalty to finish 7th. Esteban Ocon, Daniil Kvyat and Sergio Perez rounded out the top 10. Disastrous home race for Ferrari Following a disappointing Belgian GP , where Ferrari failed to score a single point, things only got worse for the Italian squad on home ground. Sebastian Vettel could only qualify down in 17th and retired early on with a brake failure. Leclerc, meanwhile, lost the rear of his car and crashed into the outside wall at Parabolica. Speaking after his race ended prematurely, Vettel even said that it was “a blessing” that...
