The sister team of Red Bull, VCARB, had a disappointing performance at the Saudi Arabian GP, with drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda failing to secure any points. This continues the team’s streak of not scoring any points. Ricciardo expressed his difficulties during the race in Jeddah, mentioning the challenges he faced throughout the race weekend. He also highlighted the slow pit stops carried out by the team. Additionally, Ricciardo took responsibility for his mistake of hitting the curb in turn 1, which caused him to spin and drop in the standings.
Despite the recent lack of points, Ricciardo remains optimistic about achieving better results as the season progresses. The Faenza-based team will work to improve their performance during the break before the race in Melbourne. Ricciardo is looking forward to competing in his home race.
Tsunoda also acknowledged the challenges he faced during the Saudi Arabian GP. He admitted that the race was tough for him and mentioned how he allowed some cars to pass him while trying to overtake. The Japanese driver also struggled with grip and pace issues, further hampering his performance.
However, there were some positive aspects to highlight from the point-less race for the VCARB team. Tsunoda pointed out the team’s strong qualifying results and expressed the intention to analyze the race and identify areas for improvement. He believes he can also enhance his performance in certain aspects. Therefore, the next Grand Prix weekend has the potential to bring better results for the team.
Despite the initial optimism surrounding challenger VCARB at the beginning of the season, the team has yet to score any points. However, they are determined to show improvement as the season progresses and aim to secure crucial points at the Australian GP. Currently, VCARB, along with other teams on the grid, has no points.
