Ricciardo was caught off guard by the early elimination in the qualifying session of the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Daniel Ricciardo expressed his surprise at finishing in 18th place in the qualifying session for the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix. Despite the highly upgraded RB car feeling decent, it failed to deliver the expected performance. The team struggled to extract the desired results from the new modifications, leading to Ricciardo’s disappointment. Although he believed they had made progress, the result was unexpected. Ricciardo still feels that there is more potential to be explored in the car and hopes to find improvements in the upcoming races in Austria and Great Britain. These tracks will provide a valuable testing ground to understand the car’s capabilities and make necessary adjustments.
