F1 | AlphaTauri, Ricciardo scores points in Mexico

Daniel Ricciardo conquers seventh position Mexico City, but his race perhaps deserved more. The Australian maintained fourth position throughout the first part of the race, and it was the red flag caused by Magnussen to damage him: with his opponents using the medium, Daniel only has the hard compound left to get back on track. L'Alpha Tauri he plays strategically, but Ricciardo fights and defends himself on the track, demonstrating that ability that we haven't seen from him in a long time.

“There are many emotions and I'm certainly more than fine. Two starts on this track keep you in suspense, because the straight leading to Turn 1 is very long and anything can happen. At the first start we entered and exited the first corner in fourth place and I was happy. At the restart, I was aware that that red flag would have damaged our race, but I'm happy to know that Kevin Magnussen wasn't hurt after that crash – commented Daniel – restarting with the hard compound, while the others opted for the medium , and losing just one position was almost the best scenario, so we did well. We tried to find our stride and I had a little struggle with it Norris, but then I let it go. We thought he would catch it George Russell and that it would allow us to get closer in turn and so it happened. On the last lap we were there, but we didn't make it. Be that as it may, fight with one Mercedes in the final lap it is exciting. Overall, it was a good weekend during which we gained six important points. And now let's continue like this."

Slightly more unlucky race for Yuki tsunoda, which was fighting for the points until, on the forty-ninth lap, contact with the McLaren di Oscar piastri. The AlphaTauri thus ends up spinning and Yuki finishes the race in twelfth position.

“Congratulations to the team and Daniel for the points achieved. As expected, the pace was good. Too bad about that accident with Piastri. I was happy with my stint on the hard tyres, without which I wouldn't have got up to eighth place and it certainly showed how good the car was. It was difficult to keep up with the others and I felt the tires were starting to struggle, so I wanted to pass as soon as possible. I apologize for the incident that caused me to slip to the back of the group. This track suited our car well and, given the slow corners in Brazil, I hope we can have the same potential and the same chances of fighting for the Top 10."
