F1 | Ricciardo: “At Imola I want to take advantage of last year's experience”

Daniel Ricciardo looking for an important result in the next one Grand Prix of Emilia Romagna and Made in Italy, the second round of the 2021 world championship formula 1. After the sixth place achieved in Bahrain and the excellent chronometric results shown by MCL35M in all race conditions, the Australian will try to achieve a top 5 finish and "give" important points to the McLaren for the fight with Ferrari, Aston Martin, AlphaTauri e Alpine in third place in the constructors' category.

“I can't wait to get back in the car after the positive start in Bahrain,” said Daniel Ricciardo. “We achieved a good result and it was nice to debut with the team with such a positive spirit. I was unlucky as we damaged the surface during the race and this didn't allow me to express my full potential, but overall I feel satisfied. We need to refine some things, but the feedback has been encouraging. I'm confident because I feel that the car can still offer potential."

“We worked hard in the factory to understand how to develop this year's concept,” he continued. “I thought I needed some races before I felt at my best with the package, but I actually managed to adapt quite quickly. I can say that the start was satisfactory and beyond my expectations."

Finally, conclusion on Imola: “It's an iconic, old-school track with a fast, flowing side. It offers little opportunity for error. I'm really excited to get back there after last year's race, where I finished on the podium. I want to use last year's experience to help the team."
