F1 | Ricciardo convinced: "A double missed in Sepang due to the start"

A Sepang, in Malaysian GP, it could have been a double Red Bull very easy. With the Ferrari out of contention and a not very competitive Mercedes, it could have been a 1-2 for the Austrian team. Max Verstappen managed to win for the second time in his career after his first success in Barcelona 2016 ma Daniel Ricciardo he only finished 3rd. The cause? Definitely the wrong start.

This is his opinion Australian who confirmed: “The start was the key to the race,” he said. “Bottas had the outside, I tried to defend my line but he went to the outside”, until closing after a few corners behind the Finn and away from the leading duo Hamilton-Verstappen.

A ESPN Ricciardo confirmed that he had, especially at the end, the right pace to finish the race in front: “I had very good times, but in the strategy game I had to return earlier than expected. My engineers knew it,” he continued.
