F1 | Ricciardo: “I heard something strange in the car, the sound of the engine”

“The first 10 or 15 laps were really difficult on the Medium tyre, there were a few. In the first laps I needed to be really patient and overtake the cars one by one. Once I got into the clean air I was able to hit some eighteen bass which seemed competitive at the time, although in reality we weren't able to show our full potential today. We could have done many laps with the Medium tire and I think the strategy would have worked towards the end", commented Daniel Ricciardo at the end of the German GP, ​​which started badly (penultimate) and ended worse, with a retirement and 0 points.

“On lap 29 I felt something strange when I was downshifting into Turn 6 and then, once I accelerated, I lost power and the engine started to sound quite bad. Some sort of engine failure which is obviously quite frustrating. Too many situations like this this season, it hurts, it always does. Maybe I won't remember this race, but I will remember the crowd of fans, it was really nice even if it could be the last GP,” concluded the Australian.
