“My engineer told me the current fastest lap with a lap to go, and it was about half a second quicker than what I’d done. And I wasn’t really wasting too much time but I thought I’d put a proper qualifying lap in, used all of the track everywhere and it was a big lap – probably better than my qualifying lap yesterday!”
#god his whole 2020 was such a champion's drive ...#if only he had the proper machinery (which unfortunately is the story of his career)#it was the being confident enough to take charge to make himself heard#the way he was so determined to maximise all the opportunities to score and to extract the last bit of performance#mature. disciplined. sexy#and not to forget him getting renault their first podium in 10 years. their first fastest lap in 10 years#renault/alpine would not have won again in 2021 if HE hadn't put them on track towards it#hell they probably would still not be in f1 today if it were not for daniel#and i'll die on this hill#daniel ricciardo#renault!dan#spa20
