Daniel ‌Ricciardo‍ Sets Sixth Fastest Time‌ in⁤ F1 Singapore GP ​Free​ Practice

RB showed an outstanding ​performance in Friday practice for the Singapore Grand Prix, with Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda remaining solidly in the top 10 in both sessions.

“It​ was ⁢a ‍really good day for both of us,” said ‌Ricciardo, who admitted that with the renewed talk⁢ of his future, getting back behind the wheel​ seemed “the perfect fit.”

“I’m pretty happy with the car. It always needs some fine-tuning, but it’s nice to be up there. At least for⁤ now,⁤ it seems like we have⁢ a decent package here, so I’m happy with that.”

Asked about the source of his pace,⁤ the 35-year-old first laughed, then replied thoughtfully:‍ “The last time we had a lot of downforce… well, it⁣ was probably​ Zandvoort. I was thinking ⁤more about Budapest. Maybe this package‌ was suitable for​ Budapest and we were competitive there.”

“Maybe this type ​of‍ circuit with the bigger wing suits our car better at the​ moment. We thought we ​could get a‍ good result in Baku last⁤ week, ‌but ⁣that’s​ not​ really the case. It⁣ wasn’t the case,‌ because the downforce was quite high. Maybe the high downforce ‌set-up suits us better.”

Daniel Ricciardo’s Positive Day in Singapore

“It⁤ was​ a⁤ really positive day⁤ for the​ whole team. ​Yuki and I ⁤managed to‍ finish ‍in the top seven⁤ in both ⁤sessions.⁢ We were very close⁣ within two ⁤tenths of a second. I’m happy, it’s ⁤always a question⁣ of set-up,​ but it was nice to be⁢ in the points today.‌ We have a decent package⁤ and we look ⁤competitive today. It was really fun​ to ride around the circuit and I hope to keep‍ this⁢ pace tomorrow.”
