Hometown hero Daniel Ricciardo will start from 12th on the grid at today’s Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne after a less than impressive showing during qualifying.
Lewis Hamilton scorched the field to claim a record eighth pole position at the Albert Park circuit after a scintillating final lap on Saturday. He’ll lead the field ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas and rivals Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.
It was a frenetic start to the first grand prix of the year. Valterri Bottas got ahead of Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton to surge into the lead but disatser struck immediately for Daniel Ricciardo.
Commentators speculated the Aussie lost his front wing as debris went flying from his car. He veered off the track onto the grass as he tried to edge past Sergio Perez but suffered car damage as a result of looked like a low-risk move.
“That’s a huge blow for him,” F1 legend Mark Webber said of Ricciardo’s horror start. “He’ll be livid.”
Webber said it was a “brutal” penalty for Renault’s new recruit while Sky Sports F1 pundit Martin Brundle said: “Daniel will be a little bit shocked by that.”
Ricciardo was forced to head to the pits after just one lap so his car could be looked at.
Daniel Ricciardo was “set-up” in a bungled pre-race promotion that regrettably went live on Channel 10 and Fox Sports.
The Aussie was interrupted during the drivers’ parade around Albert Park to be interviewed by the host Formula 1 broadcaster as he tossed some yellow Renault hats to fans on the other side of the track’s safety wall in a pre-arranged stunt.
The only problem is the safety wall was too high and the fans were separated too far away from him on the other side of the cage for the flimsy hats to reach them.
Ricciardo even told the interviewer the same stunt failed spectacularly 12 months ago in Melbourne as well.
“This didn’t work last year,” he said before his first attempt to throw a hat to the eager fans, which ended up sailing into the fence.
After the second hat failed to clear the trench separating fans from the fence and the third hat also crashed into the fence, Ricciardo could only have a giggle about the whole mess.
“You set me up for failure,” he said.
When the segment cut back to the Sky Sports studio, Formula 1 commentator Simon Lazenby said: “Someone should have planned that, shouldn’t they.”
F1 stars and officials have paid tribute to former race director Charlie Whiting after he died in Melbourne aged 66, less than 24 hours after the F1 season launch.
Whiting died after suffering a pulmonary embolism on Thursday morning, just one day before he was scheduled to officiate the first practice session of the Formula 1 season.
Drivers and officials from all teams gathered on the Albert Park track behind a sign saying “Thank you Charlie” to show their gratitude for Whiting’s contribution to F1.
Even the ever smiling Daniel Ricciardo found it hard to find a bright side to his Australian Grand Prix qualifying fizzer, admitting he had let his army of fans down.
The Australian star will start 12th on the 20-strong grid for Sunday’s Formula 1 season opener in an underwhelming debut for new team Renault.
Ricciardo had played down his 2019 podium chances since making a shock exit from frontrunners Red Bull but still couldn’t hide his qualifying disappointment.
Especially after looking out at the sudden influx of yellow and black clad Renault fans in the heaving Melbourne crowd.
Fans had little to cheer about after Ricciardo didn’t even make the third and final stage of Saturday’s qualifying which features the 10 fastest drivers.
“I race, first and foremost for myself, but part of me was bummed for the crowd,” he said.
“I know they would have loved to see me in Q3. That’s where I felt I came up short, for them.” And Ricciardo reckoned he only had himself to blame.
“Normally, if I don’t do so well in qualifying, I seem to carry a chip on my shoulder for the race which helps me out, so I will use it as fuel for tomorrow,” he said.
“I don’t think 12th is a representation of where we are — I feel we are better.
“I’m very optimistic for the race. It’s just a matter of if we can pass and attack.”
Renault finished “best of the rest” in fourth spot behind the big three of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull in the 2018 constructors’ championship.
But Ricciardo resisted the temptation to point fingers at his new team following his qualifying effort.
“I blame myself. The grip was there to go quicker. It’s always painful when you know you haven’t got 100 per cent out of it,” he said.
