Monaco 2016

[Whyzars]

Why should a driver crack a smile when they aren't happy? I'd much rather drivers not be robots than ply the PR game. Be human and show it is what I say!

Its not about the PR game rather its about having a sense of occasion.

Driver behaviour on the podium's is not improving and borders on disrespectful at times - its not as if the drivers have paid for anything or hosted anything or are irreplaceable.

Maybe the drivers need to be reminded that they are sports people first.

Daniel could have said almost all that he did say , and finished it off with "but , in the end , we lost this win as a team ."

It's alright for him to express that he's mad , but he'll need to trust the apology , because he and every other driver needs to trust his own team .
Utter petulance right now will only make him look like an 18 year old who feels entitled .

...When that happens just after missing the chicane , it's hard to understand why he wasn't penalized , given last race's reasoning .

+1

Stick a pile of tyres at that chicane and problem solved...

I think he would look more like a fool if after being screwed twice (Barcelona and Monaco) from winning races that he had in hand, he gives us his usual smile and appear not peaved by the situation.

Opportunities may be few and far between in the future races, you really never know, hence missing the ones that he clearly sees were there for the taking if everything else were ok or done right, is very hard to take. He is well within his rights to moans about it. I really don't see anything wrong with that. RB f**ked up to the win for Ricciado.

That said, l really don't think Ricciado has fallen out of favor with the Redbull team. He is still their best chance of winning their next constructor and driver titles. It would be quite daft for RB to styme their best asset. Hence the conspiracy theory does not add up.

You win as a team and lose on your own.

If the car God's were smiling he would have passed Hamilton and won. Hopefully the poor sod in the team who may have screwed up doesn't lose his job because the talent has fingered him.

I'm sorry but I don't think it is very becoming when a gifted athlete does the equivalent of holding his breath on the podium.

I think Mr. RIcciardo is experiencing a sense of entitlement that is thoroughly undeserved. He has won three races, one less than his former team mate has world championship titles and one of those wins was stolen from his team mate and one down to safety car lottery. He might think he's better than he really is and considering his team mate in 2014 was screwed over a lot worse than he, I can't remember Vettel staging such a public temper tantrum. He seems to forget that without RB he would still be racing god knows where, but certainly not F1.

That is a beautiful quote and so true. But give Ricciado a break. If RB gives him the support he deserves, he would most certainly be world champion in the near future.

*Snort* Support and RB only belong in the same sentence if you are Mr. Marko's favorite boy, which Danny isn't anymore since they got that dutch kid. Call Maranello, ask for Seb. He'll tell you how that works. Apart from that the race was rather frustratinjg. The Merc team order against Rosberg was a clear sign that he isn't supposed to win anything. The race being started behind the SC is sign that F1 is run by wussies.

i think it was a late call from RBR to switch from ultra soft to super soft. I'm sure they had the ultra's ready, but then made the late late cal.
Anyway he still had some opportunities to pass and locked up several times ruining his tires at the end.
Plus if he kept a cool head he might have had an opportunity in the last couple of laps as Hamilton said his tires were on the cliff at the end...plus the rain.

Now he probably feels how Hamilton felt last year. up by 30 seconds and finishing 3rd due to a pathetic pit call

Do you have any opinion about anyone or anything that isn't somehow based or related to Hamilton?

To which I say "Welcome Mate". That's how your team mate felt in 2014 when they stole his win in Canada, told him his chassis was cracked after Bahrain and "apologized" after fucking up his strat in Monza. I think Mr. Ricciardo starts to realize what it is like when you've fallen out of favor...

And the vettel obsessed version
