F1 | Australian GP | Ricciardo "Happy To Walk Away With First Points" Finishing P6 From Sunday's Race
McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo talks about what happened at today's home race and key takeaways from high's and low's that could be improved for himself and for the team in two weeks time for a race in Italy.
This weekend marks the first weekend in which the McLaren team brought home both their cars in a P5 and P6 finish earning their first double points finish of the season.
Ricciardo had a very solid home race as he followed his teammate throughout the race and finished right on his tail.
DOUBLE POINTS. 🤜🤛

Great job all weekend, team. #AusGP 🇦🇺 pic.twitter.com/g9Hlk85Hcu
Ricciardo comments, "It has been a better weekend which is positive for the team. I'm happy with the progress and, as a team result, I think we executed everything we could."
He adds, "I think the first part of the race was positive but there is still a bit to work on. Probably in that second stint I lost a little bit of pace on the Hard tyre."
When you score your first points of 2022 at your home race! 😁

You did all of us and all of Australia proud this week, Daniel. 🧡 #AusGP 🇦🇺 pic.twitter.com/2tJ7ukKATG
He continues, "It came back to me a little bit – but we still have a bit of understanding to do. I'll keep working at it but generally, as a whole, the weekend's been smooth. I'm happy to walk away with my first points of the year at home, which is also nice for all the fans who came out here, so I'm feeling pretty content."
He concludes, "We leave Melbourne in good spirits, which feels nice as it's probably been four years since I left here in good spirits.”
He felt the love all weekend so this message is for you, McLaren fans. 💜 @DanielRicciardo #AusGP 🇦🇺 pic.twitter.com/cfLCicTHF0
