Daniel Ricciardo hopes to bring a wave of fresh feedback into his new Renault team. The Australian has moved to the French team from Renault and hopes to "annoy" his new engineers.
Renault launched their car on Tuesday, and Ricciardo would have had plenty of chances to come up with his thoughts on the new challenger. From what he says, it sounds like he has lots of feedback on his mind already!
“Hopefully there’s a lot I can bring, annoying the engineers and the designers and give them plenty of work to do. “I’m sure there’s going to be some things along the way and testing is the place to see that," Ricciardo said in an interview on Crash.net
“Until the ball starts rolling I won’t know what those things will be but we might get out first-day testing and I might be like ‘why are we doing this? There’s a more efficient way to be doing that’.
“Time will tell what my feedback is and what I can bring. I think from a driving point of view that’s going to be more straightforward.
“It’s no secret that Red Bull had a pretty awesome chassis so certainly some things I feel with this year’s car and I can feedback and say ‘OK it’s good here but I feel one of our weaknesses might be here so let’s put more attention and focus on this area’.”
