Daniel Ricciardo shows sympathy for the Formula 1 fans

Daniel Ricciardo's rant after the French Grand Prix might well be the most remembered aspect of the weekend. The Renault driver felt sorry for the fans whilst he was in the cockpit.

The time gaps between drivers were huge and fights only started to happen within the final couple of laps. One of those fights included Ricciardo himself, but he was penalised twice for leaving the track.

But before that in the middle of the race, Ricciardo put himself in the shoes of the fans.

"To be honest, if I'm by myself and I can see big gaps across the field in front of me, in my mirrors, sometimes I'm also thinking 'this isn't probably that exciting for people watching," he says after the criticism that it was quite a boring race around Paul Ricard.

Following this, Ricciardo offered his thoughts on how to improve the action on the track.

"As a racer, I would love for everything to be equal, so all us 20 drivers could be fighting to see who the best is. Some tracks, some drivers would be better and you would see a mix as the top guy wouldn't always be winning, it would be close," Ricciardo is quoted by GPFans.
