Daniel Ricciardo,Formula One,Japanese Grand Prix

Daniel Ricciardo insists that his first-lap crash at the Japanese Grand Prix was not a result of him being under pressure, but rather 'just one of those things'. The incident, which involved a collision with Alex Albon's Williams, was investigated by the stewards and both drivers were cleared of any wrongdoing.

Daniel Ricciardo has dismissed the latest calamity in his dismal Formula One season as “just one of those things”, adamant his first-lap crash at the Japanese Grand Prix wasn’t down to him being a driver under pressure. The Australian RB pilot’s collision with Alex Albon’s Williams less than half a minute into Sunday’s Suzuka race was investigated by the stewards, with both eventually being cleared over the incident that left them hitting the barriers but fortunately emerging unscathed.

In yet another race won by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen with Sergio Perez nabbing second, Tsunoda went on to finish 10th in front of his home fans and has now gathered all seven of RB’s points in the championship this season. Ricciardo, in contrast, is increasingly under pressure to show he is not a fading force after his previous underwhelming stint at McLaren.
