Aussie Formula One star Daniel Ricciardo has used some very choice words to respond to his critics at the Canadian Grand Prix. One in particular, 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, questioned why the Australian driver even has a spot on the grid. “I think his image has kept him in F1 more than his actual results,” Villeneuve said on Sky Sport s. Asked about the comment after he qualified fifth on Sunday morning , Ricciardo initially bit his tongue — but eventually couldn’t hold back.

Australian duo Oscar Piastri and Ricciardo were less than two hundredths of a second behind Russell in fourth and fifth. Two weeks on from his glorious home win in Monaco, title hopeful Charles Leclerc will start only 11th as Ferrari suffered a shock double elimination in Q2. Lewis Hamilton had earlier set a blistering fastest time in final practice as Mercedes hinted at further improvement after a promising showing in Monaco.
