experienced a technical hiccup that led to a jump start, subsequently affecting his race performance. Positioned in the VCRB01, Ricciardo's car crept forward before the lights had gone off — an action that drew immediate scrutiny and a penalty.“It was weird because I got told I had a five-second penalty for a jump start, but I know I didn’t jump the lights, so I was a bit confused.”
“So I obviously questioned it, but then I remember, I feel like when I was finding the revs for the start, I felt maybe the car was moving.” This suspected clutch issue was later confirmed by his race engineer, Pierre Hamelin, complicating Ricciardo’s efforts right out of the gate. “So yeah, Pierre said obviously we had a bit of an issue, so perhaps a clutch or something. So that obviously was a little bit of a backstep.
“The start itself, we were drift city. I say the start, also just around Turn 1, I remember Lewis just literally breezing by me and I was Tokyo-ing it.” Despite these setbacks, Ricciardo faced additional challenges when rain required a change in tire strategy, causing him to lose track position. He recalled:
Amid the complications, Ricciardo demonstrated resilience and strategic acumen. After initial setbacks and penalties, he managed to make strategic moves that paid off as the race progressed.
