Daniel Ricciardo's 'vulnerable' Max Verstappen theory on Lewis Hamilton approach

Daniel Ricciardo’s ‘vulnerable’ Max Verstappen theory on Lewis Hamilton approachLewis Hamilton made the admission to Max Verstappen in the Canada cool-down room that the Mercedes W14 “sucks” in low-speed corners, and Daniel Ricciardo thinks Hamilton was trying to catch Verstappen with his guard down.

And while Hamilton did drop a step on the podium to P3 in Canada, the final margin to the dominant Verstappen, who claimed a fourth win in a row, was greatly reduced once more. Between Verstappen and Hamilton on the road was Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, and as the trio headed to the cool-down room post-race ahead of the podium celebrations, Hamilton would speak to Verstappen about the race, telling him that Mercedes “suck in the lower speed corners”.

Speaking as part of an alternate telecast of the Canadian Grand Prix alongside actor and comedian Will Arnett, Ricciardo said: “It’s interesting you know, I see it as Lewis has gone up to him thinking he’s vulnerable and might let his guard down and try and get some information about the car and give it back to the team.
