rlLike, hit the brakes before moving in.

I like Ricciardo (as far as you can judge a personality on tv) and think highly of him as a driver. But last Sunday he just made a mistake, like every driver sometimes does. No big deal if it doesn't happen every race weekend. Maybe the team and car is not all that, maybe Ricciardo would have another problem during the race that was out of his influence, but going on the grass straight away and hitting that bump, that was only the driver.

My comment was not really related to how Ricciardo handled that situation, it was about how Cyril aired the dirty laundry after the event. He might think slating your newly signed driver in public is a good motivator but in my opinion he should have said those words privately.

For what it is worth I agree with you that Dan could have avoided the incident.
