Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration following a first-lap crash at the Japanese Grand Prix, labeling it as "one of the worst things that could happen" amidst his efforts to improve his performance this season. The Australian driver's race came to an abrupt end when his RB car spun over the grass and collided with the barriers after being clipped by Alex Albon's Williams.
Ricciardo's early exit further compounds a challenging start to the season, as he had yet to score a point in the first three races. Despite being selected for the RB team alongside Yuki Tsunoda, Ricciardo faced increased scrutiny, particularly with Liam Lawson's impressive performance during a stand-in stint last year and the absence of a Formula One seat for Lawson.
Reflecting on the incident, Ricciardo expressed disappointment for himself and the team, emphasizing the unpredictability of racing and the abruptness of a first-lap collision. Despite the setback, Ricciardo maintained his focus on the upcoming Chinese Grand Prix, recognizing the need to move forward and concentrate on future opportunities to improve performance.
