Visa Cash App RB Team Pilots Sayings Ahead of Race Weekend in Miami
DANIEL RICCIARDO #3
“The result in Shanghai didn’t reflect that, but we made progress in China; The car’s performance has been strong and I’m sure that will continue. It’s obviously going to be a challenge this weekend with the three-place grid penalty, but we’ll be pushing for points. It’s no secret that I love spending time in the States, so I’m looking forward to hitting the track in Miami. I’ve only raced here once so I’m looking forward to going back. It can be a really hot race. Racing in America is always fun, it’s as much about the big show as it is about the actual racing. Whenever I think of Miami, I think of the heat, the humidity, and the stadium. The fans always have a huge energy, so it’s a real buzz. Being close to the beach is also nice because it’s not often you get to swim in the sea during a race week.”
YUKI TSUNODA #22
“China didn’t go well for us, even though the potential was there in the car, so I’m very excited about this weekend because I believe we can come back stronger. It’s always been a great atmosphere in Miami and I have good memories of the last two years, so I can’t wait to get out on the track. It’s another sprint weekend which is a tough race week and our aim will be to try and score points in both races with the focus on the main race on Sunday. I always enjoy sampling the local food at the races, so I’m looking forward to having a Miami specialty again; Stone crab – the bigger the better!”
ALAN PERMANE (RACE DIRECTOR)
“Visa Cash App RB has put the disappointment of Shanghai behind it and is fully focused on Miami. The next sprint weekend will see competitive action on all three days and it will be important to get going in the first practice session. We will have aerodynamic updates on both cars and we are looking forward to seeing where this will increase our performance. Miami is a challenging track that requires less drag than Shanghai and Suzuka, and where it’s important that the drivers have full confidence in the car to be able to drive close to the walls and get the most out of them.”
