Daniel Ricciardo

Yes, there were many retirements in that race, but not to take away the fact he got 5th. Daniel did well, he was happy, the team was happy, and that's all that counts. I'd much rather be out there coming last than not being there at all. He's out there living the dream as he said. Good on him and I reckon give it a few years and he'll be at the front of the field. Probably a god send being out of the lime light and just learning.

Many of the guys started their career at the back.

 

I thought it was actually quite funny how gigantic his grin was after the race, and how steadfastly he stuck with it, somehow even whilst having a conversation with Lee McKenzie

 

Mr Webber's fellow Minardi punter Mr Yoong finished 7th.. no points for him

 

yep. he was pleased....and a little bit relieved. there must be immense pressure.

 

Yep, I reckon in some ways NOT blitzing things on your first outing may be helpful in the long run... just quietly build up without TOO much hype. I can't help wondering if trying to live up to the early expectations is what has cruelled Webber, to some degree.

 

In that race Daniel would of finished = 7th with Yoong as they were both 3laps behind the leader.

 

That'd be minus 2 places, John!

 

Daniel did very well but Mark was limited by team orders says autosport.

 

you caught the pedant out Pete, well done

 

Pete, you should be joining your brother on the GG with us.

 

A long way from here, Jon. Maybe one year, though...
Safe motoring. regards

 

when is it?

 

Ask you know who.

 

I'd love to be able to find 3 seconds in my latest venture.

 

OK, I'll come and drive it.

 

I'd chuck you the keys mate, but there aren't any.

 

Lol

 

Good to know.

 

you're so cruel

 

Pete Wall - congratulations on the news disclosed in Horsepower; commiserations to M!

 

If anyone here has influence with the TV journos, can they please get them to pronounce Daniel's surname properly; they make him sound like a Mexican.

 

ok Lucy
