Ricciardo looking forward to Miami: 'Chances are the gaps will be a little bigger'

McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo loves a party and he also loves the United States. The Australian therefore cannot wait for the upcoming Grand Prix in Miami. The fact that it is a new circuit makes him even more enthusiastic.
Ricciardo hopes not to lose concentration in Miami
Visiting American TV show The Daily Show, Ricciardo looks ahead to the next F1 weekend and the still unfamiliar track: "It's a challenge. There are circuits that I can drive completely in my head and visualize within a second." It will take some getting used to for all drivers in Miami, so maintaining concentration will be important: "I don't want to say it's difficult, but in a big city - most circuits are in the middle of nowhere, because you just need a lot of space - In Miami we drive around the Hard Rock stadium and it will be crazy."
Ricciardo was already in the simulator on Tuesday to get a feel for the track layout. It is only during practice that he expects to learn the most about the track. The Australian does find it always an interesting moment on a new track: "It gives you the opportunity to possibly find something faster than the rest. As a result, the gaps between us may be bigger."
