Ricciardo furious after crash with Stroll: 'F*** that guy'

Daniel Ricciardo was having a strong weekend until he was hit from behind by Lance Stroll at the end of the first safety car. The Aston Martin driver received a penalty for this, although he did not understand it at all. Consequently, Ricciardo was angry and then swore at the Canadian.

Ricciardo had a strong race, and points were possible. The VCARB driver was ninth at the time of the incident. After the collision, the Australian suffered so much damage that he ended up retiring As a result, he is still on zero points in the world championship.

Over the radio, Stroll said he did not understand anything about being given a penalty. He felt it was Ricciardo's fault. The Visa Cash App RB driver is, therefore, angry. He is quoted by Motorsport-total.com: "Apparently I am the idiot here and it was my fault. I'm really trying my best not to say what I want to say, but f*** the guy. If he watches it again in an hour he will blame himself. But if not, I can't help him."

Ricciardo continued: "Sure, these things happen, but this should never happen behind the safety car. I watched his on-board footage to see it from his perspective. You can see that, the moment he brakes, he's immediately looking at the apex of turn 14. He is not looking at me at all and when he does look, he is already on my tail. Yes, we're all stuck, but it's a hairpin. It's not like he pushed me and gave me a puncture. He just drove under my car."
