Not at all, his major damage was all to the floor, not to the chassis.

 

Let's flip it, IF Dan continues to beat Yuki, hopefully a lot of naysayers, me included, will concede it 'could' have been the original chassis...

 

Let's make sure the door swings both ways shall we....

I'd love it for Dan to have his mojo back. It's not just related to Yuki, I'd like both of them to be great.

Marko praises Dan after the China weekend.

"Ricciardo failed to score his first points of the season in China last week after being taken out by Lance Stroll. But Marko was encouraged by his performance up to that point.

“Daniel Ricciardo had a new chassis available in China and the whole thing was planned from the start because it is our third chassis that we wanted to bring to the track,” Marko told Speed Week. “But of course this change also played into psychology after Daniel’s disappointing performances on the previous weekends.

“Things went much better for Ricciardo in China. I find it unbelievable that Lance Stroll called him an ‘idiot after’ the chequered flag fell. And that he also had to receive a penalty for Miami. This really wasn’t his weekend.”

Dan also said the car felt rapid before the crash with Stroll. Such a shame we never got to see the rest of the race play out for him.

It’s more that it shouldn’t be mentioned at all, but there have been some incredible comments in this thread so I was just preempting that!

 

Yeah, I see your point re incredible comments, fair enough, I am just a bit of a believer in not preemptively adding fuel to a fire.

Took a bit of a break from posting here for a bit for various reasons but back now and hoping to see Dan continue building on a good performance the whole last race weekend.🙂 Not to mention the team in general moving up the grid.

I think of it more as pouring water on a dry, grassy area before the heatwave arrives.
