Daniel Ricciardo is hungry to get back on the track

As reported by Planetf1, the McLaren driver, upon his return, mentioned that he was hungry to get back on track with his car. Daniel has a lot of catching up to do in the free practice sessions to get a hold of the new car in Bahrain.

“I’m glad to be back, feeling better and ready for the Bahrain Grand Prix and season ahead. I was disappointed to not be in the car last week but despite being unwell, I’ve been able to keep in touch with the team, chat to Lando [Norris] about the car, and prepare as best as I can for the race weekend,” said Ricciardo.

“I want to maximize the free practice sessions to better understand the car and fine-tune everything ready for qualifying and lights out on Sunday,” said the McLaren driver.

The Aussie driver really needs as many laps as possible in the car to prepare himself for the race on Sunday. But the good thing is that he got some running in the car in the Barcelona test and he looked comfortable in it.

Another thing that he would hope for is that the team has sorted out its brake issues from testing. Maybe going into the first race, the team will spring a surprise and be more competitive than previously imagined.
