Daniel Ricciardo may be all smiles about his F1 race return next weekend 👋 But he's set to face a reality check upon hitting the track in Hungary due to an AlphaTauri car trait he struggled with at McLaren 🤔
Daniel Ricciardo may be all smiles about his Formula 1 race return, but he is set to face a brutal reality check when he hits the track in Hungary.Rather than making his comeback in the kind of race-winning RB19 machinery that he shone with during this week’s Silverstone tyre test, he will be battling a car that has left AlphaTauri currently at the bottom of the constructors’ standings.
But, as was exposed during his McLaren spell, if the car he is driving does not give him confidence on corner entry, things can quickly spiral out of control. As he told F1’s“If you struggle with a corner on the exit, normally it’s a product of what’s happened through the corner that’s put you in a position of, let’s say, difficulty on the exit. Most difficulties start on the entry – maybe not all, but most.
“The late entry, let's say rear instability, which was the bigger weakness, that's the area we've been working on,” he said. “We have improved it, but it's still a weakness, I would say.” AlphaTauri’s problem appears to be triggered as, when the car slows a lot, the rear ride height lifts as the downforce peels off. This then triggers an aero imbalance.
"If we've improved the rear load on the entry phase, if you've got more rear load, you've got more stability. And we're working on trying to carry that further into the corner, so that the driver can push harder towards late entry apex."
