Ricciardo: Bad second half of 2018 'incredible'
Oct.26 - Daniel Ricciardo says his poor second half of 2018 has been "complex and confusing".
The Australian had a strong beginning to the season, even winning in China and Monaco. But since his 2019 switch to Renault was announced, Ricciardo has struggled.
"I don't remember a black cat crossing my path," Ricciardo, who reportedly punched a hole in his driver room wall a week ago in Austin, said in Mexico.
"I really don't understand what is happening but I don't have the feeling that I need to change my approach.
"At the beginning of the season I was very strong but I personally didn't change anything after Monaco.
"I've tried to understand it and become better, but it's strange that the season was divided into two parts for me. It's quite incredible actually and I don't understand how it is possible," he added.

Maybe it's because he's not as good as he thinks he is , or some F1 commentators think he is. I think a number of those commentators don't assess his driving objectively because they are swayed by his personality.
I actually thinks he is very good, but not the best. Don't forget he outperformed Vettel at the Red Bull, but then Kvyat outperformed him. So!? What turned me off Ricardo was his shoe drinking on the podium. Formula is followed by the millions but it still is not a sport of the hoi polloi. His shoe antics attempted to make it be so.
And Kvyat got dropped maybe not the better driver after all.
Jol, you are entitled to your view - and you are still wrong. You entirely missed the point of my post. Maybe it's your English.
Yeah it's my english I speak it very badly I got your point you insulting twit.
I speak badly english you insulting snob.
Joel, you are right on one of three counts - not enough for a passing grade.
And you can't even spell my name correctly.
The misspelling was intentional. And this my last word on this topic.

Jol, I thought so - nothing hurts like truth!
