Your one piece of advice for Daniel Ricciardo this season:

You missed out the little bit about being advised that the fuel flow was high, by the FIA, during the race and did nothing to correct it = BANG TO RIGHTS.
You missed out the point that maybe all their engine maps were at fault and there was nothing they could actually do about the peak flow.Driving by wire on a throttle pedal gives you no control of the fuel pressure on the rails nor the squirt duration of the injectors.
Perhaps the only thing RBR could have done was to advise Ricciardo 'Don't let the revs above 2,500' - so either retire the car or race to the end and try your luck in an appeal.

You missed out the point that the FIA sensor, no matter whether faulty or not, was the ONLY certain legal flow sensor that RBR KNEW they could use for the race. It was TOTALLY THEIR choice to replace it. I think it very likely they will drop their threat to appeal.Driving by wire on a throttle pedal gives you no control of the fuel pressure on the rails nor the squirt duration of the injectors.

It's just what's needed at the start of the season, more bickering and fighting over rules, some of which are no doubt important but at the pinnacle of motorsport to restrict fuelling i.e. set a maximum mpg is just ridiculous imo
Well yes I agree, BUT the recovery systems are "maturing" and if in todays political climate eventually allow motorsports to continue in the future.......Shivit said:
Are they going to try the "we were trying to cool the turbo by over fuelling" defence?
One or both of two defences will most likely be presented. 1. The you don't know your arse from your elbow defence involving the insistence that their own measurements are irreproachable and there is therefore no need for FIA sensors to monitor such things. Having had this revelation Red Bull have decided to no longer allow any scrutineering of their cars as it's consequently inconceivable that any part of their cars would ever contravene regulations.
2. The I was the best man of the bloke who runs this sport don't you know defence.

I wonder if they relayed any of the unfolding saga in the pits, to Daniel during the race?
I doubt it, it seems a bit like RBR used Daniel's car as a Guinea pig, unless Vettel's car was also falling foul of the fuel flow rules?Just seems a bit off to me that one car dominates while the other one turned into a dog

Given his performance this weekend, I really don't think Daniel needs our advice.
First sensible post of the thread ....... In both races so far he's clearly demonstrated Red Bull made the right decision promoting him from TorroRoso and not chosing any of the bigger names available at the time. Very impressive dealing with the Spanish 2WDC on Sunday. Most impressive in fact and his showing on home ground also very impressive irrespective of any alleged fuel supply boost issues..
Things can only get better.
Some say said:
He was given Vettel's car in Aus ...
Not me. ... they may have given Vettel his car though in Aus... As said I don't think that he needs too much help from us lot other than a bit of support. If he were to ask me what I thought though it's quite simple:-
"You've proved over two weekends that you deserved this gig and you have driven and acted, even in the face of adversity, like the WDC in waiting I always believed you to be since I first met you at Oulton Park; a fresh faced Aussie kid with a massive smile pointing out the British F3 Championship trophy and showing the other drivers where they'd be adding your name."
