During the safety car period in Shanghai, Stroll accidentally crashed into Ricciardo’s car. This ended Ricciardo’s chance of scoring points for the first time in the 2024 season with RB.
Ricciardo was very upset about what happened, especially after Stroll blamed other drivers instead of taking responsibility. He said it made him really angry.
When asked if he wanted to talk to Stroll about what happened, Ricciardo said no. He felt there was no point because Stroll didn’t think he did anything wrong.
Ricciardo mentioned that in the past, he would always try to talk things out with other drivers, even if he wasn’t completely at fault. He did this to avoid making enemies in the sport.
He said, “We’re all rivals, but you don’t want to have a target on your back. I’m not saying Stroll is my enemy, but we need to move on from this incident.”
Stroll didn’t want to talk about the incident in Miami. When asked if he reached out to Ricciardo, he said he preferred to handle things privately.
