We know what he looks like. Obviously at the moment he&#39;s very&#8230; .it&#39;s Yuki.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#39;m doing well. I&#39;m thinking long term. It&#39;s a long season, so we have to be able to work together, so I&#39;m not going to come in there with an angry attitude. It&#39;s just that we have to be very honest and realistic: this should have happened when they called it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tsunoda did not immediately follow the team&#39;s order, only doing so on the turn after being asked.  Ricciardo said he, Tsunoda and the team discussed before the race the possibility of a swap if that scenario had played out the way it did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I came on the radio and I was trying to stay calm. A bit of immaturity, let&#39;s say that,&#8221; Ricciardo told F1 TV of his teammate.  &#8220;I&#39;m being very reasonable right now, but let&#39;s call it immaturity. He&#39;s visibly frustrated by the call for team orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut let&#39;s be realistic, this is something we talked about before the race. It was very likely that I would use a soft at the end of the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo he knew there was a chance I would have a pace advantage at the end,\u201d Ricciardo continued.  \u201cAnd if he gets the call, then it\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#39;s not giving me points. We&#39;re fighting for 13th place, so at least give us the best chance to have at least one car in the points.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a long year,\u201d Ricciardo said.  \u201cAnd we need to make sure everything is okay, so we&#39;re going to go back and have a meeting and be very mature about it, and we&#39;re looking forward to Jeddah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will take place in Jeddah next Saturday March 9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RB&#8217;s Ricciardo brands teammate Tsunoda immature after near crash\u060c BAHRAIN \u2014 Daniel Ricciardo criticized the &#8220;immaturity&#8221; of his RB teammate Yuki Tsunoda after he narrowly avoided a collision on the cool-down lap following the conclusion of the Bahrain Grand Prix, won comfortably by Max Verstappen.
