Being lapped by another car is never a positive situation for a driver especially if the driver is your teammate. McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo found himself in this predicament recently when teammate Lando Norris lapped him in Monaco. Onboard footage showed that Lando Norris waved at Ricciardo when he passed him. Some have suggested that this was meant in a belittling manner. Norris has now shut down such claims and explained the purpose of his wave while speaking on his Twitch channel Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugy-cqoyGC1pmlsYzeZ4AaABCQ 0:00 - Did Norris Wave Sarcastically At Ricciardo When Lapping Him? 1:23 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Did Norris Wave Sarcastically At Ricciardo When Lapping Him? Norris gave his opinion on the suggestion that his wave had an ulterior motive “I see so many of you make up absolute crap and nonsense as usual” He then explained why he waved “Any time someone lets me pass for a blue flag, anyone, if they get out of the way properly – and they should – I put my hand up and say thanks, alright? I’m saying thanks” He also added that Ricciardo wasn’t the only one he waved at in Monaco “I [waved] to freaking everyone: Mazepin, Schumacher, Danny. Whoever I passed and they got out the way, I put my hand up and say thanks, right?” He signed off by reiterating that people should not read too much into any of this “So, don’t just notice one when I frigging passed Danny and then think I’m doing something that I’m not, alright? Let me just get that point across because I see a lot of stories that people make up” Fast Feed Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer thinks that “for 'low rake' cars [flexible wings] makes an average difference of a couple of tenths per lap approximately” “However, there are tracks where you don't benefit at all, while elsewhere it might be half a second” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner feels that Mercedes team principal “Toto [Wolff] has had it far too easy for the last seven years” "It's about time he had something to do" added Horner He further hopes “it goes all the way to the wire. That's what the fans want to see, and what they have been crying out for, although [he doesn’t] know if [his] nerves could take it” Horner is also of the opinion that they’re “tremendously useful to Liberty Media and F1, because [they] could gear up to supply other teams if required, as manufacturers tend to come and go” “To have an independent engine builder like Red Bull Powertrains is attractive to Liberty” He also revealed how they had to start working on their own engine as “Mercedes wouldn’t supply one and Renault didn’t want to supply one, so it didn’t leave [them] with a lot of choice” He further joked that they’ve “got to get on with it and make Toto rue that decision. Maybe one day [Toto] will need an engine from [Red Bull]!” Alpine CEO Marcin Budkowski feels that their “competitors made the most of the race [in Monaco], especially those behind [them]” He also suggested that “both [his drivers] struggled, but the difference was in the fact that Esteban [Ocon] was able to get his tyres to work in Q1, and Fernando [Alonso] wasn't” Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz has cautioned that his podium in Monaco “doesn't mean [they] can fight for pole or the podium with Mercedes and Red Bull now” He thinks Mercedes and Red Bull “are still ahead of [Ferrari]. This weekend is a bit hard to digest because you don't know when the next opportunity will present itself” Retired F1 driver Felipe Massa thinks that Carlos Sainz “fits well with the team from Maranello [Ferrari] and he has to keep dreaming of the highest achievable now as well” “As a driver you have to keep on believing. In Charles Leclerc he has an excellent teammate, who has a bright future ahead of him. That completes the picture for Ferrari” added Massa Red Bull’s Sergio Perez hopes that he “can put a strong qualifying together [in Baku] because [they’ve] proved that [their] race pace is right up there with the best” They “just have to improve [their] Saturdays and then [they] should be fine” The only thing McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl wants “to say is that this was clearly a one-off livery” “About plans for the future, [he] can't say anything at the moment” Was Ferrari’s Monaco pace only a one-off performance?
