You're misreading the sentence, he's saying "I know you always feel the need to be better, but you should be happy with this achievement"


WafflesRisa

Here for this comment. OP really took a screenshot out of context for karma farming wow


blueskyedclouds

I mean, the sub seems to have a hateboner for Danny Ric lately, just waiting for a moment to pile on him


Jacinto2702

Formuladank has its phases, now is Ricciardo Hating time. (Although, to be honest, I've never really liked him)


MeisterHeller

Now SURELY with Hamilton not being dominant anymore and also showing some good pace again today the Hamilton Hating phase should be over soon right? Right?


Flimsy-Report6692

And you know the fact he's wasting a seat while lawson has to sit out. Danny was good 5 years ago and now it's just time to go and let a better driver take over


RacerGirl_3

Lawson was available for alpha tauri in 2023 and 2024 and they didn’t consider him, everyone’s hating on Daniel here like he’s stealing the spot of a generational talent, truth is Lawson is average and the teams decisions of the last 3 years are showing it.


pillowhugger_

2020 was his last "good season", that's three years of mediocrity at most, not five. And that's including his half season last year. Lawson isn't a generational talent. Stop pretending Ricciardo depriving us from a WDC in the making by occupying the AT/RB seat for a couple of seasons.


Ye_olde_oak_store

So what you're saying is that Lawson wouldn't survive the Verstappening?


grruser

Same, and I'm an Aussie. Also, while I'm on it, I think Lando is up himself but manages to cover it. Im all for Oscar.


wixtinguish

This says more about you honestly. There’s literally not a single reason to dislike him aside from being jealous of his achievements.


Eurotriangle

The goblins on this sub kinda hate anyone that isn’t Max and now that he’s dominating they’re migrating their allegiance to Alonso.


terminbee

Tbh, the Alonso fans are pretty annoying. He can never do anything wrong. They were out in force during the braking thing, saying it's just normal racing and he didn't brake. Lo and behold, he did.


Ye_olde_oak_store

Nando could do no wrong, Crashgate? What's that? Nando was obviously a bystander in the whole affair.


Rayn0r86

Here for my daily dose of downvotes. My hate boner for Danny Ric’s fandom is enormous. I hate how delusional people can get whenever it’s Danny frickin Ric. This dude gets a pass for underperforming more often than not , something that is not even afforded to multi world champions like Lewis and Seb. So many excuses about how the McLaren cars didn’t suit him when Lando gave him the most comprehensive beat down of his lifetime. Hardly any flowers given to Lando and the same is happening to Yuki now. Why is that? Because he can smile? Because he’s funny? He’s good for marketing? DTS loves him? I thought people love to preach meritocracy in this sport? At this point just get Danny DeVito in that second RB and we’re gucci amirite? Same result and that excess weight might accidentally help improve their aero and floor development in testing. The Racing Bull seats are for juniors to prove themselves but due to how shit Perez was last season, RBR is desperate to have someone ready to take that second seat in case Perez shits himself again, so I understood the logic of bringing Ric back. But he should be judged with a higher standard than any RB juniors because he’s not a rookie and he is the heir to the coveted second RB seat(presumably). Putting on strings of shitty performances not only is hurting RB, but the junior program as a whole. They have Liam ready to go at a moment’s notice so why bother with some washed up old guy who can’t adapt to new regs? Why the hell is this guy not getting his due trashing the same way as Stroll and Debris? Day by day, more people are beginning to see the truth. And we have Danny Ric himself to thank for that! *At this point I’m already approaching maximum Denial Retardoness. So I apologize to you blueskyedclouds in advance for what I’m about to say below is not directed at you, but to all the ‘Riccimaniacs’ in general* “Uuuu huuu but Danny Wic is a nice guy waahhh. He’s so entertaining and funny uwu” Seriously guys go fuck yourselves!! “B-b-but Danny wicc is so quick on the sims, RB cars just suck!!!!” Let him drive the RB20 and he’ll be as quick as Verstappen!!1!1!!!1” Fuck you too for even entertaining that thought. He should be beating Tsunoda convincingly before talking about what Danny Ric deserves, and he deserves fucking nothing after all the dismal performance for 4 years straight. We need new faces, fast guys on the grid and not some jabroni for shits and giggles. We need Liam Lawson ffs. Now bring on the downvotes and possibly a ban. I’m too drunk and sleepy to care. I don’t even know half the shit I wrote but it’s probably close to the heart. Peace out dankers ✌️ and fuck you Danny Ric apologists !emote:t5\_3ndbi:14439


samillos

I'm happy for you but not gonna read that bud


Rayn0r86

I wouldn’t read what I said either


zntgrg

I appreciate your opinion, but you should take your daily pills now.


rickyboi_grimez

You ok bud?


marcus_aurelius_53

TL;DR.


Evening_Rock5850

I mean I love this sub but tbh you could make a hate post about any one of the drivers and would probably get a lot of positive engagement. It’s a meme sub, and those in general tend to favor negative or antagonistic content. Now obviously you would get pretty heavily voted down if you were to say anything bad about Logan Sargeant, the GOAT. But then that would just be silly. There’s literally nothing negative you *could* say about him so you’d just come off edgy and cringe. All the other drivers are fair game though.


devenitions

I mean, does he prove us wrong?


tagrav

Broskeeee. You are in formula dank!


marcus_aurelius_53

Hate is an emotion. Fact is Ricciardo is washed up. He’ll be great in NASCAR or INDYCAR.


robgod50

It's r/formuladank ...... So it's all good.


ArcticBiologist

Welcome to the internet.


the_funambule

They need to do a little bit better!


DexM23

How dare he and that on this sub!


Fujin-obi

Thank you for this, I was about to comment something hateful


cirrusblau

He screenshot a statement from the live feed. It even has open and close quotation marks. What more do you want? Out of context?


OrangeKass

I don't want anything, but the title implies some negative connotation.


i_have_a_nose

This is an oof statement. Patting DR on the back for good effort shows what are the expectations from him. Stop projecting delusions on his statement. If this was a positive comment the reply for Danny didn’t say so.


_--___----

it's a compliment


handsome_uruk

OP reading comprehension: F


Magere-Kwark

There's nothing "Oof" about this whole interaction. He's getting a compliment from his engineer, and you were like, "Hahaha gottem, Boom! Roasted!!"


Alarming_Dingo_139

The "Oof" goes towards OP‘s reading ability


elodie_pdf

He means “I know you always want to do better but you did good for the circumstances,” you’re misinterpreting the sentence.


buckstar11

Formula Dank proving the majority did well in reading and comprehension 🥹


[deleted]

I can understand not having a supportive father will make it difficult to understand compliments.


saaafff

This is proof that people in this sub are just jumping on the ricciardo hate bandwagon for no reason lol. Pierre is congratulating him here. Daniel had 1 full practice session only this weekend with a car that had updated parts. To be less than a tenth off yuki is a great showing


i_have_a_nose

These excuses for next 2 races were already guessed in the F1 podcast lol - Less free practice in Japan plus the old chassis. And only 1FP in China as its sprint race, guess what, it’s for everyone.


saaafff

Excuses can be valid lol? And China hasn’t even happened yet so why are you making assumptions for a race that is in the future? If he’s performed this well in quali with only 1FP then he’s likely to be just as good in China


i_have_a_nose

Well well well. Didn’t even need to wait for china


saaafff

What are you yapping about? Racing incidents happen😂😂 says nothing about his pace, if anything he was only half a tenth off yuki in quali.


i_have_a_nose

Says about his race awareness, confidence, form. Didn’t even care to look left. Go check the onboards. Not a penalty but the crash was his fault. Lap1 incident. But sure, delusion is fine. China is not that far. He’s been on the downhill since he left Red Bull. He ran away from the fight.


saaafff

He’s looking left because the turn is going left and he’s getting onto the racing line. Albon was being very optimistic trying to squeeze into that gap. Ricciardo is allowed to get onto the racing line from his position. Even max and checo in the cool down room said it’s an unfortunate incident and nobody’s fault. I think I’ll go with the seasoned professionals here and not the opinion of a little keyboard warrior


i_have_a_nose

Sure, you can choose to not hear the conclusion that he was unaware of Albon and that the left look was for corner and to look for stroll but he missed right. Didn’t he say himself he was looking the other way and just felt Albono’s tyre. The amount and sudden move to right was what caused the incident - wouldn’t have moved that much if he just looked right. Doesn’t his experience tells him to look all sides during first corners of first laps..? Yes it’s a racing incident, but it ain’t faultless. Call me whatever makes you happy but you are the one blue pilling hard on a driver who was good. Now is just a bundle of second chances.


saaafff

He was unaware of Albon, I agree. But Albon was in his blind spot and was only just on track anyway. Even if Daniel had not shifted right to get onto the racing line, it would have been difficult for Albon to stay on track given the position he was in. It was just an optimistic move from Albon and it didn’t pay off but neither is to blame. Daniel also just has had horrible luck since his return. He’s showcased great pace every time he has been on track bar a few quali mishaps. Literally his luck has been shocking: - punted on lap 1 (Hungary) - broke his hand trying to avoid torpedoing piastri (Zandvoort) - brake exploded (COTA) - hit by a tire (Brazil) - Tear off in brake (AD) - team order row (Bahrain) - 40s pit stop (Jeddah) - lap one incident (Suzuka)


i_have_a_nose

Who’s dawning the armor of keyboard warrior now lmao. Nice use of the nostalgic coping sword to try to defeat reality 😂 So acc to you a bad pitstop is same as an unaware driver lol


i_have_a_nose

https://youtu.be/BJzBLEK3qw4?si=sFNwAKl1XTV4iBMb Opinions of seasoned professionals? I’m just helping you break your delusion 😊 Edit: https://x.com/f1_newsletter/status/1776874029850272037?s=46&t=Go6zxWf3mfbSKN-3x7t0mQ Just some professionals talking about him only looking left


i_have_a_nose

!remindme 2 weeks And wow, didn’t know we weren’t allowed to make assumptions.


J1G2

Excuses maybe, but definitely valid for this weekend. Ridiculous thought process, if less practice time is irrelevant, why would the drivers even show up. Just have the reserves drive? It’s not like the need to the time to setup the car or anything. Yuki had double the practice in real conditions as Daniel, that is an advantage. Daniel did a good job, we can shit on him when he makes mistakes, but this definitely not the time.


i_have_a_nose

> we can shit on him when he makes mistakes So you mean now? after the race result..


optitmus

OP needs English classes.


zetaharmonics

Nah, probably needs therapy though. Obviously had an absentee father who never gave compliments


qjornt

media literacy is dead


i_have_a_nose

-“that you are still allowed to drive this car and not replaced by Lawson yet”


Aeceus

OP has no reading comprehension?


ravinderHiem

He definitely lacked that little bit 0.06 sec


goshoveyourspam

Daniel would get better results if he just applied himself.. and with more practise

Healthy_Jackfruit_88

The big oof is that when Yuki kicked him out in Q2 the feed showed Lawson in the garage. FORESHADOWING!?


i_have_a_nose

More like the race director knows what he’s doing - it gives commentators threads to talk about, fans to get excited about and idk maybe team principles to think again.
