[@peachique]

Not a driver or racer at all and I thought this explanation was very simple.

[@andis9076]

Daniel is a braking master. His braking skill is impressive, he never locks up while braking much later and harder than others.

[@AlexTapisevic]

Andi S New tyres

[@andis9076]

For this race yes, but he manages keep doing for other race tracks as well. He can dive in and make it looks easy.

[@azab515]

Andi S apart from todays race :D

[@andis9076]

Max did double moves, shut the door and brake hard. So when you're directly behind another car, the front wing lose significant down force so less grip under braking. It's Max fault.

[@azab515]

Andi S i agree with you but why were the commentators saying it was ricciardos fault? It did kind of look like he didnt have a real window to overtake but then i can see max cut him off both sides

[@TheKincognito]

This is Spot on. In my Opinion Ricciardo is currently the best Overtaker on the Grid. Not just because of his Braking abilities, but mostly because he's a Master in forcing People off the Line, as you explained in this Video. He's opportunistic too and misjudges very rarely, whilst still being agressive. Yes, i'm aware of the Fact that i sound like a Fangirl. But seriously....how can you not like Ricciardo

[@Reydriel]

I'm not surprised he has fangirls lmao. But you're completely right!

[@MartijndeRondeDesigner]

i mean how can u hate him he alwasy fckin smiles even when his engine stops he still smiles like how

[@Ruiner89]

The thing I like about him the most is how clean of a racing driver he is despite how aggressive his moves are. You will rarely see him make a mistake, lock a wheel, run wide, make contact with an opponent etc etc. Please Red Bull or another top team, give this guy a championship winning car!

[@TangoNevada]

You have to be superior at overtaking when driving an inferior car. Sure he had better tires at that point, but so did other drivers.

[@ouaisgro2502]

Ruiner I really like how clean of a racer he is. He has never been caught in a “bumper cars” style battle, he is driving clean and hard like Räikkönen used to

[@hellotheregeneralkenobi365]

Another factor is psychological. It can be very mentally taxing on the driver ahead to have a faster car behind trying to get by. Not only having to focus on the correct racing line as normal but also keeping track of the rival car's location. A driver behind can try and provoke mistakes via feints and being a general nuisance in the mirrors of the car ahead.

[@DenwarTheoriginal]

Ricciardo's has the best racecraft of any of the drivers. His skill goes well beyond overtaking & braking. His wheel to wheel racecraft is incredible, a great example to check out is his 2017 race in Monza where he went 3 wide (middle) thru Turns 1 & 2 while avoiding any contact (race start or lap 1?). That same race is also a good example of his overtaking as well.
