Slow, steady for Ricciardo

DANIEL Ricciardo admits he was in learning mode as he made his official testing debut for new team Renault in Barcelona, but can’t wait to develop his “new relationship”.

The Aussie hit the track for his first official testing session in his new yellow and black machine on the first day of Formula One testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Ricciardo completed 44 laps during his session in the car with a best lap time of 1:20.983, the slowest time among the 11 drivers out there.
