When it will formula 1 this weekend in Austria started with its belated season, it is still unclear how much it will end up with performed races and on which racetracks outside Europe. A circumstance that could also have an impact on risks of teams and racers.

"I think there will be both approaches,”Alleged Daniel Ricciardo, team racer Renault in the podcast In the Fast Lane. "On the one hand, there is a conservative approach that dictates that I should not afford any resignation because there are not enough races to make up for it.“Here is the strategy: prevent mistakes and take less risk. "On the other hand, you could say, well, there aren’t many options, so every race will count and I’ll take a chance. I think both approaches are justified."

Sam is in his final season for Renault tends to a clear direction. “Of course, I don’t know what the other racers think, but I can only say so much for myself that nothing will change. You put on your helmet, put yourself at the starting point, and when the traffic lights go out, you simply try to get ahead. For this reason, I believe that we will not see a conservative approach in my case."It simply came to our notice then.

"Maybe someone like Lewis in the first race will risk less to score a few points. He, who always races at the top, probably has a slightly different approach. Still, I don't think much will change,He added Ricciardo. "The guys from the middle of the field will understandably risk a little more, but like I said, I believe many of us can’t get out of our skin once the race starts. Here we need to add adrenaline and excitement because we haven't driven for so long."
