Ricciardo puts Grosjean's moves on drivers' briefing agenda

Daniel Ricciardo will seek the opinion of his peers in this Friday's drivers' briefing on the defensive moves committed by Haas' Romain Grosjean in last weekend's British Grand Prix.

Ricciardo sparred with the Frenchman in the race and struggled to overhaul the Haas driver who executed several defensive moves under braking against the Renault charger but also McLaren's Carlos Sainz.

Grosjean's antics were eventually called out by the stewards who handed a post-race warning to the Frenchman, but the latter was unapologetic, insisting his maneuvers were perhaps extreme but within the rules.

But Ricciardo wants clarification once and for all on the moves, believing that an "open conversation" on the matter between the drivers will perhaps help bring Grosjean back in line.

"We'll probably bring it up in the next drivers' meeting, just to get the other views," Ricciardo said. "But I'm sure everyone is on board, it was just a little too late.

"Back in 2016, Max [Verstappen] was doing it a few times under braking and we addressed it, and I felt like we had moved on from that.

"Behaviour has been pretty good from memory, for the most part, the last few years.

"I gave Romain my opinion of it and tried to give him a pretty diplomatic answer. If we bring it up in the drivers' briefing on Friday, open a conversation again, he'll realise it a bit more.

"I'm sure if all the drivers see it, they'll say yeah, it was a bit on the edge. The main thing is it's an unnecessary risk for all of us, even for him, he risked getting a puncture or something.

"It's for all of us, and the longevity of our race."
