Daniel Ricciardo says he expects an apology from team-mate Daniil Kvyat for his error at the start of the Russian Grand Prix.
Kvyat ran in to the back of Sebastian Vettel, causing the Ferrari to hit Ricciardo who was on the outside. The damage suffered to both Red Bulls required pit stops at the end of the first lap and neither were able to recover to score a point as a result, with Ricciardo unhappy with his team-mate for causing the crash.
"A first lap incident that shaped the race for us, and from there we tried putting the medium on and that just didn’t work," Ricciardo said. "But we had a lot of damage. I just saw the right-hand side of the car, and there is a lot (of damage) going on. Just the first lap – people getting a bit impatient I guess.
Asked if he meant his team-mate was getting impatient, Ricciardo replied: "Yeah, yeah. I expect an apology, put it that way."
Ricciardo was then asked to clarify if he wanted an apology from Kvyat, to which he confirmed: "Yes, to a few people.
"He owes it to a few people today, so, yeah, let’s see. I saw a bit of a replay, during the safety car I was looking at the screens trying to figure out what happened. I had a feeling that’s what happened, and that’s what it looked like for now. So I will watch it again but it seems…yeah…that sort of had us over today."
