Daniel Ricciardo says he was at '98 per cent' during solid F1 return in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying... with the Aussie feeling 'quite confident' in his new Alpha Tauri

Daniel Ricciardo says he was at '98 per cent' during solid F1 return in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying... with the Aussie feeling 'quite confident' in his new Alpha Tauri  Ricciardo at 98 per cent in F1 return  Aussie will start at 13th on grid  Says he's feeling confident in new car By James Cooney For Daily Mail Australia Updated: 21:41 EDT, 22 July 2023 Australian F1 star Daniel Ricciardo says he was at 98 per cent in his his struggling AlphaTauri car during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix. Ricciardo, 34, is looking to prove he still has what it takes to perform at the highest level after signing a short-term deal with Red Bull's junior team this month, replacing the disappointing Nyck De Vries. With AlphaTauri rooted to the bottom of the constructors' championship, and failing to get out of Q1 in their last four races, Ricciardo delivered in his first qualifying session back, putting his car on P13 for Sunday's race. The West Aussie qualified four positions better than teammate Yuki Tsunoda in a vehicle he'd only driven for the first time last week.  'Yesterday, there was still some things I was missing some lap time on, and I improved those today,' he told Speedcafe.com. Daniel Ricciardo has immediately delivered by lifting new team AlphaTauri to its best qualifying position in four races Ricciardo qualified four positions better than teammate Yuki Tsunoda in a vehicle he'd only driven for the first time last week 'Everything I had to improve last night, I felt like I was able to go close to 100 percent – maybe 98 – so I took a nice step. 'I think that was pretty good.' Ricciardo said he was getting good feedback from the car within the first lap. 'Before the rain came in FP1 I did pretty much one lap – I got the red flag just before the line,' he explained. 'Already in one lap of driving the car, I was filled with a bit of confidence. It wasn't at the limit yet, but I felt like it was responding the way I was anticipating. 'In general, I think it's something I can feel comfortable with and work with. 'Probably now, it's just overall load that it's missing, but the balance feels not a million miles away. 'That's encouraging; encouraging for me that it's a little bit familiar.' Ricciardo says he's already feeling pretty comfortable in the new AlphaTauri car Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says the West Aussie has done a great job The eight-time Grand Prix winner added: 'Not a whole lot of time in the car, but in saying that, I felt pretty comfortable already yesterday – we only really got one session, but I was a bit off the pace, but I kind of knew where I was missing, and it was quite self-explanatory where I could find the pace. 'So I felt quite confident in the car, but now it's always… probably all of us can get to 95 percent quite easily at this level, it's in those last few percent. Ricciardo's performance was hailed by fans excited to see him back in the paddock. 'He's done a great job,' Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said of the Aussie. 'He's in a very foreign environment after seven months out of a seat, (so) it was a really solid, mature performance from him today and the team will really benefit from his experience and knowledge.' 'You can see he's really enjoying it,' Horner added. Meanwhile, fellow countryman Oscar Piastri - who replaced Ricciardo at McLaren last year - put his car on the second row as he continued his good form after finishing fourth at the British Grand Prix.

Interlagos is one of the world's great circuits. In Formula 1 98, not so much. Also I match the game's odd energy with a farcical moment of my own...

✨⚠️ Wasting Away Again in the Goldilocks Zone ⚠️✨

If you're new here, this is one of those "human Bill in the Mystery Shack" redemption fics, you know the drill: Bill illegally escapes death via reincarnation; the Shack crew imprisons him til they can figure out how to kill him; but they won't, because Bill's gonna make friends with them and literally everybody else in town. Whether they like it or not.

Featuring!! The slowest redemption arc you've ever read; "human" Bill that doesn't decide being trapped in an alien body is fine; show-style episodic plot structure; individual plot arcs for characters you've never even cared about; so canon compatible we even include the dang coloring book; and so TBOB-compatible over a year before TBOB came out that I'm considering taking up a position as the Oracle of Delphi just so Apollo stops barraging me with dodgeballs.

New chapter every Friday, 5pm CST! Yes, that includes this Friday!

Anyways my random headcanon for the day is we all know Formula 1 Is A Rich Person's Sport. Most, if not 98% of the drivers are all sons of billionaires. so what am I trying to say here?

At least one of the batboys got Bruce to fund their Formula 1 dreams. Maybe they didn't actually reach F1 but F2 at most.

I just like thinking about the batfamily being rich assholes (affectionate) and taking advantage of how filthy rich Bruce is. Because I, too, would gaslight my father into funding my motorsport dreams if I was a 9 year old Dick or 13 year old Jason.

And THAT is why he rarely let's the boys drive the batmobile.

Btw this is live footage of Bruce in the paddock watching his son race in a fast death machine.

What if METTATON opens up a Racing Team?

METTATON RACING TEAM

(Officially named 'Mettaton-Mugen-Honda' and 'MTT-Mugen Honda'... and sometimes called the 'MTT Racing Team')

An UNDERTALE-themed Formula One Racing Team.

Aside from Deltarune and Undertale, I also like motorsport, especially Formula One. Since Papyrus can drive a car, I had an idea where he became an F1 driver, and here it is. However, I wanted to make a team for Papyrus to join in, so I made a fictional one inspired from the Benetton Formula racing team.

Both Frisk and Papyrus are the race car drivers given the fact that the latter has a race car bed and can drive one. The reasons for making Frisk the driver is that they have DETERMINATION as well as all the traits of the seven SOULS; I even wrote the word 'DETERMINATION' on their helmet to make it look more unique.

The MTT Type 1 was originally supposed to be called the 'MTT Type 98'. The design of the car is based on several F1 cars of the 1998 season, specifically the McLaren MP4/13, Ferrarri F300 and the Williams FW20.

Mettaton being the team principal is an excellent choice, because it is HIS TEAM after all. There are several Teams where the namesake is the team principal such as Williams (led by Frank Williams), Jordan (led by Eddie Jordan), Stewart Grand Prix (led by Jackie Stewart) and a few more. His attire is similar to Frank Williams' in the 1980's; Initially, it was supposed to be based on Toto Wolff's.

Alphys and Gaster are the Mechanics who designed the car. I made Alphys the head designer and Gaster the assistant; specifically the one who revised the design and its components.

The sponsors on the vehicle and suits were chosen by me and some of which are associated with Mettaton and his character such as: Marriott Hotels - to which Mettaton owns a hotel in the game, Macintosh (Apple) since Mettaton himself looks like a Computer (in his original form). Other sponsors include Guinness, Breitling, Honda, Goodyear, Denso, Sega Dreamcast and many more. I even added the fictional Anime 'Mew Mew Kissy Cutie' on the front wing as well as (Mad) Mew Mew herself on the nose of the car; This is a reference to Woody Woodpecker being present on the nose of the Williams FW20 and Universal Studios as one of their sponsors.

The team first entered in the 1998 Formula One Season, and had fierce battles with Ferrari and McLaren... especially with Michael Schumacher.

Can you...explain MH and its plot/Lore. Roughly. I know its ages long iirc.

I would love to explain!.... that is, if there was, um, anything substantial to begin with. Monster Hunter games are very light in the plot department. Although, MH Wilds is supposedly going to have a thrilling cinematic story! woven into gameplay, which, uh, makes me a little nervous tbh. Because frankly, you don't play MH for the story. Honestly it's probably going to follow the same general formula as pretty much every other MH game:

"Oh no there's a scary monster that's getting too close to the village! Do something, hunter!"

"Ok scary monster is dealt with. But hmmm..... that was weird, usually that monster behaves much differently... 🤔"

"OH SHIT THERE'S AN EVEN BIGGER SCARIER MONSTER HELP!!!"

"Ah that explains it! The bigger scarier monster disturbed the local ecosystem and caused the smaller less scary monster to act strange. Case closed everything is back to normal now."

Roll credits. Repeat steps 1-4 as needed to create a "postgame." Throw in the occasional revenge plot if you need to spice things up.

Alternatively, do what MHGU does and forgo 98% of the story and instead say "uhh idk whatever. go fight Glavenus again. lol. lmao." Works just as well.

It doesn't help that most of the games are sort of isolated from each other story-wise, with the only references to previous entries being small easter eggs. In fact, up until recently, npcs didn't even have names. Just titles or descriptors like "[Village] Smithy," "Rookie Hunter," etc. Which makes it kind of tricky to have returning characters from older titles in the new games.

Each individual monster comes with some interesting fun facts! Though rarely anything that extends beyond the equivalent of a pokedex entry. And the monsters are grouped into classes based off of their body types and closest relatives, which leads to some silly revelations. Such as Akantor and Ukanlos both being classified as flying wyverns despite having un-evolved their wings long ago.

My favorite tidbit of lore is that the giant dragon Lao-Shan Lung is actually just a newly hatched baby. When it crashes through the fortress it's not because it wants to destroy everything— it's because it's running for its goddamn life from Fatalis.

Anyway! Yeah. Monster Hunter. Exactly what it says on the tin, not much more to say.

robert kubica talks about racing lewis hamilton in the junior series on itv's pre-race show, bahrain - 2007 Interviewer: "Back then you were racing against some familiar names, like Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg." Kubica: "Yeah. We were racing already in '98, in junior category for two years together in Italy and the European Championship, then we met again in Formula 3, and this year we met again in Formula 1." Interviewer: "How does that feel?" Kubica: "I'm really happy that Lewis get a seat and after two races he's doing really good job, and I still remember when we were teammates for one race in Macau in 2004, so was really nice weekend and he's really great driver."
