Ricciardo’s performance trainer Italiano, who also runs his own online training platform MI Coaching, said it was disappointing to be overtaken in “a really healthy fight”.
But he looked positive and insisted that the team can turn it into positive.
“I think it’s a good thing to be honest,” he told Express Sport. “It holds the team accountable as we know we can’t be comfortable in the position we are in.
“This sport is one of the most innovative sports in the world and as you can see it comes in mid-August when upgrades are made and you are not at the same level or not as active, it just shows how quickly other teams can get better .
“I think that’s exciting because if you don’t play along or don’t work hard enough, there are times when a team can really improve mid-season, which Ferrari has done.
