Suzuka, Japan: Daniel Ricciardo said his first-lap crash at Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix was "one of the worst things that could happen" as he tries to overcome a poor start to the season.
The Australian's race ended when he spun over the grass and slammed into the barriers after the rear of his RB was clipped by Williams' Alex Albon.
Ricciardo had been under pressure after failing to pick up a point in the first three races of the season.
He was chosen for the RB team alongside Yuki Tsunoda this season but Liam Lawson impressed in a stand-in stint last year and does not have a Formula One seat.
Ricciardo said his early exit at Suzuka was "a shame and an unfortunate one for all of us involved".
