Daniel Ricciardo was certainly happy after making a double overtake on rival Alpines. The French team was under its own attack after Esteban Ocon challenged teammate Fernando Alonso. This obviously put them in jeopardy, as the “Honey Badger” gained an advantage.
Ricciardo has shown immense improvement from the past few races. After facing intense criticism, he has indeed pushed his MCL36 into points places. This move especially proved his mettle as a driver.

The two Alpines were left struggling between themselves after that. This will certainly prove to be a good thing for McLaren, who is directly in competition with the French team for fourth place.

However, this is not the first time Ricciardo has made a move like this. Back in 2017, Ricciardo made a similar move on Felipe Massa, Lance Stroll, and Nico Hulkenberg at the Azerbaijan GP. So, are you happy to see the old Ricciardo back?
