Daniel Ricciardo ending this season handsomely

This was Daniel Ricciardo’s second podium in the last three races. Although Cyril said he wasn’t going to get another tattoo, the Australian took his shoey back to the podium. He even ensured Hamilton became a part of it.

Ricciardo explained that he is not taking any wins for granted. He said, “I’m as excited as I was in Nürburgring. It was a bit more… I feel it was a bit more unexpected, this one.”

“Pérez pitted which, yeah, obviously I was smiling about because I was ‘well, that’s given me third on track, and I was more than happy to fight for it at the end,” he added.

Ricciardo stated that Daniil Kvyat became a threat to him in the end. The Russian had a fantastic race himself, finishing at P4 just behind Ricciardo. He said, “I wasn’t sure where he came from but I was told he was on the Soft and he was coming on obviously very strong.”

However, Daniel managed to fight off Kvyat during the last couple of laps and secure his second podium of the season.
