Daniel Ricciardo - 15th place: 7/10

The most damaging incident at the start of the race occurred between Ricciardo and Felipe Massa, with the Red Bull trying to squeeze between Massa and Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari but just clipping the Williams. Punctures for both resulted in a full lap at very slow speed and instead of fighting for the podium Ricciardo was recovering to 15th place. Showed the potential he had by catching the back of the battle for 12th which included his team-mate.
