F1i's Driver Ratings for the Malaysia GP

Daniel Ricciardo (3rd - 15 points) : 8/10

No one doubts the Honey Badger’s speed and race craft. However, when Verstappen runs problem-free it can be a tall order to get the better of him with equal kit, which was the case in qualifying and in the race. Once he rid himself of Bottas, Daniel had to fend off the sole attack from Vettel to take his 8^th podium in 2017. A solid drive, but not an earth shattering one either.
