Daniel Ricciardo - 3rd place, 15 points - 7.5/10

A good performance from Ricciardo, but he was somewhat fortunate to end up on the podium. Verstappen outqualified him and had more pace on a one-stop strategy, resulting in Ricciardo moving over for his team-mate during the middle stint. The final stint on soft tyres is when Ricciardo really came alive as he chased down his team-mate and Vettel, with the latter rattled by the battle and eventually being penalised for moving under braking as Ricciardo attacked. A shame for him that he didn't actually get to stand on the podium, but the result secured third in the driver's championship for the second time in three years at Red Bull.
