Daniel Ricciardo gave the thumbs up to the Italian Grand Prix's restart procedure after the race was red flagged on Sunday, and which involved a second launch off the grid for the field.
Formula 1 proceeded with a standing start at Monza when the race resumed after 26 laps rather than a typical rolling launch behind the safety car.
It was the first time the procedure was put into practice and it certainly proved more exciting, not only for viewers but also for the drivers.
"Obviously it feels unfair, going backwards but I actually liked that more than a rolling start, because you've got a bot more chance to do more on a standing start, so I liked it," Ricciardo told Sky F1.
"The first start was good, so I had confidence into the second one. Also I was like 'man, I've already done one good one,'. Turn 1 here is so chaotic, it can go either way. But we did well, w held on and both them were good for us."
At the end of the day, Ricciardo concluded his Italian Grand Prix P6, a result that left the Aussie with a feeling of what could have been given the races circumstances.
However, Ricciardo highlighted the consistency of Renault's R.S.20 in a low-downforce environments such as Spa and Monza.
"I strongly believe it is our style of circuits," said the seven-time Grand Prix winner.
"Mugello, it's an interesting one, it's a lot of high speed. I would say we're probably going to run more downforce, obviously more than here, even more than Spa. Let's see how we go there.
"I'm convinced there will be another race like this this year, another chaotic one. We'll get the better end of it."
