Grand Prix on Sunday.
All hope looked lost for the Australian when he was forced to pit early in the race after picking up debris in his radiators from an accident in front of him, dropping him well down the field.
Then a mixture of safety car periods, accidents and a red flag saw Ricciardo pick up places and get into contention for strong points.
But
a penalty for Sebastian Vettel for hitting Lewis Hamilton under the
safety car, and a pit-stop for the Brit with a loose headrest gifted
Ricciardo the lead, which he held on to in the remaining laps to take
his fifth victory of his career and his first since Malaysia last year.
But
it would be heartbreak for Max Verstappen yet again, who was well
placed in the early running before yet another car failure forced him to
retire for the fourth time in six races.
