Not for nothing is Daniel Ricciardo so revered in Formula 1. He might be struggling a bit in Renault, his new racing team, but he remains one of the fastest men on the grid.

For a driver who's already managed 7 wins and 29 podiums having debuted in 2011, Ricciardo is tipped for winning F1 world championships.

And proving just that in 2017, Daniel recorded one of his most exquisite victories ever. The Australian driver began from tenth on the grid and as a result of some incidents early on had to pit early to clear off the debris on his tyres.

But throughout the contest, one ignited by a very vocal Ferrari versus Mercedes rabble, not too subtle on the team radio, Ricciardo, who was the faster of the two Red Bulls collected the checkered flag but not before making some swift moves in the rise to the front of the grid.

While he'd come to blows with his former teammate at Red Bull in 2018's contest (lap 40 incident), the 'honeybadger' would manage to pass his Dutch teammate twice on the grid before their eerie collision.
