Were you impressed by Daniel Ricciardo's F1 return at the HungarianGP?
A P13 finish at the chequered flag may have appeared unremarkable on paper, but given the circumstances, it represented a solid job from Ricciardo in largely unfamiliar machinery .
Ricciardo finished 21 seconds behind 10th-placed Lance Stroll and reckons points might have been on the cards had he not been collected by Zhou at Turn 1. “If we stayed ahead and held position at the start I believe we could have really fought for a points finish today,” he explained. “I was kind of just stuck behind a bit of a train behind [Logan] Sargeant and someone else and I knew in dirty air, even with these new cars, this circuit is definitely a hard one to follow at.“But I think they pitted quite early and as soon as they did I felt the grip coming back in the tyre and thought ‘let’s see what we can do in clear air’. And that was better.
“Then we pitted relatively early. I think we got put back in traffic and that’s when I was like ‘whatever we can do let’s have a think to give me clear air.’”
