Ricciardo he had things under control from the start when he managed to get ahead Max Verstappen, but things were much easier for him when they met in the 26th round Verstappen and its main competitor Hamilton got involved in the first chicane and drove a safety car onto the track.
Ricciardo he said after the race that he was told by the team not to use it in interviews curses, but the interview still started like this: "It was already j **** time for me to win," and continued in a more serious tone: "I knew that even if I got the start, there was no guarantee that I would be able to hold the lead for the whole race."
“I managed to get a good first stint. Our speed wasn’t exceptional, but it was enough to keep Max behind. Then what happened happened, a safety car drove onto the track and things were significantly easier to finish. Leadership from start to finish is something we didn't expect, " he added Ricciardo.
"But I already felt on Friday that something special, something positive could happen. I haven’t been in the form I would have liked all season, and today we managed to win a double win. This is crazy. In fact, I was speechless after the victory, " concluded the racer from Perth, who won for the first time since Monaco 2018
