Daniel Ricciardo

not a good night for Max and Dan ..... will be interested to see the aftermath.

Bottas .. a puncture .... Vettel a wheel lock and... our "favourite man" Hamilton does a Bradbury.

Not sure if I will watch the race replay.. the Azerbaijan circuit does however look very beautiful on TV

its suggested that Ricciardo is leading the race for seat 2 @ Red Bullsh.

don't do it Daniel... you don't want to be trained into being a backup, for others... hold onto your dreams.

wait for the merry go round to settle, & try for a seat @ Mclaren or Mercedes...

He did the back seat job with RB... and now going for front seat @ Renault. 

Goodluck Daniel, you might need all the french luck you can ?

'Drive to Survive', the newly release F1 doco series on Netflix sheds a lot of light on Ricciardo's move and the broader tension between RB and Renault - well worth a watch. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

I found these links for a live stream....hope they might work for future races that arent free to air for those, like me, who dont have foxtel.

These still work. You may have to try a few, as some will be in different languages.

Has completely lost his mojo.

Must admit that I haven't been the biggest fan of Riccardo over the journey. For whatever reason I haven't felt able to follow him with the blind loyalty of many other Aussies, which I can't blame people for given just how hard it is for an Australian to break into and then succeed in this sport. I guess I just wanted to see him more in the mould of European drivers that I'm accustomed to, especially those of the 90's that I grew up with. Regardless, I think this move to McLaren will mean we'll finally see his full potential come to life.

Initially I had doubts about the merits of leaving a works team, but seeing how his departure from Renault was handled publicly, how McLaren treated Sainz's departure along with how Zak Brown has spoken of Riccardo's signing speaks volumes.
