The McLaren driver started the race in P6 but gained a position after the end of lap 1 by passing Sainz. He finished the race in P5, keeping both Bottas and Carlos behind the whole race.
“The first lap was a lot of fun. I got Carlos, I think, on the start, then he got me back with a good move outside of (turn) six into seven. And then I got him back on Turn 17, I think, on the inside.

“Charles (Leclerc) showed that Ferrari were quicker, we couldn’t match that pace today. So obviously that’s something we’ve got to still try to find. But to beat one of them is quite rewarding.
“And (Sainz) put on a good attack later on in the race as well and we obviously went side-by-side, and a little bit of banging wheels. So it was very fun and very needed to hold on for everything I could,” concluded Ricciardo.
