After a duff pit stop cost him the win at the Monaco Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo got his redemption with a magnificent drive from pole position, despite a complete shutdown of his ERS which left him with 25 per cent down less power. Ricciardo adapted quickly, managing his braking points and knowing where and when to push to not only hold off Sebastien Vettel, but even pull a bit of a gap. Lewis Hamilton finished third ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, Valtteri Bottas and Esteban Ocon – the exact same as the qualifying order – while Max Verstappen finished ninth, having started 20th following a sizeable shunt in FP3.
