#5 Daniel Ricciardo goes Back to Back & Baku to Baku

Daniel Ricciardo is the man everyone is talking about in F1 right now, just as he was this time last year after the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. He got an opportunistic win in China and did so with just as much flair as he did in Baku last year as well. He might very well be the bravest overtaker in F1.

Baku has all the ingredients to make it an eventful race this year, after a pair of great races in Bahrain and Shanghai. And when Daniel Ricciardo sees a race going haywire, he can taste that sweaty, salty 'shoey' champagne on the top step of the podium.

Baku is not a circuit renowned for overtaking, yet Ricciardo produced the overtake of the year last year. The Honey Badger is currently on fire, and by winning in Baku he'd go back to back in Grand Prixs and in Azerbaijan GP victories.
