Abu Dhabi GP 2018: 5 talking points from qualifying

#3 What can Ricciardo do in his final Red Bull race?

It would be brilliant to see Daniel fight for some useful points at the front of the grid

If anyone wanted to understand the 2018 season for Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo, it can be understood through a rather polarizing perspective.

On one hand is that part of the season where Ricciardo clinched two wins. This included a great defensive drive at Monaco and the race at Shanghai where Martin Brundle aptly titled him, a "race burglar."

On the other hand, there is this part of the Ricciardo season where he's driven a car that's about as miserable where reliability is concerned as is the McLaren of Fernando Alonso.

There've been as many as eight DNFs this year for Dan-Ric. With no Shoey allowed and no race wins in sight now that the year is coming to a close, it would be brilliant to see Daniel fight for some useful points at the front of the grid.

For now, he starts behind Raikkonen, on fifth. Can he make up some places at the start?

And truth be told, it will be mighty interesting to see what Charles Leclerc- running in seventh at Abu Dhabi- do in his bid to capture some impressive men on the gird ahead of him?
