F1: The 5 drivers who improved their form at the 2018 Japanese GP

#4 Daniel Ricciardo

F1 Grand Prix of Japan, where Ricciardo produced an impressive drive

Ricciardo was elected the driver of the day for displaying a heroic drive at the 2018 Japanese Grand Prix.

His heart must surely have sunk when he wasn't able to set any time in the rain-hit, massively-wet qualifying on Saturday that saw him begin from fifteenth.

But displaying the quintessential Aussie-grit, Ricciardo bounced back and collected a fourth, making impressive moves over the Toro Rosso', Renault's and going ahead of Kimi Raikkonen.

In 2017, Ricciardo managed another P4, which he improved from a lacklustre 2016 Japanese Grand Prix.

Well done, Dan!
