F1: 5 talking points from dramatic 2017 Singapore Grand Prix

#3 Daniel Ricciardo's Singapore connection remains strong

Daniel Ricciardo

Since his move to Redbull Racing from their sister team Toro Rosso in 2015, Daniel Ricciardo has always finished on the podium at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Including this year, in four races, the Australian has finished second the last three years and third in 2015.

This race couldn't have come at a better time for Ricciardo. He was coming off strong races in both Belgium (3rd) and Italy (4th after starting 16th).

The team incurred penalties in Monza knowing that the Singapore Grand Prix would have been a good outing for them. Although Ricciardo came away with a strong second, Verstappen was out of the race after his crash with the Ferrari's on Lap 1. The team would certainly feel they missed out a strong double finish.
