#2 Ricciardo wins Amazing Azerbaijan race

Riccardo will look to put up a fine performance at Baku

Daniel Ricciardo may always be the happiest driver on the F1 grid but he also knows how to win entertaining races.

Recently this season, we witnessed Ricciardo win an emphatic Chinese Grand Prix for Red Bull after starting the race in sixth.

The Australian has never won a race from starting in the podium positions. A good enough reason for why many call him 'the race burglar'.

One of Ricciardo's finest and memorable wins was the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. It was a street race that had everything from teammates colliding to Stroll being beaten to second just a whisker before the finish line.

Apart from Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton's debacle earlier on in that race, the other highlight was Ricciardo winning under the Baku sunset after starting in 10th position.

A rather impressive achievement when you consider the circuit is a street track leaving the drivers with a limited amount of overtaking opportunities.

Ricciardo's win also included one of the overtakes of the year when the Aussie overtook three cars in turn one. He really left Stroll, Nico Hulkenberg and Felipe Massa for dead with that move.

Can the smiley assassin kill it again on Sunday?
