Top 5 F1 races of the Pirelli era

#2 Hungarian GP 2014

Take em in, Daniel Ricciardo

Your first season in the senior team with a teammate who is a four-time champion, and you're driving a car that is on average a second per lap slower than the fastest car. But still, you end up winning by overtaking two of the greatest drivers of this generation in Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

Ricciardo had every reason to smile and every reason to rejoice when he won the race. The 2014 season, because of the massive advantage that Mercedes enjoyed, was nothing less than a drubbing for the rest of the grid day in day.

But with the rain clouds opening and acting as a perfect equalizer, the pecking order was thrown out of the window. The race became a complete joy to watch as in the latter stages Alonso, on worn out tyres, tried to defend the race lead from Hamilton and Ricciardo.

In the end, it was Ricciardo who jumped them both with bold moves to take the win.
