Daniel Ricciardo has finally returned to the points as the Aussie's F1 future remains cloudy. 9WWOS
Max Verstappen once again pounced when rival Charles Leclerc faltered in their race for the Formula One title on Sunday.
Leclerc regained the lead when he pitted under "virtual safety car" speed restrictions while the two Red Bull cars stayed out. Verstappen had passed Pérez shortly before Leclerc's failure and the reigning F1 champion cruised to his fifth win in seven races. There were more late reliability concerns Sunday when Verstappen told his team the car felt odd under braking, but he was able to make it to the finish.
Red Bull went one-two in the race with Pérez finishing second, while Mercedes was third and fourth with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. Ricciardo had been stuck behind Norris for much of the early race, despite having more pace, in an attempt to protect the younger driver from faster cars further back.
