MASSIVE drama at the F1 Styrian Grand Prix. Daniel Ricciardo run off the track and the man who did it has had his car impounded by stewards.
Daniel Ricciardo fumed after being forced off the track and dropping two places in the penultimate lap of the Styrian Grand Prix, won by Lewis Hamilton.
Despite Stroll's driving being cleared, Ricciardo insisted that his rival had made a "desperate" move rather than a legitimate pass."He didn't really get past, he forced both of us off the track," Ricciardo said. Ricciardo's car again appeared to be struggling. He retired from last week's Austrian Grand Prix because of engine failure and teammate Esteban Ocon did not finish the Styrian GP due to overheating.
was one of his best in extreme conditions, but during the race he was hardly challenged as he finished a sizeable 13.7 seconds ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas and 33.7 ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen. Despite the sizeable margin of Hamilton's win, Bottas maintains he can challenge for the F1 title. He leads in points 43-37.
Leclerc tried to overtake down the right entering a hairpin bend and ended up riding over the back of Vettel's car, mangling his rear wing and prompting a safety car to come out for two laps. Verstappen's front wing was damaged on the right side and, with six laps remaining, his lead over Bottas was down to under a second.
