WINNER DANIEL RICCIARDO
I think I have been pretty fortunate. I’ve only had
a few victories but I think pretty much all of them
have come under pretty crazy circumstances or
the races have been far from dull. Obviously
all of them are special. It was just crazy. We
haven’t been necessarily the quickest car on
track or all weekend. I said it after my crash
in qualifying, I said ‘be there and capitalise on
opportunities’ and I certainly capitalized on all
the re-starts where I was able to gain at least one
position if not more. Then we had some fortune,
with Lewis, I think he had a loose headrest or
something and he had to box and then Seb has
his penalty behind the safety car. It was crazy,
there was so much going on, but it was fun. It
was fun to be in the battle for the most part and
towards the end, obviously once I got the lead
it was just trying to keep the laps I could. As I
said, we knew we weren’t setting probably the
quickest times on track but I knew if I kept that
rhythm it was enough to win. Now it’s sunk in a
bit more, I’m obviously very happy.
