THIRD DANIEL RICCIARDO It’s, for us as a team, as a brand, y’know, Red Bull, this weekend’s always a big one. On paper it’s not our strongest circuit and yeah, if it was a dry race we didn’t really… probably expect a podium if all the top guys finished. We knew Lewis had his grid penalty but yeah, we thought he was going to come through the field quicker, I guess quicker than he did. So, it was a race where we had good pace. I was surprised that we were able to… I could see Seb for most of the race in the distance and he could see Valtteri, so just impressed with the pace that we had. I said it looked like Valtteri jumped. So yeah in the end he didn’t jump, because it was positive, but for sure he got a bit lucky. But as Seb rightly said, you can’t take the win away from him, so he did well. But that’s my opinion of how it went.
