Rookie Ricciardo takes out Canadian F1 Grand Prix

[jakeXT]

Ricciardo’s triumph, ahead of Rosberg and once again dominating his Red Bull team mate, the reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel, puts him third on the leaders’ standings behind the Mercedes drivers, Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes cars had power issues through the race and Hamilton withdrew three-quarters through.

Ricciardo said: "The race really came to life in the last 15 to 20 laps, I saw Rosberg was slow on the straights, but it was hard to pass (Force India’s) Perez, so I finally got a run at the last chicane. And (with) a couple of laps to go, I got in the right spot to get the DRS (drag reduction system) which allows greater power. It is such a really great feeling."

Only 13 of the 22 cars finished the race, which was unpredictable and chaotic from the start.

Team principal Christian Horner said Ricciardo has more than proven his worth on the Red Bull team.
