Daniel Ricciardo didn't get the win easily, he had big problems after lap 18, Quote Speedcafe : Daniel Ricciardo admitted he wanted to ‘close his eyes and cry’ after suffering a loss of power while leading the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix. Having started from pole and leading the opening stages, an MGU-K failure robbed Ricciardo of a quarter of his Renault’s engine power and threatened to end his race before half distance. It left the Australian battling a rear-guard action with a wounded car for much of the race, ultimately pulling off an astounding victory. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I reckon that makes it an even better win for Dan ! It was a performance that even left Red Bull’s typically hard-nosed motorsport adviser Dr Helmut Marko impressed. “It was a serious problem and he managed it unbelievably,” Marko told Sky Sports. “I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER DRIVER COULD HAVE DONE IT !" “At the beginning it looked like he slowed the car further down but when we settled it we changed set-up, he changed his driving style, so unbelievable.” .
