Daniel Ricciardo: “We didn't win but we gave our all”

Another nice podium for Daniel Ricciardo – the fifth this season – which in Singapore GP he finished second behind Nico Rossberg. Given as favorite on the track Marina Bay, the pilot Red Bull he fought to the end to try to catch the leader of the Mercedes, but the 61 laps available and the German's impeccable performance did not allow him to do more.

“Today we were very close – commented the rider Red Bull after the podium -. We did everything we could and I think it was a practically perfect race. The only way to make it even better would have been to pass Nico at the start. During the race I then just concentrated on trying to catch him and put pressure on him. I knew that his engineers were telling him over the radio 'Ricciardo is approaching, two seconds per lap'."

“I just tried to stay focused while keeping the crowd engaged. I pushed hard towards the end on the supersoft compound, but I wasn't close enough. I'm leaving here but without regret. Of course, we came to win and we didn't do it but I feel like we did what we could", concluded theAussie of Perth.
