Daniel Ricciardo claimed a stunning victory for Red Bull Racing in Hungary on Sunday, winning the second Formula 1 race of his career.
The Australian passed Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso in the final four laps as a pre-race downpour and two safety-car periods created wildly differing strategies and led to a breathtaking finish.
Ricciardo, on much fresher soft rubber, passed Hamilton with four laps to go. One lap later and he dived down the inside of Alonso at the first corner, and from then on it was plain sailing as he replayed his success in Canada.
