Only five drivers have scored more wins than Daniel Ricciardo in the last decade.
Hamilton
Vettel
Verstappen
Rosberg
Bottas
Arguably none of his eight wins were achieved with the fastest car on the day. It's a brutal game sometimes.

- The smile of a man who knows his time as a garage cut away has 14 weekends left at most.
- This will be my final year as the @Formula2 commentator. I'm beyond grateful to have had the chance to call ten seasons of the very best racing. It's really not going to be easy to say goodbye - the role changed my life. I hope you can join our team for the final races.
- When @OscarPiastri won the F2 title last year I was a bit frustrated he didn't have a drive so shouted on the commentary "F1 sign him up" I didn't mean *every* team.
- First driver to meme his way back on to the grid. Well played @ValtteriBottas
- On Daniel Ricciardo. One of the last races I watched as a fan before calling F1 full time was China 2018. I was off the sofa cheering that day because his driving brought you to your feet. His performance in all the races he won was a late braking reminder of why we love F1 1/3
- A sport like no other at its finest.
GIF - Thoughts on Adrian Newey: • The reported salary surely makes him the best paid non athlete in sport. • Having seriously upgraded everything else the scrutiny on the drivers will only increase. • Great for F1 that Newey joined a team outside of the current 'big four' 1/2
- Given the mood he's been in recently - if Alonso can get the lead, the potential for one of the great comedy races is huge.

- So that’s now da Costa, Kvyat, Gasly and Albon careers handled pretty weirdly, then Sainz and Ricciardo choosing escape over race winning cars. Not sure it’s a driver problem... Really hope @alex_albon gets a 2022 drive, he deserves a second chance.
- Things are now so dire in UK politics Sebastian Vettel is going to have to run a helmet design highlighting our plight.
- If Sebastian Vettel ever needed to know how well he's regarded, thousands of us watched all of *that* #bbcqt
