Daniel Ricciardo: Mid-Pack Battle at Imola

Ricciardo finished 13th in the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Imola on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Ricciardo's strong qualifying effort would line him up P9 on the starting grid and give him the valuable track position to wage a strong mid-pack battle Sunday at Imola. The RB team veteran would be among those to stop early for new tyres at lap11, and that may have been a mistake as teams that stretched the first stint seemed to do better Sunday. Ricciardo would slip to P16 after the pit stop and would only manage it climb back to P12 by the end, losing one spot late to Kevin Magnussen.
