Daniel Ricciardo started from pole position in the Mexican Grand Prix and was well in the race. But shortly before the end, his Red Bull went on strike. The Australian did not care about his car.
eThere were only nine laps to go to the Mexican Grand Prix. Daniel Ricciardo was still in the race. It's remarkable in this season of Formula 1 because the Australian Red Bull is anything but reliable. Then came: in second place, the 29-year-old had to abandon the race. His Red Bull went on strike again. This time, the clutch should have been to blame. It was already the eighth fall of the Red Bull driver this year.
As a result, the mood of the Australian after the race was modest: Lewis Hamilton was crowned prematurely world champion. "Sunday comes things that I can not explain anymore, I let Pierre Gasly drive the car, I'm fed up," Ricciardo told Dutch television Ziggo Sport.
Already last Sunday at the US Grand Prix, Ricciardo was forced to put the car out of service. He then raged in his locker room and destroyed it. According to him, this will not happen during the next race on November 11 in Brazil. Pierre Gasly should replace him. Gasly drove for the other Red Bull Toro Rosso.
Lewis Hamilton for the fifth time world champion

The British Lewis Hamilton has crowned with fourth place at the Mexican Grand Prix as world champion. The title number five means one more than his permanent rival Sebastian Vettel.
"The frustration does not describe it correctly, it's hopeless." Honestly, I see no reason why I should come on the track on Sunday and why I should be competing in the next two races, "Ricciardo said. He has not had a clean weekend for so long: "I'm not superstitious or anything, but this car is cursed."
"We must apologize to him"
In 19 races, Ricciardo saw only eleven times the checkered flag. In the drivers standings, he finished seventh behind teammate Max Verstappen in sixth place. In Mexico, he started from pole position and had the best chance of getting on the podium until retirement.

Daniel's car had a hydraulic failure nine laps from the end. It is very frustrating for the team not to have both drivers on the podium. We must apologize to Daniel today and we will fight as hard as we can during the last two races of the season, "said Christian Horner, director of the Red Bull team.
Ricciardo is unlikely to live up to his threat of not going to Red Bull in Brazil. After the first frustration is gone, he again looks conciliatory: "I am a very positive guy and I am going to wake up tomorrow and probably something positive."
