Ricciardo was in content𝕴ion for a top 10 spot at the Circuit of the Americas but started to tumble down the order midway through the race.

The Australian was overtaken by the Haas of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg before making a late pit stop for fresh rubber to set the fastest lap - which was later beaten by AlphaTauri teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

Speaking after the r🅘ace, Ricciardo blamed his “miserable” comeback on damage he sustained.

“We werꦫe just limited with damage, unfortunately,” R🐎icciardo.

“We꧅ picked up some damage very🦂 shortly after the hard because we lost a lot of pace very quickly.

“I tol🏅d the team ‘Sorry guys, I’ve got nothing right now. I really can’t d𒐪o anything’.

“They said that it looked like𒉰 we’ve lost something, and then they said, ‘Yeah🌳, there’s damage to somewhere on the front of the car’. I guess it was debris.

“They mentioned (Lance) Stroll. I think we got close, but I don’t think we touched, so I think we must have picked up some debris somewhere, and that made our race a pretty mi🧜se🌞rable one.

“I won’t lie, we’re at best a top-10 car but when you add damage intoܫ it, we are certainly🌟 out of the points.”

It was Ricciardo’s first back ℱafter he injured his wrist at the Dutch Gran𒁃d Prix.

He admitted it was a “tough r﷽ac♍e” physically but “still felt okay”.

“I felt probably worse yesterday (after th♕e sprint) than today – I say worse but I wa꧟s obviously still okay,” Ricciardo added.

“But 𝓀I felt like I got out of the car probably sweating more, so maybe that was just a good little warm-up for me.

“There are positives. The hand is no excuse, that was good, and we did well with the timing of the return, t🦹o kind of have no hesitations or excuses.

“Physically, it’s definitely a tough rac🎉e 🅷and I still felt okay.”
