Daniel Ricciardo claims fastest lap on expected last F1 race to help Red Bull
Daniel Ricciardo helps Red Bull... but🧸 it's likely to be his fi🌄nal act in F1

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo scored the fastest lap of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix -🙈 which is expect♚ed to be his final race.
Ricciardo will reportedly be replaced in the RB by Liam Lawsonꦜ for the next round i🦄n Texas, and for the remainder of the season.
But he completed one final hurrah by earning the bonus point for the fastest lap in Singapore. He was also named F1 ♑Driver of the Day.
Significantly, he took 🔯the point aw🥀ay from Lando Norris who had previously completed the fastest lap.
McLaren’s Norris won the Singapor💟e Grand Prix ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Ricciardo was 18th.
But Norris would have taken an extra point ෴home to help his title battle, if not for ex-teammate Ricciardo’s late intervention on Lap 61.
“Your old pal Daniel picked up the fa🍃stest lap,” Verstappen’s race engineer told him.
“Thankyou Daniel,” Verstappen said on team radio.
It means Ricciardo’s final act in Formula 1 might be to majorly help the team who are expected to d𝓀ump him soon.
He has helped Verstappe🅺n to keep a 52-point lead ahead of Norris at the top of the championship, where it was set to be on 51 points.
Ricciardo also foiled his former McL☂aren teammate Norris in the process.
Mathematically, Verstappen will retain hi▨s F1 title if he finishes second to Norris at each of the remaining grands prix, regardless of fastest lap bonus points.
Ricciardo's help 🌞may not help the popular Australian veteran🎶 extend his career.
The talk throughout the F1 paddock in Singapore is that Red Bull will opt to change the driver duo in their sister team at RB before ♑the next round.
It means, unless Ricciardo makes another comeback in 2025⛄, that he haඣs driven his final laps of Formula 1.
