In three previous races in Hungary, Daniel Ricciardo failed to break into the top ten, but on his fourth attempt the Red Bull driver got everything right, fighting his way to the front to record his second career victory.

Ricciardo won from sixth on the grid in Montreal and from fourth on the grid in Budapest and thus becomes just the ninth man in F1 history to win his first two Grands Prix from outside the top three grid positions. The last driver to do what the 25-year-old has done was Kimi Raikkonen, who won his first race (Malaysia, 2003) from seventh on the grid and his second (Belgium, 2004) from tenth.
Ricciardo, who remains the only non-Mercedes driver to stand on the top step of the podium this season, heads into the four-week summer break with a 43-point advantage over his four-time world champion team mate Sebastian Vettel in the drivers
