Coming in second was Red Bull’s driver Max Verstappen but catching one’s attention was Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo who finished third but stood on the podium for the first time since 2018. Also, this win by Ricciardo was special for Renault because after 188 races, a driver from their team stood at the podium. Precious moment!
The Honey Badger finishes P3!!!
