    Ricciardo

    What a tussle between former team-mates Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne. Ricciardo barges his way down the inside at the hairpin, and though Vergne gives him the squeeze, Ricciardo comes out ahead.

    However, Vergne cuts back and has a stab back down the inside at the next corner. It works and Vergne hangs the Australian out to dry on the exit to retain sixth place. Super driving from the Frenchman who is fighting for his career.

  16. Lap 12published at 13:26 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2014

    "Rich one is an engine mix (with regards a message to Lewis Hamilton). Rosberg will probably be coming in next lap."
