For a short time during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Christian Horner was sure Daniel Ricciardo was about to repeat his heroics from China earlier this year and charge through the field for victory.
Ricciardo appeared to be on the best strategy after the pit-stop window, having stretched out his opening stint longer than any of the front-runners -- meaning he had fresher tyres for the second segment of the race. He quickly closed up on teammate Max Verstappen as the Red Bull drivers caught the leading trio, but his charge fizzled out once they had got past the struggling Valtteri Bottas.
