Daniel Ricciardo says he cannot believe the "unreal" good fortune he benefitted from in a topsy-turvy Azerbaijan Grand Prix on his way to recording his fifth Formula One victory.
Such a feat looked highly unlikely heading into the race as the Red Bull driver lined up from 10th on the grid following a crash in qualifying, and even more so when he was forced to pit on lap six to remove debris from his brakes in order to prevent overheating. Dropping back to 17th at one stage, Ricciardo worked his way up the order during three Safety Car periods and found himself running in the top five.
