Daniel Ricciardo says there was nothing more he could have done to try and end his time with Red Bull with a podium finish at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Sunday's race at the Yas Marina Circuit was Ricciardo's final outing with Red Bull before making the switch to Renault in 2019. The Australian was eager to end the season on a high, but ultimately missed out on the podium at the expense of teammate Max Verstappen.
Red Bull's strategy of extending Ricciardo's first stint considerably to give him fresher tyres at the end didn't pay off due to the low tyre degradation experienced on the super-soft tyres, meaning he wasn't able to launch an attack on Verstappen for third.
