Daniel Ricciardo hit with three-place grid penalty for Spain

BAKU, Azerbaijan -- Daniel Ricciardo will face a three-place grid penalty at the next race for his clumsy collision with Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The Renault driver attempted a late lunge on his former teammate late in the race, but misjudged the move and went straight on at the slip-road at Turn 3. That forced Kvyat wide into the slip road as well and the two cars came to a stop next to each other.

While trying to get going again, Ricciardo reversed immediately into Kvyat's car, sustaining damage to his car and to the floor of the Toro Rosso.
