WOKING, U.K -- Daniel Ricciardo probably had the best view of anyone in the world of Max Verstappen's title-winning pass -- and the defensive moves which followed -- on Lewis Hamilton at last year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Ricciardo was sat in the next car back. Controversially, in fact. Ricciardo's very presence there is a reminder of the questions that still linger from that race.
Unlike the lapped cars which had been between Hamilton and Verstappen behind the safety car in the final laps Ricciardo, and every other lapped car behind him, were not allowed to overtake the leaders and drive back around to join the pack before the race restarted.
