Daniel Ricciardo punched a hole in wall after Austin DNF

AUSTIN, Texas -- Daniel Ricciardo punched a hole through the wall of his changing room after retiring from the U.S. Grand Prix.

Ricciardo's race last just eight laps until he pulled over at the side of Turn 11 with a terminal car problem. The Australian had been running in fourth position -- compounding his misery further was the fact teammate Max Verstappen, who started 18th, finished the race in second.

It continued Ricciardo's tough spell and means he has still not been back on the podium since winning May's Monaco Grand Prix. Horner said Ricciardo's frustration got the better of him after the race.
