SHANGHAI, China -- Daniel Ricciardo says he would have risked an overtake on Sebastian Vettel at the end of the Bahrain Grand Prix if he had been in Valtteri Bottas' position.
Bottas was in second place in the closing stages of the race and closing on Vettel's Ferrari for the lead when he finally got within DRS range on the final lap. But wary of throwing away a podium finish, the Mercedes driver only looked to the inside of the Ferrari before backing out and settling for second.
Having retired from the race on lap two with an electrical issue, Ricciardo was watching from his hotel room by the time Bottas had his chance to overtake.
