Daniel Ricciardo underwent lip surgery after China win

Daniel Ricciardo has revealed he underwent lip surgery shortly after his dramatic victory in Shanghai.

Ricciardo stormed to victory at the Chinese Grand Prix just under a fortnight ago, his first since Baku last season. Shortly after, the Aussie was forced to undergo minor surgery on his lip due to it being infected -- something which occurred in Bahrain, the race prior to China.

"It took me five days to get back to Monaco after winning in Shanghai, and it seriously felt like I was on the go for all five," Ricciardo wrote in a column on the Red Bull website.
