LE CASTELLET, France -- Daniel Ricciardo has been demoted to 11th in the final classification at the French Grand Prix after being penalised for abusing track limits in two last lap overtakes.
Ricciardo finished seventh on the road, but only after a late lunge on Lando Norris approaching the Mistral chicane on the final lap and a follow up move on Kimi Raikkonen.
He went around the outside of the McLaren at Turn 8, running wide and off the track, before returning just before the apex and pushing Norris wide in Turn 9. Raikkonen, who was just behind, took advantage and emerged ahead of both Ricciardo and Norris, but on the following straight, Ricciardo went off the track to get the inside line for Signes and retook seventh place from the Alfa Romeo driver.
