While Ricciardo, who eventually went on to finish fifth in his Red Bull, added: "I was pretty jacked up after the move, I was a long way back.

"I could see he saw in the mirrors I was there, Valtteri is not known to be a dirty racer and I knew he wouldn't turn in on me. It was good fun."

Nico Rosberg came from second on the grid to win the race ahead of Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

The Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen came third and fourth respectively, while Ricciardo's team-mate Max Verstappen finished down in seventh, behind Bottas.
