Daniel Ricciardo's triple overtake in Baku is simply sensational
What a move this was
A Daniel Ricciardo victory is never dull and this one in Azerbaijan must count as one, if not the most, eventful in his F1 career.
We know about his qualifying crash that left him 10th on the grid and his comeback from almost last place after an early stop to remove debris from a brake duct.
But what is worth watching again and again is his triple overtake during one of the numerous restarts in Baku.
Yes, triple overtake.
With the Azerbaijan Grand Prix delivering the race many expected last year (OK, maybe not that crazy), several drivers made use of F1's longest straight to complete their manoeuvres.
"Coming through"
But none were as impressive as this from Ricciardo as he went past both Williams of Felipe Massa and Lance Stroll as well as Renault's Niko Hulkenberg on the dash down to turn one.
Sixth to third in one go. Way to go Daniel.

What is funnier is he told Horner exactly what he was going to do while they were chatting under the red flag. And then he just went and did it. Amazing control braking into Turn 1.
was that on team radio? I did not hear that.
Was in the pit lane on the FIA camera feed
