Ricciardo promoted to third at Mexican GP

Australian Formula One Daniel Ricciardo has been promoted to third at the Mexican Grand Prix, after Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen both copped post-race time penalties.

Ricciardo crossed the line in fifth, but was initially elevated to fourth when his Red Bull teammate Verstappen copped a five-second penalty for holding his spot ahead of Vettel after going off track on the fourth last lap.

Vettel assumed the youngster’s spot on the podium, only to later cop a 10-second penalty for under-breaking in an incident involving Ricciardo, which elevated the Australian to third and dropped the German back to fifth behind Verstappen.
