Ricciardo at top of his game according to Horner

The Aussie recorded the sixth win of his F1 career with a brilliant drive from the third row of the gird.

It was a magnificent win for Daniel Ricciardo in China and his team principal Christian Horner says he is operating "at the top of his game" in 2018.

Bahrain was a huge disappointment for the team with a double retirement in the books with just a handful of laps recorded but their performance in China marked some comeback.

While Max Verstappen made headlines for all the wrong reasons, Ricciardo's bravery on the brakes and superb overtaking put Red Bull back on the top step and team boss Horner regards him as one of the best on the grid.
