Daniel Ricciardo was full of smiles following an eye-catching run to fourth position during Friday’s Sprint Qualifying session at the Miami Grand Prix, with the Australian continuing to build on his recent performance breakthrough.
After a change of chassis and a much more encouraging display relative to team mate Yuki Tsunoda in China, Ricciardo picked up where he left off at the Miami International Autodrome with a run to SQ3 and a spot on the second row of the grid for the Sprint.

Asked for his reaction to the result when he stepped out of the car, a beaming Ricciardo commented: “I feel obviously really good about it. It was just a good session.
“SQ1, run one, the first lap, I actually made a mistake, so we were putting ourselves under a bit of pressure, but I found a good lap, then SQ2 I think we just kind of built up from there.
