Daniel Ricciardo says he was proud of himself for maintaining his focus after copping a five-second penalty during the Russian Grand Prix, but Lewis Hamilton was less sanguine after being relegated to third by two penalties.

Daniel Ricciardo has been forced to overcome a five-second penalty at the Russian Grand Prix, finishing fifth as Lewis Hamilton also fell afoul of the rules.He copped the penalty on the chin and said "it lit a bit of a fire under my bum"

Hamilton's teammate, Valtteri Bottas, won the race ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, but the drama was further back. He was issued a five-second penalty by the stewards, and when he was told about it on the track, made a typically Ricciardo-esque assessment of the situation."Yeah that's my bad. I'll make up for it.""I was like, the only way to eliminate the penalty is to go faster, and build a gap to [Ferrari's Charles] Leclerc behind me," he said.

"I'm pretty sure no-one's got two five-second penalties for something so ridiculous before," said the Briton, who had won six of the nine races before Sochi.
