Daniel Ricciardo: Baku has everything necessary for F1

Baku created great track for Formula 1, races there are very interesting and unpredictable, winner of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Red Bull team member Daniel Ricciardo said today at the press conference after Grand Prix ended, Vestnik Kavkaza correspondent reports.

"I think I've been pretty fortunate. Obviously, I've already had a few victories, but I think pretty much all of them have come under pretty crazy circumstances. All the races have been far from dull. All of them are special. Today was just crazy. We haven't been necessarily the quickest car on track all weekend. But I said yesterday after my crash in qualifier that we should capitalize on opportunities, so capitalized on all the restarts, I was able to get at least one position, if not more," he said.

"It was crazy, so much was going on, but it was fun. I'm obviously very happy. Even after my crash yesterday I wasn't fed up with anything that the circuit provided. Part of me actually enjoys that risk. You make the mistake, you pay the price. I feel there was a lot of fun this weekend. It's a challenging circuit, it's not easy. And the racing is intense. Personally, I think its [this circuit] got it all. I've been pretty happy with the first two years I've come here," he noted.

Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes team, who came second, said that he agrees with Daniel Ricciardo. "I enjoy coming here. This place is nice and track is really challenging. We always love a challenge. It's very different from the others street circuits."

"I really enjoy driving here. It has everything. I agree with what Daniel said," Lance Stroll of Williams team, who came third in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, said.
