Daniel Ricciardo made an unbelievable drive and took a brilliant win in the Monaco Grand prix. From the 28th of 78 laps, he was driving with a problem in the power unit. But the Australian managed to control the pace and kept behind him everybody else, taking victory for the second time this season. It was his seventh career victory and first in Monte Carlo.
