The really impressive thing for Ricciardo, apart from managing the problem you mentioned at the beginning and losing the MGU-K, was just the total dominance of the week. Tops every practice session, every qualifying segment, something that is not common in the context of this season ... In fact, Ricciardo's win in Monaco is only the fourth time a driver has topped all sessions in the 21st century. So that's a rare achievement. And it's only happened at Monaco once before, which was a certain Michael Schumacher in 1994. It just represented a guy who came here with his first opportunity to be in that sort of position because Red Bull's power deficit is mitigated by the layout of Monaco, and Ricciardo's just been top dog from the very beginning.
