"I think it will stand out on the grid and hopefully it will stand out in the mirrors of a few other cars. "It's innovative and aggressive," said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

For the second time this season, Fernando Alonso made it into the points from 22nd on the grid (the other time was Belgium).It was the world champion’s first retirement since Spain 11 races ago, and his first through a mechanical issue since last year’s Singapore Grand Prix. Speaking of Hamilton, after securing his 100th front row start on Saturday, he missed out on his 100th podium on Sunday when his engine went bang.The last time that happened was in Belgium in 2014, when Ricciardo also won. For the second time in the last six years, there was no world champion representative on the podium.He’s also the only driver on the grid to have finished every race in 2016. Despite it being Ricciardo’s only win so far this season, the Australian has now led one more lap this season than he did in 2014 when he won three times.And in a similar vein, Red Bull become only the second team, after Mercedes, to score a one-two finish in the current turbo-hybrid era.Ricciardo’s victory means that four different drivers have won this season - that’s the highest number of different winners we’ve seen in a season since the switch to the current turbo-hybrid regulations at the start of 2014.Remarkably all of the Australian’s wins have come from lower than third on the grid, Ricciardo having started Sunday’s race from fourth. Ricciardo’s victory was his first of the season and the fourth of his career.That same season the duo also finished one-two in Malaysia. Lewis Hamilton’s late retirement promoted Red Bull into first and second, and they duly went on collect their first one-two since the 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix – the final race of the V8 era – where Sebastian Vettel led home Mark Webber.
