Daniel Ricciardo has admitted a long-awaited podium finish for Renault this season would not feel the same – due to the lack of fans.

The Australian has not achieved a top-three finish since he won the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix in his last campaign for Red Bull, joining Renault last year.

Of course, a Ricciardo podium in 2020, before he moves on to McLaren for next term, would mean his Renault team boss Cyril Abiteboul having to be tattooed as part of a bet struck between the duo before the season began.

It nearly came in the Tuscan Grand Prix at Mugello but the 31-year-old was passed for third late on by Alex Albon.
